Spanish Property Sales

Sally and Anthony were exceptional in the service they provided. They really listened to our needs, preferences and desires for our new adventure and we didnt feel pressured by them to make a decision.

We purchased the villa of our dreams and made future friends.
They have also provided a fantastic post purchase support system, sharing contacts for local services, manging hand overs of keys to trades and service provicers and generally held our hand throughout the process. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Anthony and Sally can only be described as unique; their knowledge of the Moraira property market is excellent and also their advice on searching for the perfect home and then onto completion of the purchase has been outstanding.
Their “stable” of contacts, who also assisted in the purchase, were similarly reliable and professional.
When you are a first time buyer in Spain, and feeling your way through the buying process, you cannot go wrong with using Anthony and Sally to assist with, at times, a very daunting experience. Their speed of response to all queries and keeping the purchase on track was key to us buying our dream holiday home.
When you are “diving into the deep end” you need Anthony and Sally to do some life saving!
We would without hesitation recommend them.

First of all, I’d like to say that in the short time we’ve known them, Sally and Anthony have shown themselves to be lovely friendly and welcoming people.

We stumbled across Spanish Property Sales when we were looking for property and finding it very difficult. Sally called us to talk about what we were after and to give us some advice and start to look for suitable properties. She would give us quick feedback on properties we found ourselves, and we would do the same on ones she presented. This enabled us to create a focussed and informed shortlist.

When we got to Moraira to view properties, Anthony looked after us, taking us around for the viewings and pointing things out that we wouldn’t have noticed. This was an invaluable service, and as they were independent of the estate agents, we had confidence in the information provided. Once we found our property, Sally and Anthony continued to work hard for us making sure things went as smoothly as possible. They both have a wealth of information and are very keen to pass this on.

With their considerable help, we successfully completed our purchase and are confident that Sally and Anthony will be there for us in the future should we need them. Thank You! They are thoroughly recommended.

We used Sally and Anthony to purchase our property in Moraira.
From the very first contact it was clear that they would provide a bespoke service catering for our needs. We were listened to, we were provided with local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. Where there was debate they offered impartial advice and when we needed technical knowledge they found the answers. Even now, Sally and Anthony are still supporting us as we move in.
Buying property is a serious business and Anthony and Sally took the worry out of it. They were easy to chat to, relaxed yet professional, informed and knowledgeable. They allowed us to enjoy house hunting!
We wouldn’t have found our villa without them and we couldn’t have done it without them.

We contacted Sally and Anthony of Spanish Property Sales to help us to find a property in Moraira. Prior to this point we had been searching for somewhere to live on the Costa Blanca for several years without success.

My first contact with Sally was very good in that she quickly understood our criteria and appropriately selected those properties that would be most suitable. She had access to the majority of houses for sale in our chosen area and had good contacts with other agents.

When we met Anthony for our initial viewings we were immediately impressed by his knowledge of the area and quickly felt able to trust his judgement. From that point we committed to engaging Anthony and Sally as our sole agents.

With every viewing Anthony was quick to spot the pros and cons, not only of the property itself, but of the surrounding area. We really felt that he was on our side and genuinely wanted to find us something that we loved. We never felt any pressure and appreciated his relaxed and informed style.

Having found a property Anthony and Sally guided us carefully through the process and introduced us to a competent lawyer. They coped with a multitude of questions and last minute doubts. We felt completely supported.

Apart from the house purchase they have helped us to integrate into the community and we have thoroughly enjoyed their company.

We can't thank them enough for being so dedicated to our search and to ensuring that we have a good experience. They are truly lovely people who go beyond the call of duty and we very much look forward to developing our friendship.

We can highly recommend them!

After two visits to Moraira we decided that the area would be perfect for our retirement home and a close family friend recommended that we approach Anthony and Sally to help us select the right property.

Our initial contact was with Sally and her enthusiasm and warm nature meant that we felt at ease immediately as we started a process of selecting properties to view with Anthony. However, before our planned visit, looking at the properties Sally had recommended, we noticed a villa that was exactly where we wanted to live and seemed to fit our requirement perfectly. It was also our opinion that the villa would sell quickly and probably before our planned visit, so we told Sally that we wanted to put an offer in for it.

Far from telling us it would be mad to do such a thing, Sally reacted positively and Anthony immediately arranged to view the property. When Anthony rang us with his findings, we were very impressed with his thoroughness in describing the property, good and bad points were highlighted equally. Subsequently, when we decided to put an offer in on the property, Anthony was extremely helpful and instrumental in securing it for us.

We have no hesitation in recommending Spanish Property Sales to anyone looking to buy in the area, Sally and Anthony are totally impartial with their advice and always put the interests of the buyer first, they also go beyond your expectations.

