Given the complications of buying a new home, especially one in a new country, it makes sense to seek professional advice on what will be one of your largest financial commitments to date.

Our financial advisers are UK trained and qualified to ensure a high standard of advice, advice that you can rely on. We carry professional indemnity insurance for your peace of mind and we keep up to date with the many products and services on offer. Also we can help you with other professional people who operate with the same principals.

Our service is to act as a broker and place the mortgage with the best lender for you given your circumstances, in the UK there are three levels of service available from your advisers, we offer the higher level, which is to give advice and recommendation of the lender and the mortgage arrangement. If you go to a local bank you will only get the products they offer, we are linked to most of the major lenders in Spain and others from outside and therefore can go to any of them to get the best deal.
