The VIVA staff were very helpful. After giving the team a list of our requirements, we were taken on a personalised property tour of the area. We described our dream home and VIVA showed us some great properties. VIVA helped us every step of the way. The team is always on-hand and even offered an after-sales service to help with furnishing our new apartment.

By dealing with an agent like VIVA, we always had someone that was on hand when we needed them. If I was to give any advice to prospective buyers, it would be to make sure you have an estate agent that you can use if you need things to be done remotely.

We arranged a trip out to the Costa del Sol where one of VIVA's representatives took us out to see about six places. She understood our needs brilliantly and the final apartment we visited suited us down to the ground. The process of buying property in Spain can be surprisingly straightforward, particularly with the help of an English-speaking company like VIVA. Having VIVA's support has been crucial. We're very happy.

VIVA gave me all the relevant information about currency exchange and transfer companies in the area. All the transactions went without a hitch. Overall everything progressed reasonably smoothly, which when buying from 3,000 miles away is really what you want and need. This was certainly due to all the good advice and contacts we were given along the way.

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 (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.

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.

The Costa del Sol is perfect because it's an all-year-round destination that we can reach cheaply from the UK. We've done our holidaying all over the world and now we just want somewhere we can reach quickly, that's a home from home. We went out with VIVA and ended up buying on the first day.

We attended a Spanish property exhibition in Birmingham and were fortunate enough to find VIVA. From that moment, through to our final purchase, we received a level of service and courtesy second to none. Thanks to VIVA's superb customer service and professionalism, we bought two properties in Spain and subsequently discovered that there was a great need for English greeting cards in Spain - our company was born!

As you know we recently bought a property in Floresta Sur and would like to say what a fantastic part your representative played in the process. He went over and above what was expected and nothing was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending VIVA, and this is as a result of his excellent customer service.
