Lifestyle on the Costa

We love the idea of living a simple life away from the tourist route, and the house is perfect for our needs. Our dream is to spend the winters here in Spain and the summers touring festivals in Europe with our performance work and jewellery stalls.

The search for the right home was a dream come true, as VIVA's charming representative took us out to the mountains beyond Ojén and Monda. The house VIVA helped us to find is perfect for our requirements.

Thanks for the excellent service we received while looking for, and finally purchasing, our Spanish property. The professional and personable manner in which we were treated was much welcomed. The whole process was relaxed and stress-free – hard to imagine, particularly given our 12-year-old daughter was with us throughout. We felt fully informed throughout about what would happen following the purchase, legal matters and what facilities were available to us through VIVA once we took ownership of the property. We would wholeheartedly recommend VIVA to others.

We (Americans) have spent at least three months each year (for the last 20) living abroad and have visited almost 40 countries. We chose Spain for our permanent retirement last year as it is the perfect compromise of lifestyle, cost, food and weather – we haven't regretted a day of it. VIVA found us the perfect home in Estepona surrounded by Spaniards and expats from 18 different countries. Your (blog) article hit the nail on the head: Spain is a top choice.

The process of finding a property in Spain was made very easy by our VIVA consultant, and everything was explained in detail. We wanted a house outside the main tourist areas and so he took us inland. On our first trip out we found our new Spanish home. You have made our dream a reality and we can't wait to move to Spain in the near future. Thank you VIVA.

I have recently purchased a property in Benalmádena and would like to take this opportunity to thank VIVA for all the help you gave in ensuring the process went as smoothly as possible. I've been more than impressed with the professional and friendly service I received from everyone at VIVA. We were guided through the process and the team was always there to help with any queries we had, no matter how minor. We will be planning another purchase later on this year, and we will definitely be contacting VIVA again.

A friend of ours recommended VIVA which, as it happened, turned out to be a stroke of extraordinarily good luck. The purchase was simple and straightforward, they pointed us in the right direction for sound, independent financial advice, and helped us with introductions to furniture shops and interior designers… it couldn’t have been easier. It’s like VIVA is a one-stop property shop!

We are writing to you to let you know how impressed we were with the service we received from VIVA in connection with the recent purchase of two plots of land in Coín. All the staff were fantastic; they went out of their way to make meetings with the lawyer, an architect and opening a bank account with us very easy. As we were short of time our representative even came in on their day off... we spent a whole day just driving around getting to know the area. We certainly got exactly what we were looking for, and would not hesitate to recommend VIVA to anyone.

We were picked up from where we were staying in Mijas Costa and here began our relationship with VIVA. That morning was a whirl of information, sitting in VIVA's very pleasant cool offices drinking coffee. . It only took two days exploring before we decided on a new-build, completed but only just released for occupation, at Arenal Golf. There were a few minor hiccups along the way, but nothing that VIVA couldn't resolve.

VIVA showed us a selection, and we eventually fell in love with an apartment in Elviria (Marbella). I would probably have never bought my dream home had it not been for the professional attitude of VIVA, and the way in which they gave me the information I needed, when I needed it in a clear and rational manner. I have bought more than six properties throughout my life in the UK and my Spanish purchase was by far the easiest and least stressful.