We came across Anthony and Sally by chance, how lucky were we!. We visited Moraira during February & early March 2020 viewing properties with Anthony's assistance, he soon realised the type of property we were after and the location. viewing with him was relaxed but he does have a compass which he produces when the selling agents tell the property face south when it actually faces north west!!.
We decided on a property and with Sally's help managed to get the property at a price that suited our budget, we reserved on 10th March and returned to the UK. We all know what happened next Covid - 19.
.Well that really set the cat amongst the pigeons what happens now??
After many calls / E mails between UK and Spain Sally's support, calm reasoning and professionalism shone through and we finally completed on 26th August. There is absolutely no doubt without their help we would not be the owners of a small part of Spain.

Anthony and Sally were fantastic. Great communications and help locating suitable properties. They were able to show us any property listed with any agent which took all of the stress away from dealing with several agents. We were able to draw up and refine a short-list with Sally’s help before we went to Moraira for viewings.
Visits were all arranged for us and we were taken round to look at them all which went very smoothly. Anthony’s advice whilst visiting each property helped us to consider things we had not previously thought of and informed our decisions as to whether to purchase or not.
Their support did not end when we decided to go ahead with a purchase and they were very helpful in organising things with the Estate agent, lawyer and Notary as well as obtaining a bank account and our NIE.
Thank you both.

The Process of Buying A Second Home Made Simple

Working with Anthony and Sally has been a true pleasure.
In Oct 2020 we made the huge step into unknown waters starting the process of purchasing our dream villa in Moraira. Unable to travel to Spain due to COVID restrictions this made the already daunting task a worry ! However Anthony and Sally came into their own and excelled with their expertise and network of associates to remove these worries.
Everyone one that was recommended proved to be the perfect partner and did not let us or them down. Not being able to view the villa and knowing we had now entered into a purchase contract Anthony made sure all our requests where carried out.From providing videos of the villa and surrounding areas detailed condition review of the villa which re-assured us we made the right decision.
Considering the present climate we completed from start to finish in 4 months which we can honestly say was seamless and almost stress free. We never expected this level of professionalism and most importantly nothing being a problem and someone at the end of a phone when needed.
Even on completion day which unfortunately we could not be there to collect keys. Anthony stepped up again with first class after sales arrangements to collect keys and to make sure our villa is looked after until we can finally travel .
Absolutely fantastic people to deal with which we would recommend to anyone looking to take this journey.

A genuine first class service thank you both so much for all your efforts.

Anthony and Sally helped us find a wonderful property on the outskirts of Moraira, something that was not on our radar. They helped us through every step of the purchasing process and put us in touch with an excellent local lawyer to deal with all the legals. There were no hidden surprises and out of all the properties I've purchased over the years, both at home and abroad, this was probably the smoothest and least stressful transaction. We collected the keys two week's ago and couldn't be happier!

After 2 years of looking at various websites and visiting Moraira at different times we were lucky enough to come across Anthony & Sally. They have been with us every step of the way as we have finally found and bought our dream home in the sun. Sally took the time to understand what we wanted, do the research with all the other agents, distill a list and plan the visits. Anthony then accompanied us as we did our viewings, made sure we understood all the relevant pros & cons of each property and gave us more insight into the areas. This was all done without any pressure and in a very supportive way. Nothing was too much trouble and no question was too stupid.
Then when we found ‘the one’ they helped us through the buying process from making an offer, finding a solicitor and even organising cleaners after completion.
Now we are looking to make some changes to the villa guess who we’ve turned to. They have supplied us with names of tradespeople, architect & even some builders who we can choose from. They are still giving us as much or as little support as we want.
I can honestly say that whilst it’s still daunting at taking the huge step of buying abroad we have had more support from Anthony & Sally than we’ve ever had when buying in the UK. So if you’re thinking of taking the plunge and wondering where to start in my opinion you can’t go wrong with this team.
Our journey continues with Anthony & Sally and if it continues in the way it has started I have no doubt we will truly be living our dream in the sun thanks to them.

What can I say about Anthony & Sally?

They have been wonderful helping us to achieve our dream. They are friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the area. We viewed lots of villas over two visits to Moraira. One that we were particularly interested in, Anthony pointed out that due to the huge trees surrounding the villa we would never get any sun. So he always kept our feet on the ground and pointed out the down sides of each property as well as the advantages of each property. In July we thought we had found our ideal villa and negotiated a great price with the help of Anthony. He then introduced us to a lawyer who found out that there were problems with the land, so were advised not to proceed with the purchase.

