Reviews from our customers
All members of Second Home Andalusia daily work with great pleasure on fulfilling the needs of our customers in the Axarquia region of Andalusia. During the years we already helped many people in searching, finding and finally living in their dream house. Of course we are proud of that and have asked our customers to share their experiences with you as who can better explain how Team Second Home Andalusia works as our customers themselves?
A GOOD YEAR!
Admittedly borrowed from the great film with Russel Crowe, highly recommended for anyone who has or is looking for a home abroad. What a super year 2024 is! If you've been dreaming of a house in Spain since childhood and in 2024 you get to put your signature to the purchase contract of a house in Vélez-Málaga, then you can talk about a good year.
A dream can come true
A few years ago, we came up with the idea of buying a house in Spain. We searched on the internet and by chance came across the site of Second Home Andalusia where we read a lot of information and good reviews. We already knew a few cities in Andalusia, but we had not yet visited the area east of Málaga and were very curious about it. So we booked a cottage in La Axarquía, in Canillas de Aceituno which we found to be so cosy and we thought how nice it would be if we could also find such a place for ourselves.
Casa Limonero, our jewel in the Axarquía
For some time, we had been dreaming of our own place abroad. During a family holiday in Andalusia in autumn 2021, we warmed to Spain. The relaxed atmosphere, the climate, the delicious food appealed to us. Our eye fell on the Axarquía region because of its tranquillity, beautiful nature, friendly people and great weather. Upon returning home, we looked online at the possibilities and ended up at Second Home Andalusia. This seemed almost too good to be true; people who could arrange the whole process from search to purchase and then maintenance and rental for us from their own experience. We were immediately excited.
A 5-star service from start to finish
A friend nearby is better than a brother far away. This is how the sales process of my house in Magiaza Campo in Riogordo began.
Through Peter and Marina of Finca Gordo, I was introduced to Martin, Caroline and Malcolm of Second Home Andalusia. After an 18-year relationship and a divorce just behind me, there I was with a beautiful house and a very nice garden in the campo of Magiaza in Riogordo. Far too big for someone living there alone.
From Madrid to the picturesque white village of Sedella
Two years ago, I began to consider changing my lifestyle completely in the big city of Madrid, where I worked as a creative/artist in various cultural activities, interior design and visual merchandiser in different fashion companies. Precisely my work brought me to the Costa del Sol to Málaga.
our little paradise in Canillas de albaida
Beginning 2023, I saw a post on Facebook about Second Home Andalusia. That appealed to me and I sent a message. The very same day I received a response from Martin de Vries. He suggested a quick phone call. Without any expectations, I started talking to Martin and immediately there was a click and trust. We decided to go ahead with them and we haven't regretted that for a moment.
My perfect holiday home in Cómpeta
Early this year, I decided to take the plunge on a dream I’ve had for many years, to own my little piece of Andalucía. Having stumbled across the website of Second Home Andalusia offering people help to find and purchase Spanish properties, I found myself in the more than capable hands of Caroline and Malcolm.
A successful sale
Having had my properties on the market for a number of years with zero success we decided to switch to asking Caroline and Malcolm from Second Home Andalusia, based in Sedella for some help.
Our slice of Andalusia in pueblo blanco Sedella
Over the past few years, I have found that the Belgian dark winter months have an increasingly harsh effect on my mood. But after doing a job at the last World Cup in Quatar, the contrast between the sunny desert weather and the wet cold Belgian weather was too much. I decided to investigate whether a place in the south of Spain was a viable option and, by chance, through the Second Home Andalusia website, ended up in the village of Sedella.
My own 'Beach Club' in Torrox Costa
For a long time I had a dream: if only I could one day buy an apartment on the beach in sunny Andalusia.... By the end of last year I had gathered the money and the guts, and a phone call to Marita and Jan from Second Home Andalusia was the next step to discuss with them what it should look like and where it should be located. We sent some houses, places, thoughts back and forth, a wish list came up and in March I went to see an apartment with Martin.
