Barbara spent two fun filled and very informative days opening our eyes to the do´s and don´ts of investing in your area.
Steve your web presence, skills and encyclopaedic knowledge of all aspects of investment in Spain filled the gaps in our confidence.
Thank you both for securing our futures"

"I am just writing to say how pleased we are with the service we have received from Costa del Sol Property Index. Right from the initial e-mail enquiry through to the sale itself, we have never felt pressured, but have always felt that any questions we had could easily be answered.
We also feel that Barbara went out of her way to make sure that any doubts we had were fully allayed, to the extent of meeting us at all hours so we could visualize our new apartment when it is finally built. We will be sure to recommend you to all of our friends."
On completion: "Thank you very much for all your help along the line, we will certainly
recommend your company to anyone looking within the area.

"When I was thinking of buying a place in the sun, I started looking on the Internet to contact estate agents in the area, the Costa del Sol Property Index was the most professional and always quickest in the response.
We agreed to meet when I flew down, Barbara Dunkel picked me up and drove me around for 2-3 days and showed me a lot of properties.
It became very evident that Barbara Dunkel knew the market and the area, It also became very evident that she had very good contacts, which made me feel very sure that I got the best deals available.
When and after I made my decision Barbara continued to help me a lot with regards to many questions that arose during that period.
It’s my outmost pleasure to give her company this recommendation."
Olav Maaland

"We first came across Steve and Barbara by accessing their website. I contacted them initially by e-mail explaining that we were interested in purchasing property in the Costa del Sol. They immediately responded by answering certain questions I had, and we arranged to meet on our next visit.
We were most impressed by the professionalism of Steve and Barbara and their impartial and helpful advice. They freely helped us inspect various properties and provided valuable advice. In the event we found a property and they were kind enough to inspect it on our behalf and again provide advice. We will always remember their kindness and patience and would recommend them to anyone seeking to purchase in that area."

All the arrangements that you set up worked very smoothly and we have every confidence in your company’s commitment to the highest standards.
Also we would like to tell you how impressed we were with the personal skill and expertise of your associate, Augusto Busca Perez, he did all that was necessary to inform our decision and was extremely considerate in showing us what was available in the area. We enjoyed his company and valued his advice very much."

"A friendly and extremely knowledgeable firm, The Costa del Sol Property Index S.L.
could not have been more helpful. They provided a short list of suitable properties to view with respect to size and location of property within our price bracket, and Barbara spent the day with us touring the properties and answering all our questions.
Steve was always on hand via e-mail or phone once we returned home, with help for arranging a mortgage, dealing with Spanish Banks, hiring English speaking lawyers and for any incidental queries. We have also availed of their recommendations for property management and car hire for our clients, their service is so very comprehensive.
We have no hesitation in recommending the services of this firm to anybody considering buying property on the Costa del Sol."

"I think that between them, Barbara and Steve provide and excellent and very informed service, both directly and through their excellent web site, concerning property investments, and also providing contacts in all areas including efficient independent legal representatives, developers, banks and lenders. I completely trust and value their advice and judgement, made all the more acceptable because there is no hard sell or gimmicky sales spiel.
I am very happy with the choice of investment I made through their company, knowing that they directed me through all the proper channels and also making sure all my finances were, and are, secure. I will not hesitate to act through their company when making future investments, and would highly recommend them to anybody who is serious about a property investment on the Costa del Sol."