We were devastated but thankfully we had found out early on, as we could have been stuck with an unsaleable property in the future. We revisited Moraira again in October, not expecting to get anything as good as the earlier villa but Anthony and Sally came good again! We are thrilled to bits with our new acquisition and we are looking forward to many happy years in our new villa. So all we can say is don’t bother with other estate agents just use Spanish property Sales!

After such a successful purchase of a small lock up and go in Moraira via Anthony and Sally, I embarked on a journey of buying something bigger and with specific requirements, being that this will be my last house purchase. Throughout I felt supported and patiently listened to. Now I have the sea view I particularly wanted in the location I requested. I cannot recommend Anthony and Sally highly enough. They provide a rare union of head and heart and it is this that sets them apart from the rest.
Thank you Anthony and Sally.

We were really worried about the whole process of selling up in the UK, and moving lock, stock and barrel to the Costa Blanca. Luckily we came across Anthony and Sally Bloom.
We moved over in November and Sally found us a great, cheap apartment to rent in the centre of Moraira. This was our base whilst we searched for our forever home.
We looked at about 40 villas, and Sally found us the perfect villa in Moraira. Anthony ferried us to and from villas, offering invaluable advice along the way. Nothing was too much trouble for Anthony and Sally, despite me being extremely fussy.
The Blooms advised us on everything from residency, Gestors, Solicitors, gardeners and builders. Everything they advised was accurate and the correct choice. I carried our 100's of hours of online research but still found the Blooms advice to be correct. Anthony even loaned me some tools to carry out work on our villa.
The service the Blooms offer is truly bespoke and tailored to the clients needs. This is at no cost to the buyer, they claim part of the vendors fees.
We really would have struggled with the daunting process of moving to Spain, especially with Brexit looming, without Anthony and Sally.
We will forever be in their debt.

Antony and Caroline Barroso

We are very grateful to Anthony and Sally for their assistance in finding our new home in Moraira. From drawing up shortlists of potential properties, taking us round to view them, providing helpful advice to eventually, after showing us a number of properties, steering us towards the villa we ended up purchasing. Their help didn't stop there, their local knowledge and connections which they were happy to share, also proved very helpful. Very happy to recommend Spanish Property Sales if you want help in finding your "Place in the Sun".

For anyone looking to buy property in Moraira or Javea.
We started looking for a place in Spain about 3 years ago, initially in the Oliva/Gandia region. We visited that area once with an agent and then broadened our search to get a better idea of what was available.
We found Spanish Property Sales (or Anthony and Sally) on the web about a year afterwards. Sally explained that unlike the other agents, they were property finders, who work on behalf of the buyer and not the vendor. So we explained what we were looking for (or what we though we were looking for!) and Sally put together an initial list of properties to view.
We then organised a viewing trip and when we arrived in Spain, Anthony took over. He picked us up in the morning from where we were staying and took us to around a dozen or so carefully selected properties over that first weekend.
We didn’t really know much of the area at first, but soon got the feel for the various parts (Partidas) whilst touring around with Anthony. We repeated the process of building a shortlist and viewing properties another 2 or 3 times over the next year and got a better idea of what we wanted, and fixed more closely on our preferred area (Moraira).
After one of the weekends, we put an offer in on a bungalow, but negotiations didn’t conclude in a sale, as the vendor did not accept our revised offer.
This is where Anthony and Sally’s advice was crucial. They advised us that they thought our offer was more than reasonable and advised us to keep on looking. Anthony was optimistic he would find us something. We really appreciated the fact that we were never put under any pressure to buy with Anthony and Sally, despite the fact that we must have put a few extra miles on Anthony’s car during our various trips.
Sure enough, a few months and one viewing trip later, Sally found us the villa that we now own. I’m glad the first sale didn’t go through, as what we have now is better in just about every way.

Dear Anthony and Sally,

We are truly grateful for all the help and advice you gave us leading up to our purchasing this wonderful villa.
No matter how long we spent on the internet we had to get here to see the real thing. We were impressed from the start with Sally's warmth and attention to detail; she responded quickly to questions, however trivial. When we arrived for a look around, there was Anthony full of smiles and brimming with sound advice. We were so grateful that he stuck to our wishlist. The difference with using Spanish Property Sales is that you are the only client whereas the Estate Agents are working for the vendor too. Anthony put it in a nutshell when he told us that his job was to ensure we understood the compromises and to avoid any that would be detrimental to the future desirability and value of the property. Anthony took us all around the area so we could get a better picture of where the properties were in relation to the town. Sally worked furiously organising the logistics of viewings and agents with their keys. It is very impressive how well the agents relate so well to them.
There was never any hard sell just good advice and, best of all, Anthony drove the final bargain getting us a great deal!

Thanks for all you have done for us, see you in Moraira.

