How we found our dream home in Spain.

We had for some time been thinking about buying an apartment in Spain. In February, we were on the "Holidays for all fair" in Herning, Denmark and there we met Homes-Abroad.net and their team. We told them that we in our summer holidays would travel to Spain and that we would like to see some properties.

We also told them also about our wishes to the apartment and the area. They recommended us to go for Costa Blanca, specifically Orihuela Costa. Then came the summer holidays where we were going to Spain. We met with Kristian Rasmussen from the local homes-abroad office and he showed us the area and some super apartments, which perfectly matched our requirements.

A few weeks after we got home from summer holidays, we decided to buy an apartment. We contacted Kristian and we agreed that we should all meet in Spain. We travelled down there three days in September and we saw again some nice apartments. We found an apartment that fitted 100% to our wishes and we decided to buy it.

Kristian organized the same day a meeting with a lawyer who would help us with all the convenience. The lawyer subordinates everything regarding. purchase and we felt all along that we were in good hands. It was always easy to get in touch with the lawyer and Kristian.

In late November, we travelled back to Spain. We met with Kristian at our apartment. He handed the keys to us, and together we went through everything. The day after we visited the lawyer, where we were given the deed. We also went to the bank, where everything was in perfect order.

We highly recommend Kristian Rasmussen and Homes Abroad to others who are interested in buying property in Spain. They provide a high service and they have a great knowledge of the area.

With best regards.

After some consideration, we decided to buy a holiday home in Spain. On the property abroad fair in Herning, Denmark, we talked with several stands that offered help with this.

Homes-Abroad seemed most trustworthy, so we decided to continue working with them.

We was not sure if we should concentrate our search on the area of Malaga or Alicante but with help and guidance from Homes-Abroad, we ended up choosing on the area south of Alicante. We got in touch with Kristian from the local homes-abroad office on the Costa Blanca south and he helped us pick out some relevant properties for our need. After some communication back and forth, we ended up with a list of about 20 relevant properties in the area. Most of them we had found on the homes-abroad.net website after suggestion from Kristian but others were from totally different websites / estate agents in Spain that they also worked with.

The trip to Spain was planned, in collaboration with Kristian who was also helpful to suggest a very nice hotel.

During the inspection trip we not only focused on the apartment but Kristian also told us that we had to find the right area, so besides showing properties he also gave us a guided tour in the area. During this tour we could ask for and get a thorough explanation of everything - from local sights to taxation and many other useful things to know.

Homes-abroad have supported us in any possible way during the process of finding and buying, including finding the right lawyer, open bank account, making the right budget, calculating our annual costs, and much more. Even after the purchase, they have been helpful, for example. They have helped us with installation of Internet connection and much more. Their extended aftersale service is for life and we can always contact them with whatever problem me may have in the future.

So all in all, we can highly recommend working with homes-abroad.com

Last year when we got the idea about finding a place in Spain, we contacted Homes Abroad.com – They took the job very serious and really understood what we were looking for.

Quickly we were presented for a variety of interesting properties from their many contacts. In the end, they put us in direct contact with a very competent real estate agent in Competa, who knew how to find exactly what we were looking for.

Today we are just so happy about our house in Spain. And it all started with a request to Homes-Abroad.com

We thank Christian from Homes abroad for four amazing days in Torrevieja, Spain.

We feel very lucky that we got a conversation with, Christian Boesen, at the fair in Fredericia, Denmark.

He has been a great help and an incredible support for us as we had no knowledge of the Spanish laws and regulations regarding property purchase in Spain.

The whole process has been very pleasant, thanks to you and your company Homes Abroad.
Once we had decided the week we wanted to go to Spain, to look for property, the only thing we had to worry about was ordering plane tickets. The rest was taken care of by Homes Abroad.

We had four fantastic days, with professional presentations of a great variety of properties, all suitable for our needs and wishes.
We have throughout the process felt that Homes abroad had listened to our wishes, both in terms of placement, pricing and moreover they had a good feeling for what our budget could take.

The four days in Spain, really gave us the right insight into the various opportunities in the housing market in Spain.

Also big thank for the many nice stops we made at all the great restaurants. Spanish food is much more than just paella. You really gave us a new view on Spanish cuisine.

The best part is that we can still turn to you, with all sorts of questions, if we are in doubt, despite the fact that we have already signed our contract. It's really good service.

Now we are just looking forward to come down and enjoy our new apartment in Spain.

Many regard and see you in Spain

In winter 2015 we were looking for an apartment in Spain. We were sent some prospects pr. mail from Homes-Abroad, as we went through. We reported back which we wanted to look into and there was agreed an inspection in Easter week, 2015.

