Testimonials

December 2010

I want to thank you Steve and Dawn for all your help in finding us a home in Spain. We could never have done this on our own when its not like what we are used to in our homecountry Sweden and we cant speak Spanish, so you informed us and helped us through the bureaucracy, and all things that you have to have knowledge about, like the NIE number and so on. The most important for us was that you recommended us to have a solicitor checking everything up, and for us, it was very important because if we hadnt had that help from the solicitor investigating the property, it could have cost us a lot in the future. You are calm, helpful and reliable and we know that we always can contact you if we have any questions in this, for us, new country, so we strongly recommend you to anyone who want to buy a property in Spain. I will also say to anyone who read this: if we didnt understand some words in english, both Steve and Dawns english is very easy to understand, and they always explain and are very tolerant. So do not hesitate to contact Steve and Dawn if you want to look at properties. They take you on an adventure in property finding. And we could never dream of finding a property like ours. We love the property and Javea.

Warm regards from Ewa & Johan, December 2010

Dear Steve and Dawn.

I am writing to thank you for providing a brilliant property buying service. I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a property to contact you. Javea casas makes the whole process easy and stress free. I liked the way they are honest and down to earth and don't try and pressure you like some estate agents would. Steve organised everything for us , the viewing schedule , the solicitor and NIE numbers. He really was able to get in tune with what we wanted and found us a beautiful villa which we are now the proud owners of. Also he has continued to help us, he found us a builder and a plumber. We are really greatfull for all the help and support they have shown us.

Hi Steve.

Many thanks for the grand tour around the villas at Javea. It would have been an ardous task without your help and guidance, and again for that we all thank you. Please let us have the valuations on the two villas, and kindly check on the 'double' plot situation. We elected not to tour Valencia, but spent sunday morning by the pool catching the glorious autumn sun, how different when we got home! Sorry about the unexpected phone call while I presume you were 'Up the Montgo', but I selected a repeat call to the last number, which was Peter, but the phone selected you??!! Looking foward to hearing from you and of course meeting up with you at the time of our next visit.

Best wishes from all of us, Arthur & Janet Barnham.

Javea Casas were recommended to us, and we have no hesitation in doing the same for other property searchers. We were highly impressed with their level of service, both during and after purchase, which is second to none. Steve's patience was at a premium with us, on our numerous viewing days. No high pressure to buy. Steve believes that you will know 'your property' when you see it. It has to be perfect for you. Steve and Dawn have a joint wealth of knowledge of properties, areas and the buying process and this is willingly shared, to aid your search for your next home. The house buying process has proved to be a double success for us. A new home and new friends too. Thanks guys.

Dear Steve and Dawn,

Pauline and I just want to thank you for everything you have done for us during the purchase of our new home. You have absorbed all the pressures normally experienced when moving house and made the move trouble free for us. Your commitment, helpfulness and local knowledge has been impeccable. There are lots of companies in Spain who pressure potential buyers feeding off their emotions and naivety, we are delighted retrospectively that we decided to go with Javea Casas. We got the feeling right from the start that you were very concerned that we made the right choice of property and our happiness was more important than just making a sale. Furthermore, we feel that we have not only found the ideal home, we have found two new valuable friends.

My partner and I had never purchased an overseas property before, so Steve was a huge help. He showed us lots of different properties and introduced us to a local lawyer and tradesman. More than that we felt we could trust him, a plain speaking Englishman that we felt we could do business with.

Thinking about buying in Spain but worried about where to start? Property purchase in Spain is not difficult but it is different to the UK and there are a number of things you need to know. When we were looking for our first property we were introduced to Steve Nott of Javea Casas. Having read all the negative press about pushy agents working for commission we were worried we would be pushed into something we didn't want. our worries were completely unfounded. Steve works in conjunction with a number of local estate agents and, after discussing your requirements, will arrange a viewing schedule. What surprised us was that Steve offers no opinion unless asked. He put us under absolutely no pressure to buy any particular property and offered helpful, sound advice. When we decided to buy he guided us through the legal and financial process, "held our hands" all the way and helped us with our 1001 questions. He has become a good friend and just helped us to purchase a third property. If you need more information about him please just ask us. Happy hunting!

We found Javea Casas on the internet and we decided to give them a call. We were very naive in understanding what it would entail finding our dream home. Steve made the whole viewing process simple and stress free by helping us to surf for properties on the internet with only the reputable estate agents, that Steve has worked with for many years, before we arrived in Spain. He set up all the viewing appointments and came with us on all of them. This was invaluable, as we don't know how we would ever have found most of the properties, if we had done this on our own. He gave us a lot of really helpful free advice about mortgages and the Spanish laws during our visits and although we had bought all the law books and had done our homework beforehand, we soon realised there is no substitute for taking advice from someone who has already purchased properties time and time again in the region. We viewed approx 45 properties and at no time did we feel pressured to buy or that we were becoming an inconvenience. His service was totally free if charge to us at all times. His knowledge of the whole region, helped us immensely to find a home that fitted our list of requirements, far quicker than we would have done on our own and he didn't stop there, once we had moved in, he continued to be very helpful in passing on referrals for plumbers, electricians and builders. Steve and his wife Dawn are a valuable asset as experienced property advisors. They take a real pride in settling people in a region that they quiet clearly love, and this really shows in the pride they take in their work, when they help you to find your new home.

Dear Steve,

Now that we are the proud owners of a LOVELY apartment in sunny Spain, we would like to thank you so very much for all the help and advice you so willlingly passed on to us. We really wouldn't have managed without you, especially your help with the language barrier, your suggestions with regard to solicitors, your help with our setting up bank accounts etc., etc. and of course, once it had all gone through, your help with regard to our furnishing the apartment. Also thank you for introducing us to Michele and Steve!!. Also the fact that you were able to let us stay in your apartment during our various visits to Spain made everything so much easier for us, together with you driving us here, there and everywhere - how would we have managed without you!!!. You have also been kind enough to introduce us to many helpful people. I suppose our purchase wasn't too long-winded, although at times it seemed so very complicated to us, your calm, laid-back manner together with your experience always helped. Once again Steve, thank you and we will have that curry next time we're over!