Andy and Sharon

Dear Sally & Anthony,

We started the journey to find our dream property in the Costa Blanca researching online in late Autumn 2015. This quickly became a daunting project as we had never visited the area and didn’t have any contacts. We had found what looked to be a nice district around the town of Moraira and registered with a couple of estate agents, but they were only focused on their own stock. However, by a stroke of luck we had also registered with a company called Spanish Property Sales. This resulted in a phone call to our house in England, one Saturday morning from a lady called Sally, who introduced herself as one half of a husband and wife team – the proprietors of Spanish Property Sales.

She took time getting to know our circumstances and requirements giving us lots of background information about the area. She explained how she and Anthony, her husband, had spent literally years researching the Spanish Costas before choosing to settle in Moraira some 13 years previously. They offered an independent property finding service that allowed them to give totally unbiased advice which we found very appealing. There was no hard sell, no contract, just lots of excellent feedback regards the properties we were selecting on the net. We soon came to realize that we were in safe hands and abandoned any ideas of working direct with estate agents – we didn’t need anybody else.
With their help our original list of 60 properties became a shortlist of 12 and Sally reassured us that the house we wanted was there, we just had to find it.

We travelled to Moraira in March to meet them – the personal experience turned out to be even better than the on-line one. They made all the arrangements and Anthony drove us around for two and a half days visiting all the properties on our list providing non-stop commentary on the area and a completely honest review after each viewing.
We were very fortunate and found our dream home during this visit. Anthony did all the negotiating with the estate agent and then offered to give us a personal introduction to a local lawyer. There was no pressure but by then he had got to know us and realized it would be important for us to meet him before we left.

Once we returned home the support continued – they are not just a safe pair of hands but also an arm around our shoulders. They know what it’s like to feel anxious and full of trepidation – this is a massive commitment for us and involves our life savings so we have to get it right. They don’t just provide a service, they make you their friend. They want to make sure their clients enjoy living in the area of Moraira as much as they do themselves and a crucial part of this is choosing the right property and location for each individual need.

Our sale was completed with very little stress because the lawyer Sally and Anthony recommended was excellent and did a really thorough job, giving us complete peace of mind. Sally provided a comprehensive list of local businesses which allowed us to arrange important things like insurance, housekeeping, gardening, pool maintenance and internet with ease. We have every intention of continuing our friendship and to utilize their wealth of knowledge and support services to make our ongoing Spanish adventure as stress free as possible.

Thank you so much Anthony and Sally.

Mark and Jane Smith

Sally and Anthony work as a perfect team. We have had an extremely personal and totally professional service resulting in us buying our permanent home in beautiful Moraira.

It is thanks to their guidance and expertise that we now have a property we are more than delighted with and we would highly recommend their service as it is certainly not a straightforward process. Their familiarity with the area, insight and knowledge has proved to be invaluable. Nothing has been too much trouble, making the whole process much easier.
Thank you so much, a brilliant team !!

We had been talking of purchasing a property in Spain for a number of years and decided earlier this year it was time to stop talking about it and get on with it!
It's only when you look into it seriously that you realise there is potentially a lot of work involved in purchasing a property in a foreign country. We initially trawled through hundreds of estate agents websites looking for our ideal property and getting a feel for the property market. It became evident early on that we needed some professional help and we made what turned out to be the best decision we could have ever made when we contacted Anthony & Sally at Spanish Property Sales. We can honestly say from the first time we spoke with Sally & met up with Anthony we knew we were dealing with honest genuine people who had a wealth of knowledge & experience of the Spanish property market & would be putting our interests first.

We discussed our requirements & budget with Sally who gave us some really useful advice on the properties we had earmarked to view and between us compiled a list of properties we would view when we flew out to Spain. Sally contacted the local estate agents made the appointments and drew up an itinerary for us so we saw as many properties as we could in the time we were there. We met up with Anthony when we arrived in Spain and he kindly transported us around the Moraira area (which we were not familiar with) to view the properties and provide us with his expert impartial view of the properties we saw.

We were lucky enough to find the property we were looking for on our 1st visit to Moraira & Anthony entered into negotiation on our behalf with the vendors agents & secured the property for us at a heavily discounted price. Anthony & Sally have developed an extensive network of contacts in the area and introduced us to an excellent local solicitor who handled all the legal matters for us as well as a number of other companies whose services we used.

You do feel apprehensive in trusting people you have never met before but sometimes in life you have to take a risk and place trust in people and we were repaid many times over for the faith we placed in Anthony & Sally as they saved us an awful lot of wasted time and money as well as taking away all the stresses and worry in purchasing a property abroad.
We will be forever grateful to Anthony & Sally for all the assistance and support they gave us through the whole process & we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Spanish Property Sales as a company you can trust and place your faith in if you are looking to buy a property in the area.
