I simply cannot recommend Sergio and Debbie at Estates in the Sun highly enough.
We were on holiday in June this year when, Ian and I decided to purchase a property. We had several estate agents take us around properties but nothing was what we had asked for and they were very biased as to the choices of property developments they showed us.
However, Sergio picked us up on the Thursday morning and showed us some beautiful properties, he was on the phone finding more to suit us, when he met someone else who told him about the property we went to see next….wow! It was perfect, we paid our reserve there and then.
Sergio took us for coffee where we met our Lawyer Oscar, who explained the legalities etc. Sergio then picked us up on the Friday morning and we went to the Notary Offices. He even took us out for lunch!
We left Spain and feeling anxious we contacted Debbie, who has been an absolute Godsend! The aftercare we have received is superb, nothing has been a problem, she liaised between our Lawyer and the Vendor, explaining each step to us, to reassure us that all was in order.
At times our Vendors were a little difficult, resulting in me thinking I was losing my mind, I really do not know what I would have done without Debbie.
Thank you for looking after us so well.

After 12 months of research we have recently completed on our beautiful apartment in La Cala de Mijas.
In the early stages of our search we utilised several estate agents. Wefound some of these agents to be unreliable, unwilling to listen to our preferences,and some who were clearly driven by potential commission on their favoured developments – we even had one agent who had trouble identifying where a particular property for sale was located.
We quickly concluded that Debbie, of Estates in the Sun, could provide us with the expert assistance we needed. It was evident we had at last found a professional with a vast knowledge of the market, also someone who listened to our detailed requirements. We found Debbie to be extremely customer focussed and always in contact to answer our many queries via email or phone – as a business owner I place great emphasis on professional customer service.
Having such confidence in an agent enabled us to fly out to Spain and view our shortlist of properties in one hit. Richard promptly collected us from our hotel and spent many hours driving us around the different areas allowing us to gain a real feel of each area. We found Richard to be very amicable, professional, and offer sound advice on everyday life in Spain.
Buying abroad can seem adaunting experience,but I can unequivocally recommend Estates in the Sun who were truly fantastic and ‘held our hand’ throughout the whole process.

From their response to our very vague initial online search through to completion, and beyond, Estates in the Sun have been superb. Debbie’s tireless research and Sergio’s extreme patience showing us around, made finding the right area and then the right property much easier than we expected. Sergio continuing to negotiate the price down to a figure below what we were happy to settle at was very unexpected!
We cannot recommend Estates in the Sun highly enough.
The only trouble is that they will surely collect too many friends!

Rik & Ella
We’d like to very highly recommend Sergio, Richard and Debbie of Estates in the Sun. The preparation for our house buying trip has been very well facilitated by Debbie at the office.
They helped us narrowing down our wish to buy “something between Malaga and Cadiz” to the Marbella area during the preparatory visit of Ella in April. Both Sergio and Richard went out of their way to show Ella all sorts of possible housing in a professional and entertaining way. The target having been set, Debbie got to work and found us the most fantastic house in Marbella for when Rik visited in May. We are extremely happy with Estates in the Sun, they are highly professional, customer oriented. After sales services are excellent as well, providing names of good service people for aircon, open fireplaces and handymen etc. or like Debbie going after our NIE number we forgot to bring to the internet people.
Our relationship became such that we now actually consider them our friends in Spain, and will certainly keep in touch with the three of them.
Peter & Ester.
Sergio and Debbie of Estates in the Sun are excellent in arranging viewings of properties and meeting up; or collecting you from your accommodation, and taking you out to viewings. They have an extensive range of properties all over the Costa del Sol, and there is never any pressure put on you, and you can request multiple viewings if required. They can recommend a financial adviser and a lawyer, both of whom I’ve met, and used to purchase my apartment without any concern or worry. Sergio will also take you to a furniture installation company and introduce you to the owner to help you with the furniture requirements needed for your apartment / purchase.
Nothing is ever a problem or too much to ask of Sergio and Debbie, and e-mails and phone calls are replied to; and answered promptly. We were even referred to a currency exchange company when we purchased our apartment, who offer you a better rate than anyone else, and you can be sure that you are not loosing out on the rate.
The after sales service is second to none. Debbie keeps you informed of progress of the completion of sale; collection of keys from the solicitors; and any help you need. I am based in the UK, and all this has been made possible by Sergio and Debbie, without any travel between the UK and Spain.
I personally would recommend Estates in the Sun for all your interests in purchasing a property in Spain, and highly advise anyone to use the services of Sergio and Debbie in your pursuit to purchase a property.
Regards,
Peter bought in Marbella
Bernard & Sharon
Having made the decision to purchase a property in the Benahavis area in southern Spain we approached a number of agents to provide details and an itinerary in preparation for a short exploratory visit in early May. In terms of response by far the most professional was that provided by Estates in the Sun. On the first morning we were met by Sergio who over the next 1.5 days produced a range of properties which increasingly matched our requirements. What we quickly realised was that he was not only professional, knowledgeable, and attentive but was also listening to our feedback and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. So much so that by the end of day 2 we had found the property we wanted in La Quinta, an offer was made and accepted and legal support arranged. This was on the Saturday and on the following Monday papers had been signed, notary sorted and arrangements were well under way.
In the 2 months since both Sergio and Debbie have provided continued advice and support which we have been appreciative of as we have had to do the purchase from the Uk. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and this has certainly reduced the level of stress and angst that you can get with such a purchase. We would certainly recommend them to any future purchasers.

