If you would like us to arrange your flights for you then please let us know.

Our local representatives know the country intimately, so we are able to find the best value hotels and best locations to suit your requirements. If you let us know your preferences we can find you the right spot to stay - quiet or lively, whichever you would like – in a place close to the area you choose for your property hunt. 

It can be a good idea to arrange your stay on a self catering basis – to get the feel of living there rather than staying in an hotel. This helps you to discover the facilities and the community you want to move in to, and offers the chance to make some new friends in the way you will when you take over your new house in the sun. 

We have some clients who let their properties when they are visiting the UK – these are often apartments – but do let us know what you would like and we can check what is available.

We recommend that you go on our short 3 or 4 day viewing trip, which we will be happy to arrange for you. This will give you the chance to see the range of choice of the beautiful properties available to you. Our agent can collect you from the airport and take you to your comfortable hotel. Or, if you prefer, will meet you at the hotel. You will be taken on a tour of the area to view your chosen properties by private car.

You may prefer to view as part of a family holiday and we can arrange this so that you spend as much, or as little, time as you would like away from the beach, viewing suitable properties. The pace of viewing is all up to you - this is your dream to realise in your own way.

You will have access to a computer database of literally hundreds of properties (and someone to operate the database for you!), and we will help you narrow the range to find the properties that are right for you. 
Each property you visit then meets your specification – so your time is focussed on finding your dream home. 

Our local representatives have long and proven track records in Spain and we receive much complimentary feedback from our clients about their friendly approach and efficient service. They know the country intimately, so help us to find the best value hotels and best locations to suit your requirements. They know how to help you get the most from your trip and where to find the properties you want to see, and will set up your visits at a time that suits you.   

 If you let us know your preferences we can find you the right spot to stay - quiet or lively, whichever you would like – in a place close to the area you choose for your property hunt.

The trip needs to be viewed as a business trip, and you need some careful planning up front to make sure you get the best out of your time there. Not that there isn’t time to enjoy the sunny days and warm nights – just that a good itinerary will -

               Make sure you see only what is of interest  

               Be planned to avoid wasted journeys, and covering ground twice 

               Be set to the pace you dictate 

               Be helpful and not aggressively sales based. 

We practice all these things we preach! As an independent company, not linked to any one developer, we don’t have to push you towards one particular place. It’s about us doing exactly what you want us to do, all part of the help we provide every step of the way.

Our standard package includes our local, independent associates, who are not tied to anyone, and who can therefore access all of the developers and agents in the area you have chosen. We also have looked at the developers ourselves, and can suggest those that would be particularly worth seeing.  We can also set up a meeting with any particular developer you wish to see if you have someone specific in mind. . Finally, we have a link to a property database (the only one that we know of) which has a large range of properties. We can also set up a meeting with any particular developer you wish to see if you have someone specific in mind.

Rather than make all the calls yourself, you can choose from the suggested package above, adding or deleting as you please, and we will then set up the appointments you want on the days you specify. Working with our local agents does mean that they can control the pace of the days for you, and avoid “overkill”. It can be helpful to have the arrangements planned to make sure your day is not over-committed.
