The Costa del Luz - The Coast of Light - is in the province of Huelva which has many lovely properties for setting out on an adventure in Spain. It is a real pleasure to live among the Spanish people who are always eager to make friends and to be helpful. We live in a lovely woodland area and enjoy the countryside whilst having really good access to the coast and many national park areas.

The advice to rent in an area first is a good one particularly if you need work or schools but if like us you are retired and you want to enjoy a real Spanish experience then you would best be advised to 'dip your toe in the water ' first to ensure where you live meets all of your criteria for selecting somewhere to live.

We have been here over 8 years and have never regret a minute of it although we now need to return to the UK because of family needs. We have a beautiful villa and holiday bungalow and enjoy visitors every year and we will miss all of this and the many friends we have made here. It is an adventure we will treasure.

Good luck with your search but do not forget to come to our Huelva province before you make your final decision.

Hi Steve We were approached by email by this group as we are selling our property and after an exchange of emails getting to understand what exactly they did we decided to ask them som questions as follows.

Thank you for information which we are digesting and assessing. Some immediate questions spring to mind as follows:-

First do you have anyone who has used you to sell their property who would talk to us about their experience?

How busy is your site and do you monitor the traffic on to your site?

Are you a registered company?

Are you covered by any association or organisation that can qualify your offer and contents of your services.

How do you obtain information, photographs and video about our property?

Who visits our site to assess the value of our property?

How do you manage the transactions and legal arrangements for any deals that are made?

Can we manage the legal arrangements through our own solicitor.

How do you deal with the cash transactions?

Please let us know your procedures and management of any arrangement we might make with you.

We had no reply from them regarding these questions and no further contact??

Having received from them previously a long explaination of what they claim to do for the £250 fee and commission and the management of our sale looked to good to be true. You know what they say under these circumstances!
