Testimonials
I cannot recommend Homes Overseas enough! Matt worked tirelessly to find us our ideal property in Spain and it took a while as I am quite fussy!! We now have a fantastic holiday home to enjoy. Matt organised everything to do with the legal side of the purchase and has some great contacts to get things done! He made us feel at ease throughout the whole process and kept us informed all the way through. It was so easy with Matt’s help, of course!

Thank you Matt for helping us find our dream home and for making my dream of 30 years or more come to fruition.
I know I drowned you in emails, properties and texts but at no time did you complain. Every property we sent you, you did your research, obtained keys and shown us round all the properties we wanted to see.
You also shown us additional properties which you thought may suit our needs.
From the minute you picked us up, to our return journey to the airport, you never left our side. Nothing was too much trouble.
You gave us a great insight into the whole of the coast, driving us to places that were beautiful. Showing us what we thought were too far away, were easily accessible and all within 20 minutes of a car or bus journey. Our first day was spent entirely seeing places of interest which you willingly drove to all day to ensure no place had been left that we couldn’t get to under our own steam.
The second day we viewed almost 20 properties and by the end of the day we had found our perfect house.
Our third day was spent opening a bank account, a solicitors appointment and the notary. All of this, through your contacts, was seamless and everything completed in that one day. Scary but exciting at the same time.
The whole of our experience from start to finish was hugely enjoyable thanks to all the hard work you had put in before our visit, during our visit and when we got home. We also managed to fit in a few drinks and lunches along the way.
The aftersales service you have offered once we have completed on the purchase is also extremely helpful to us both. Offering to take us to furniture places so we can furnish our property on our first trip back to pick up our keys again makes the whole process a simple and stress free journey.
We can’t wait for our next trip back to our new home in September.
Thank you Matt for being the perfect choice in realising our dreams. You will be our friend and a permanent fixture in our memories for a lifetime.
Love from Anne & Gary

From the first telephone contact to the final purchase of our properties we cannot fault Matt Austin and his team. From the very beginning we were reassured and advised by Jane who has been our phone contact until we arrived in Spain. Jane is very personable and efficient and put us at ease with every step.
Matt contacted us before our visit to ascertain our exact needs and then arranged property visits accordingly ( a difficult task as we thought we wanted the North Costa Blanca but actually preferred the south!!). Because of our change of plan a day after we arrived Matt had the difficult task of completely changing all our viewings and arranging more in the South, not that we are difficult! At no time were we aware of the work this took as Matt was always helpful, professional and friendly. His knowledge of the areas in all aspects whether it be legal assistance, services, restaurants, shopping, leisure activities etc was extensive and he spent a great deal of time with us away from the property search to help us get to know the area and allay any fears.
We bought a new build which was perfect and we revisited with Matt several times and he even introduced us to the builder. We have also bought a holiday rental which is also perfect for our needs. Matt continues to work on our behalf whilst we are back in England keeping the plates spinning. Our dealings with Matt and his team have been absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend them. We will be friends for life and can call on him for any help we need going forward. First class.
