Having spent the best part of a year travelling between England and Spain in search of a place where we felt comfortable enough to put down roots, we were becoming a little cynical about property agents and developers and their tactics. We had traveled a fair distance in Spain and invested a lot of valuable time during our search from north of Alicante all the way down to San Javier and the Costa Calida.

After each trip we were a little more disappointed that our criteria for a new place to call home were not met. We were, nonetheless, convinced that Spain is the place for us and that our dream location must exist there somewhere.

In seeking out that little unspoiled Spanish haven that we yearned for, we cast our net further inland and were fortunate to come across Spanish Residence who introduced us to the delights of Calasparra and the north Murcia region

“We’ll meet you!”

“We’ll guide you!”

“We’ll find you a place to stay!”

We’ll find you wonderful properties to view!”

“We won’t put you under any pressure to buy!”

“We just want you to come and visit Calasparra because we know you’ll fall in love with it!”

Does all of that sound familiar? It did to us! We had heard it all before. But, what do you know? Spanish Residence was exactly right! In all respects!

We arrived at Alicante airport in the “wee small hours” of Sunday morning after a delay of about three hours in our flight from Bristol. We were met by Kevin and Jason from Spanish Residence who, despite the late hour, were remarkably friendly, helpful and full of life. They guided us to a “country house” on the edge of Calasparra that they had arranged for us to rent and made sure we were settled in for what remained of the night. We arranged to call them the following day and arrange to meet up again.

When we arose in the morning and looked out upon our view, we were suddenly less tired. Breakfast on the porch surrounded by olive trees, looking out over a beautiful valley, with a backdrop of gentle hills, we instantly felt that we had fallen upon the sort of Spain we were so keenly looking for.

Although Calasparra is very Spanish and you rarely hear a word of English spoken, the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming that you feel right at home and amongst friends. After a couple of visits there, we felt as though we knew half of the population of the town. Everyone spoke. Everyone smiled. No one was in any hurry to get any-where. A perfectly relaxing ambience. And, of course, the weather was wonderful.

Next day Spanish Residence showed us around some re-sale properties we had asked to visit and introduced us to the site of the new urbanisation of Coto Rinales that we had been intrigued by. We were provided with all of the details we needed and plenty of good advice. It was all a great experience. And, as promised, there was no hard sell. In fact, the only pressure we faced was fitting in all of the invitations we received to dine out and meet people.

When it came time to go home we were very sad to have to leave but determined that we would return just as soon as we could to renew our friendship with Calasparra and the Spanish Residence “family”. We have put our mark on a plot at Coto Rinales and are already counting the days to when we can be there permanently to enjoy a great new life. We will certainly return very soon to catch up with Kevin and Jason and their family and friends in Calasparra. Once you have had the experience there is no way you can fail to want to go right back.

We have nothing but praise for Spanish Residence. They treated us royally as though it was a matter of course and they kept all of their promises. And the area around the town of Calasparra is everything that we have been searching for.

Highly recommended !!

Chris and I would like to thank you and all at Spanish Residence for the help and kindness shown to us when we were searching for our dream 'place in the sun' It was a real pleasure dealing with you. There was no pressure whatsoever and you all went to a great deal of trouble to show us the surrounding countryside places of interest and local facilities before there was any mention of property for sale.

You kindly spent the whole day showing us property and we could have left with no pressure to make any sort of decision. We did make the decision to buy and the sale itself went very smoothly with all the help we could ask for. You even ferried us the our solicitors office. Our special thanks to Pam at the B & B - we are looking forward to living in beautiful Calasparra.

"We had a terrible few days with other companies, but our faith has been restored as the Spanish Residence guy was an absolute sweetie. He showed us several properties, which were all within our price range and matched our criteria"

"Our experience was far less painful than I first believed. Yeah sure, we had to do some ground work, but these people worked tirelessly to help us find our ideal holiday home
We are now in the process of moving permanently to Spain - and we will be recommending all our friends to contact these people as well"

"I am looking for a townhouse and contacted Spanish Residence who made a special effort to find the type of property I wanted. All I can say is thanks Spanish Residence - top job!"
Mrs Karen Hart - Brentwood

"We are in the process of moving permanently to the Costa Calida - Spanish Residence are the friendliest people I have dealt with"
Mr R Cheron - Collier Row

We would like to thank all at Spanish Residence for helping us through the minefield of buying a house in Spain, or should l say our dream home in Spain. Nothing was a problem with them, their patience and understanding of our needs was second nature, they are with you from viewing to completion, and having had some unpleasant dealings with other property dealers in Spain it was like a breath of fresh air to deal with them.

I must also add, there was no pressure selling in any way, on the contrary we felt more like one of the family.

We would recommend Spanish Residence to anybody who wants to purchase a hassle free Spanish Residence.

Buenos Dias Jason, Kevin and All,

We had a really pleasant stay with you and just as you promised, there was no hard or pressured selling, just a friendly one to one basis, the tour of the area was very helpful and informative, (Especially where to get the best fantamnas and lomas con potatoes!), if we had any problems we knew that we could approach either yourself or Kevin (Which we did..... frequently) and the both of you went out of your way to help.
You're quite right about the area of Calasparra and Coto Rinales.. it is truly beautiful and the people are just lovely, Say "Hola" to Juan, Pedro and all for us!, we just cant wait to return, trouble is now that we're back in England, we're still in Spanish time and everything is manana.

Adios

Dear All,

Thank you for all your kindnesses and support throughout our viewing of property and the after sales help given to my husband and I on our recent visit to Spain. It was such a pleasure.
When we arrived in Spain we did not know what to expect and we were met with a cheery smile and laid back attitude by all of you.

The area we chose to stay in was shown to us by yourself along with properties and the thing that impressed us both was there was no hard sell which I had expected. We had come to Spain in the belief that we would have a Time-share approach making up your mind there and then, which for many is scary, and we would certainly not have taken the plunge if this had been the case.

The Bed and Breakfast was lovely and so laid back we really felt like part of the family if not at least very good friends.

Our night out together to a local restaurant was lovely, meeting the local residents including the Mayor made us feel that leaving our friends and family in Scotland would be made easier by the fact we felt so at home and look forward to being a part of the local community.

Kind regards,
Margaret & Lewie (Mackay)
