Testimonials
Me and my husband Mark met Matt and found him extremely approachable and friendly. We looked at a few property’s and fell in love with one of them. He had listened to what we wanted in our holiday home and found one for us which was perfect.
If Matt hadn’t helped us with our daunting task we never would have found the right property – he helped us with every aspect from start to finish and become a great friend. I’d recommend him to anyone wanting to buy their dream property abroad.
Love, Nicola. x

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.

I first approached ‘Homes Overseas’ in mid 2017 enquiring about a house Villamartin. I had a very informative conversation with Jane who explained the process of buying in Spain and how they worked as a company.
I decided at the time that we would wait until after Christmas to look again so we could raise some more funds, but things changed and after speaking with Jane again, booked a trip in mid November.
I was met at the airport by Matt who then took me to my hotel ready for the next day.
Matt picked me up in the morning and gave me a very comprehensive tour of the coast from los alcazares up to Punta Prima, showing me lots of lovely towns I never knew existed, this lasted the whole day. I can’t stress enough how much this helped in making my decision the following day, the places I thought I wanted to be turned out to be totally wrong.
The following day we looked at a number of properties and up and down the coast and finally found our dream house.
We completed on the 29th of December with no hassle at all, Matt drove me to Murcia to the notary, to sign forms, to furniture shops, even to the odd restaurant!
Matt was so helpful and in my opinion went over and above to make our buying experience as smooth as possible.
My wife and I can’t thank Matt and his team enough for all they have done for us, and I truly believe we found the best agents in Costa Blanca.