We travelled to Torrevieja (Alicante) where we were met by Kristian Rasmussen from Homes-Abroad. During the 2 days of tours to 7 apartments / houses we were finally shown a house that we wanted to buy. Kristian placed a bid and cut with the seller. He agreed with the lawyer so that we got the deal on the same day as we were travelling back home. This was arranged very quickly and saved us a new journey to Spain.

We got everything arranged while we were there and Kristian drove us back to the hotel and we went back to Norway. He followed up with emails and pr. tel. about how the process around the property purchase evolved. When the purchase was approved we agreed the transfer of keys with Kristian. He was in place at the house on time and had made everything ready so that we could get handed over our new house.

This whole process from viewing to the handover has worked to our full satisfaction, and we can recommend Homes-Abroad heartily to anyone who wants to buy house or apartment in Spain.

We would like to say how impressed we were with all the help and advice you gave us in our quest to move to Spain, if it wasn't for the support of your area managers in both Costa Blanca north and south we think we would still be dithering!

Thanks Chris and Bill Sinnott

We have had a very professional and above all credible advice from Gunner Tisgaard and Homes-abroad when we purchased a home on the Costa Blanca.

Throughout the whole process, we experienced a great guidance with regard to properties and areas on the Costa Blanca as well as the conditions on the individual homes, we were presented, including materials and more.

Throughout the process, it has been our opinion that we have been able to rely on Gunners and homes-abroad guidance and we have never had the feeling that it was about “just selling something” but rather to find the right property for us.

They had an extensive service in relation to a number of practical issues for both property search, purchase and after sale.
We can only give our best recommendations of Gunner and Homes-abroad.

We are writing regarding our experience of buying a property in Spain through Homes Abroad.

We first contacted the Homes-Abroad.net website in January 2015. We told them of our requirements regarding type of property and area.

We came over to Alicante in March 2015 and arranged to meet them for a days viewing.

They sussed us out almost immediately and after a lot of re-arranging showed us around some properties in the Villamartin area.

The final property we viewed seemed to meet all the criteria and after a night to think about it, we decided to go ahead and purchase.

After paying a deposit of 3000 euros, Mark recommended a lawyer and a bank which was right next to the Notario.

Before going to Spain, we were told never to go with the lawyer the Estate Agent recommended! However, we decided after a sleepless night and a lot of deliberation to go with what they recommended. And we are glad we did.

The process continued very smoothly and within six weeks and a return visit to Villamartin we collected the keys to our new property.

We could highly recommend Homes Abroad to everyone. They gave us the whole package - the property, the lawyer, the bank and the Notario. We also made Spanish Wills whilst over there.

Homes Abroad was there all the time whenever we had any queries and gripes!

We are a professional organization whose board in the spring of 2014 agreed to invest in an apartment in southern Spain. An apartment that would be to the benefit of our members on the same terms as the holiday homes we have in Denmark.

I myself already had a property in Malaga area and it therefore seemed natural to look there. But we needed a strong and experienced partner! – one thing is buying for private use - another is to find an apartment, which is suitable for rental towards our many members! So the board was widely agreed to seek professional help!

After having studied the market, the choice fell on Homes-Abroad.net and we have had no regrets. Our direct contact person Sascha Rudkjobing has provided an outstanding service and was a big help, from the recommendation of the attorney, to the search for apartments, interior design, etc. Nothing too big and nothing too small - always quick and appropriate response.

The link that Sascha has been for us has been the key to a smooth buying and takeover.

We can highly recommend the homes-abroad concept and their entire team to others, both private and business customers, to contact if they think about buying a property in Spain.

Our dream was a property in Spain and now we are the happy owners of a fantastic property that meets all our requirements.

Homes-Abroad.com made it incredibly easy all the way. We could fit our jobs in Denmark, while everything was done for us from Spain.

Had we known it would be so easy to buy a property in Spain, we would have done it long time ago. The warmest recommendations from me and my family.

I can highly recommend Homes-Abroad to other who are considering buying a property in Spain.

My direct contact person at Homes-abroad found many relevant properties on beforehand so during the inspection trip I got a perfect insight of the possibilities and the price level in the area.

Homes-Abroad also helped me to find a good Danish-speaking lawyer and was in general very helpful throughout the buying process.

Yours,

We had planned to visit Costa Blanca to view properties in the hope of finding the right property for us to buy. Having spent 2 days with various agents viewing many properties that did not fit our brief, it was obvious that our brief was of little interest to the agents .This was extremely frustrating and a waste of our time.

That was until we met Homes-Abroad (Their Costa Blanca South office). They were attentive and listened to our requirements and provided us with properties that fitted our brief.

We ended up buying via Homes-abroad.

This service should be the norm for the industry but to be frank we found that it was not and agents simply pushed certain properties even if it was not within the customers brief.

The after service from Homes abroad has also been superb, with the whole team providing us with continued help with knowledge of local contractors, cleaners, and also holding our keys until we next visit.

A massive thanks from the Harpers and Wiggins
