It started with a phone call….. and ended with a beautiful villa in San Miguel de Salinas!!
Where to start? Having worked in the travel industry myself previously for 18 years I read reviews all the time and think, that’s great marketing but I wonder how true that is?
Well wonder no more about Homes Overseas, because you really do get the real deal! Outstanding from the very start right to the end….. Nothing is too much trouble – they are one in a million……………. We started our search for a home in Spain like most people do watching a place in the sun, going to Spanish exhibitions and trawling the internet for suitable homes. Having made some on-line enquires via ‘A Place in the Sun’ website, before I knew it I had what seamed like every man in Spain calling me trying to book me appointments and after a week I had lost the will to live! I was more confused than when I started. Then I had the good fortune to speak to Homes Overseas and it was at that point I decided I would only use this company to check out properties.
Best decision we ever made! They picked us up in resort and took us to all the properties we wanted to view – there was no hidden agenda, they weren’t pushy and we felt under no pressure! They even took us round the beaches and the local area so we could get a feel for the place.
Everything was explained fully about purchasing a property, taxes, fees and the process.
We had a fantastic experience with Homes Overseas and we trust them completely! True diamonds that will look after you from start to finish, wont pressure you, are honest and will tell it like it is. The service you get will be second to none and we have already recommended Homes Overseas to our friends who are looking to buy. Well done to the team at Homes Overseas – truly OUTSTANDING.

I’ve been asked to write a short reference regarding my recent experiences with Homes Overseas with regard to recent purchase of my new Spanish Property
That’s easy: “simply BRILLIANT”!
I would say I’d definitely 100% recommend them to others but it’s too late – I already have! & now two of my good friends are also lucky enough to be living their dream in Spain.
Their knowledge of the Market & Area’s they are operating in is without question second to none
Matt & his team work tirelessly on your behalf to take the stress away & make the whole experience memorable (with plenty of banter along the way!)
Most people are either to0 daunted by the prospect of moving to a new country or completely underestimate how traumatic the process can be – how to decide what area to chose, what amount to spend, location to beach, amenities etc etc
Furthermore, I’m sure the majority of us initially all want the same criteria: “2-3 beds, 2bathrooms, near the sea, near to amenities, not overlooked blah blah…”
Homes Overseas sift through all this standard “wish list” criteria to establish exactly what YOU want – this involves prioritising the best area & location for YOU. Only when this has been established will they look at the right property for you in the right area.
Whilst there is zero hard sell during the whole process, they are very good at helping you understand what is best for you & I can assure you from personal experience it isn’t always what you’d initially imagined!
They are with you all the way, from your initial online searching, through to the completion of your property & beyond. 100% commitment whether it is a holiday home you are looking for or like us a new home in the sun.
Take the chance & change your life’s for the better – I would definitely recommend them “AGAIN”!

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!
