The VIVA Buyer Journey

We were very impressed with the whole VIVA service. They don't waste any time at all. We talked to one other couple who took a year to find a property. We did it in a day! And being chauffeured around was brilliant. We'd never have found the places we saw if we'd been on our own.

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 bought our El Soto property from VIVA and were very pleased with the assistance and with the overall professionalism of your company. In a couple of years we will be in the market for a villa, and will not hesitate to return to VIVA.

We are in our new house now and it feels just as good as we hoped. We just wanted to thank you for all your help; it would have been much, much harder, if not impossible, without your help!

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.

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting your representative in April. We would like to say how extremely pleased we were with the manner in which he dealt with us. He was always super punctual for our meetings, at which he was very informative, helpful and patient. He has made our first purchase on the Costa del Sol a very good and an exceptionally memorable experience. We are recommending your company to our friends, and we ourselves have placed a deposit on a third property!

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.

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.

In my dealings with your company, and indeed your UK partner, the experience has been outstanding. I congratulate you as a company on recruiting such excellent staff and finding such excellent partners in the UK. I have heard so many horror stories from people who have bought properties in Spain; all I can say is they obviously didn't deal with the right company. Your team couldn't have been more helpful. You have two very happy customers who would strongly recommend VIVA to anyone buying in Spain (indeed, we already have done).

We were over in Spain (unfortunately with another company) and called VIVA out of the blue to see if you could help. We were met at the hotel and I cannot begin to tell you what a lovely day we had with your representative. Your team are a credit to you.
