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.

I remember telling VIVA at the outset that even we didn’t know exactly what we wanted, but they never once gave up on us. And then one day they phoned to say they were sure they’d found us exactly what we were looking for. The moment we saw Al Lago, we knew our search was over and that we’d found the property we’d been dreaming of back in New York!

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.

We are the owners of a property which we purchased through VIVA in Riviera del Sol. Throughout the whole transaction we have been treated extremely well by all your team and the legal people your company put us in touch with. I have to say that VIVA made the whole process stress-free. While a lot of companies talk about after-sales service, VIVA really delivers. It is not often you find this in a company and I really believe this is VIVA’s ace card. We are delighted with our property and are now advising all our family and friends that if they are going to purchase a property to contact yourselves.

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.

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.

VIVA's representative was brilliant. She really understood our needs and when we saw the Alhaurín Golf development, we knew she'd found the right place for us - the golf course was an added bonus!

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.

I have recently purchased a property in Benalmádena and would like to take this opportunity to thank VIVA for all the help you gave in ensuring the process went as smoothly as possible. I've been more than impressed with the professional and friendly service I received from everyone at VIVA. We were guided through the process and the team was always there to help with any queries we had, no matter how minor. We will be planning another purchase later on this year, and we will definitely be contacting VIVA again.

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).
