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.

With best regards

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

In January this year, having spent several months discussing and researching the Spanish property market, my husband and I decided finally to make a viewing trip and met with Mark Maskell from Homes Abroad at their Pinar de Campoverde office situated in the south of Costa Blanca.

Despite our best efforts we were still very uncertain when we arrived on the Costa Blanca and an earlier meeting with another agent did nothing to change this. However Mark helped us to work through many of these uncertainties as he was extremely knowledgeable not just about the process of buying property but about living in the area. He was able to answer our many questions but also posed some that we had not thought about.

We had a very successful initial viewing day and saw a variety of properties and locations and although we had not planned a second day, when we requested it Mark managed to organise several more viewings at very short notice.

Mark is very professional in his approach but is also extremely personable and friendly making it easy to work with him. He also has the ability to quickly gauge the needs of the client in order to show the correct properties in what was for us a time pressured visit.

Our visit was a successful one and through Homes Abroad we found a property that we are delighted with. Homes Abroad has continued to provide guidance and support post purchase which has been invaluable to first time buyers in Spain.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Homes Abroad to other potential overseas property buyers.

I would just like to say a few words on my appreciation for all the effort and hard work that Homes Abroad put in on my behalf in the purchase of my new apartment in Riviera del sol (Costa del Sol)

I met Homes Abroad at the “place in the sun” exhibition in London back in March after being let down by other agents down on the Costa del Sol.

When visiting the home abroad stand I was immediately impressed with their positive attitude and friendly manner.

I had a trip down to Spain planned for the following month so their local office immediately started putting a selection of properties together to view and arranging with the relevant agents. On my first day of viewings I was pleasantly surprised at the respect they were being shown by the respective selling agents knowing they was working on my behalf as a buyer’s broker.

Over the next week they were fantastic in their arranging of times of viewings and at the same time building a relationship, so as to fully understand my requirements. Even when this involved me wanting to check out areas that they knew I would soon disregard from my search! They knew that was a decision I had to make without them applying any pressure.

When finding the right property in the right area they then showed their absolute professionalism, commitment and determination in putting in an offer and completing on what was an amazing deal for me in the purchase of a 2 bed 2 bath apartment.

For anyone looking to buy in the Costa del Sol area I would not hesitate to recommend Homes Abroad for their knowledge of the area and their understanding of what the client is looking for.

I know now I have also made good friends, that I look forward to catching up with on trips down to put their knowledge of great restaurants and bars to the test.

We've been holidaying in southern Spain in the last 4-5 years and have fallen for the lovely climate and the south coast.

So we started looking at properties online, which however, is an almost impossible task!

When you sit at home in Denmark, and have limited knowledge of the different areas, it is difficult to make a specific search.
The real estate agencies are moreover not particularly interested in giving the specific addresses which makes it virtually impossible even to find the interesting locations.

But we were lucky to come in contact with Homes Abroad and we told them about our wishes and price level etc. Homes abroad started immediately and sent us emails with links and pictures of interesting properties form their network.

But we were still too little concrete to accurately say what area we wanted to stay in so we therefore agreed with Homes Abroad to come down on an inspection trip! 4 days to Puerto Banus to be more specific.

Maria from the local Homes Abroad office met very professionally up at our hotel the first morning and had already agreed the first 3 viewings. During this morning we quickly concluded that we knew too little about the area for us to be concrete yet. Based on the input we had given Homes Abroad during the morning, they managed to set up an afternoon program which more was a guided trip from Estepona to Fuengirola, where the pros and cons, from area to area was very competent reviewed.

Now we could narrow down our search area to only 2-3 areas, where we would like to find our home. Then, we had the rest of the afternoon off - while Maria together with the rest of the team, found some more properties in the areas that we have chosen.

After dinner we sat down with Maria and looked at about 50 possible properties which we could choose to see the next days.

The next two days then went on with viewings of the selected properties. Homes Abroad had also arranged a meeting with a lawyer that gave us a better understanding of the process and rules in Spain - On the 3rd day after several viewings we were fortunate to be presented with the right house, with meet virtually all wish we'd had.

After 3 hectic days with Maria from Homes Abroad and various brokers from their network, we can only give Homes Abroad our absolute recommendation.

They are very competent in the field, have a huge knowledge, know many interesting and nice places and works very hard around the clock until the job is done.

Subsequently, we have been led extremely processional through the buying process and the after sales both by the law firm and Homes Abroad.

All in all a super experience.