We would highly recommend Estates in the Sun to anyone looking to purchase a property on the Costa del Sol. They showed us many properties, were patient and considerate to our concerns and have guided us through the whole purchase process. From introducing us to a lawyer, to a supplier of furniture, etc. they were incredibly helpful. Debbie, Richard, Sergio – thank you for your excellent service. “

“We have had an excellent buying experience from Estates In The Sun. Finding the right property is just the start and Richard did just that! What most impressed us was the level of care and attention ever since from both Debbie and Richard – it doesn’t matter what the request is, its dealt with immediately and with great attention to detail. They have made the whole process extremely stress free”. John & Brenda.

In July 2012 we decided to look at the possibility of purchasing an apartment on the costa del sol. We made a number of enquiries with agents in Spain but found the service given to us from Debbie & Sergio with Estates in the Sun the most helpful. From the very first phone call from Debbie, to them arranging an inspection trip for us, their service has been excellent. The after sales service which included an introduction to furniture express (who did an excellent job furnishing our apartment) has also been spot on. We would recommend Estates in the Sun to anyone thinking of buying in Spain.

We cannot recommend Estates in the Sun highly enough. They are much more than Estate Agents. Pre-visit Debbie was excellent in helping arranging an itinerary for us by phone and email of properties we had found ourselves as well as suggestions made based on our requirements.
Viewing was carried out by Sergio whose local knowledge and understanding of the market and area is second to none. Throughout the process, advice was given on all aspects of the purchase by both in a friendly, non-pushy and professional way. Quite simply these guys really know their stuff and have a genuine interest in finding the property that is right for the client as opposed to achieving a quick sale.
This is also highlighted in the pride they have in providing an Aftersales Package for postal collection, key keeping etc. A very personal service and as I say much more than an Estate Agency.

Mr & Mrs Grisewood
My name is Jimmy Grisewood and I live in Navan, county Meath, Ireland. Last year, 2012, my wife and I availed of a very attractive offer of a 3 night stay in a top hotel in the Costa del Sol with a view to seeing some properties available in our price range.
We were picked up at Malaga airport and for the next 3 days we were given excellent personal service and visits to approximately 20 different properties. Our driver and guide, Richard, went out of his way on so many occasions to make us, not only feel very welcome to the area in general, but also to introduce us to several interesting spots along the Costa. He was extremely generous with his time. We were viewing properties late into the evenings and both of us felt that he was working for us even beyond the call of duty!
We went back to several properties and eventually decided on a beautiful 2 bedroomed apartment at Valle Romano Golf Club, Estepona . We came back in late Spring 2012 to finalise the deal and already have had 2 very enjoyable stays there. We were aided and assisted in every way possible by their brilliant Marketing Executive, Debbie Aspinall. When we needed to furnish the apartment and get a satellite system connected to the apartment, electrical appliances bought, etc.etc, Debbie and her company were just so kind and helpful. We were also referred to a furnishing company, www.furnitureexpressspain.com and were delighted with their prices and service also.
We have been very fortunate to have been involved with www.estatesinthesun.com and have absolutely no reservations whatsoever in recommending them to anyone interested in viewing a range of properties with the intention of purchasing a home in the sun.

We have recently purchased a new apartment in La Cala de Mijas and are very grateful for the help and ongoing support provided by Sergio and Debbie at Estates in the Sun. From the initial inspection visit through to completion; from appointment of the lawyer, arrangement of finance and the purchase and intallation of furniture, Sergio and Debbie were always on hand with professional and timely advice. We would have no hesitation in using Estates in the Sun when we are ready to buy our next property in Spain…

We would like to thank Sergio and Debbie for their excellent support in helping us buy the property we wanted in Costa del Sol. Right from the start, Debbie organised our visit efficiently and when in Spain Sergio’s extensive local knowledge came into its own in guiding us to the property we wanted at a price we could afford. After sales service was also excellent; we were introduced to a local solicitor who as well as managing the legalities of buying our property also helped us to become established (registration, local account etc) and furniture express who furnished our apartment just how we wanted it. From start to completion on the property and beyond we have found the support of Estates in the Sun to be first class and we would recommend their service if you are looking to buy a property in Spain.

We have recently purchased a new property in Spain, through Estates in the Sun, and we just have to say how delighted we are.
From our first enquiry through to completion this has been a really smoothe transaction.
The inspection visit was organised perfectly by Debbie, everything was laid on and Sergio gave his time freely, with the patience of a saint, taking us to view various properties. His knowledge of the area and understanding of exactly what we were looking for made things so much easier, no time was wasted viewing properties that were out of our price range, he got it spot on!
At no time were we ever under any pressure to purchase.
Debbie has been there for us every step of the way with her help and kindness and Sergio is just a true gentleman. This company has gone that extra mile with their friendly, welcoming approach, even introducing us to the Solicitor, Furniture company etc and doing all that could be done to make things simple. We are so pleased that we found Estates in the Sun, we can thoroughly recommend them.
