Hondon Villas Reviews… Thank you.

Sharon Buckley : May 2018
Maureen and her team have always been brilliant! We’ve rented a number of properties over the years through Hondon Villas and it’s our dream/ambition to eventually buy or build our dream villa.

Maureen and her team have listened to our “must have/not” criteria and have shown great patience with us as our needs have changed. Indeed over the years I like to think of Mo has our friend and then our estate agent!

So, if you want an estate agent that puts the needs of clients first don’t hesitate to put your trust in Hondon Villas, you won’t go wrong!

Jane de Longa : May 2018
Such excellent professional service . And always with a smile!
We would not have found our beautiful home if it had not been for Maureen. We can’t thank her and her team enough for the pre, during and after sales service we received. We would highly recommend Hondon Villas Estate Agent to anyone looking to buy in the Hondon Valley!

Duncan Pattison : May 2018
We bought our house with the help of the amazing Mo, the owner of Hondon Villas, three years ago. Mo listened to our needs and found us the perfect property.

We had viewed numerous properties with other agents but as soon as we met Mo we knew we only wanted to deal with her. Her wealth of experience and knowledge of the industry and the area was apparent as was her determination to find the ideal property.

What we have found since is that her after sales commitment goes above and beyond anything we would ever have imagined. I would highly recommend Hondon Villas when buying or selling a property in Spain.

We Love “Place In The Sun”

Who is your favourite A Place In The Sun presenter? Laura was recently in the area and Jasmine came to the area last year. We think they are all great but our all-time favourite is Amanda Lamb.

So how many of you were seduced and convinced to make the dream move abroad by programs like A Place In The Sun? We were and many British clients we encounter often talk of TV programs like this being a key factor to ignite their passion to live in Spain.

There has been nearly 2000 A Place in the Sun TV programmes made and broadcast in the UK over the last 18 years, with over half of these made about Spanish property. Of course, daytime TV repeats these episodes many times. But clients tell us they love watching it and it does help them in their quest for a Spanish property.

As featured on TV!

And you’ll remember that APITS was recently in the Hondon area and have been before. Jane and Nigel recently bought a B&B through Hondon Villas, were featured in another Channel 4 TV series about moving abroad.

That program and the spin-offs or clones are an integral part of the UK/Spanish property market. So we love it and long may it continue.

Spanish Property Growth: Up & Away!

Interesting fact from the Place in the Sun Live 2018 …
88% of people attending this premier exhibition only started their property search after the 2016 EU Referendum “Brexit”.

Spanish Property Market

Whilst nowhere near the crazy days of the Spanish Property Boom .. the indicators are that Spain is still popular with UK property buyers’, even post-Brexit.

From Hondón Villas view point, apart from a two months post Brexit scaremongering, the local market is as strong if not better.

  • The AIPP have reported:
    A strong recovery in 2017 with sales of about 15,000 Spanish properties sold to the British.
  • British buyer market worth £2.8 billion a year to Spain
  • Brits are back with better Q1 2018 sales,14% higher than Q1 2017.
  • Brits are now paying an average €1,628 per square metre in Spain – the highest rate since early 2013.
    (Source: Spanish Notary Records)

Also sales of Spanish property to British residents appearing to have come at the expense of other countries, like Turkey and those in North Africa, also indicating that many British people are bringing-forward their purchase before Brexit, 2019, in order to (perhaps) secure greater property rights in those countries.

And the indicators are growth this year 2018 and beyond if EU / World Trade has the same stability.

AIPP Membership because Standards Matter

We practise the AIPP StandardsHondón Villas were the first AIPP registered ESTATE AGENT in the HONDON VALLEY! Joining the AIPP pledges our commitment to uphold professional values, helps attract more discerning clients and networking with like-minded business partners.

The AIPP (Assoc’ of International Property Professionals) is an independent. non-profit making industry body aiming to improve the sales and purchase of property and real estate services. Membership is fee based to ensure only committed parties apply and to pay for the extensive features and benefits the AIPP offer.

Their website is here www.aipp.org.uk . They are also on Facebook and have a regular blog. They are active all year round to protect the consumer and help advise the industry (Agents, Developers, Lawyers, Media, Financial Services) to an better international property transaction and service level.

Buyng in Spain? A Free Guide from the AIPOBuying in Spain? Get a FREE BUYER’S GUIDE from the AIPP sister organisation… it’s a great place to start.

Hondón Villas have been verified members of this organisation for 4 years. In a nutshell they help promote and improve the real estate services required by overseas property providers, buyers and sellers. They publish a code of conduct on their site. Anyone can read about it and indeed complain if the conduct is poor. The AIPP will investigate and in worse cases can revoke someone’s membership.

Here is a networking video of the AIPP during a recent “Place in the Sun” exhibition in London. Yep the AIPP is alive and kicking and it’s members are an enthusiastic lot…

Hondón Villas gained membership (here is our AIPP page) for a few reasons and benefits. Firstly it’s what we strive for anyway : “professionalism” and to ensure the consumer gets a good reliable and honest service. In fact we strive to go beyond the AIPP guidelines. Also the AIPP are independent and non-profit making. Being independent helps protect both sides of the property process.

They run a tight ship in London HQ, publish guides and organise international networking events. They publish accounts and expenses for members to scrutinise. The AIPP are helpful in disputes and advice to all parties. They have legal eagles if we need them and are an established and respected organisation since 2006.

We benefit from that badge and membership. The fee is well worth the benefits and helps pay for the dedicated staff, work, materials and volunteers involved. An international organisation with over 350 members is not run on a shoe string and has to be paid for. Hondón Villas and many other agents are happy to invest the joining fee as a measure of our commitment to service quality and to show you the consumer we care about the service we provide.

The AIPP website has a list of members and openly publishes it’s policies. If you care about service and want to know what an agent should be doing for you then be our guest…. check out the AIPP against any other badge an agent might be wearing. You’ll find they cannot match up to the AIPP standards, materials, system and work ethic. Believe us, we checked already.

Choose Hondón’s Local Real Estate

Forgive us for blowing our own trumpet but did you know…

We womn the Business of the Year!Hondón Villas, unknown to us, were nominated and voted for by our clients for the “Business of the Year” 2015 as part of the annual “Pride of Spain” awards by the Costa Blanca People.

The “Pride of Spain” awards ceremony was a great night out and many clients came to see us WIN a nice trophy, a pleasant accolade to our work ethic.

Maureen Cook, Business Owner

Maureen Cook has managed many Real Estate offices in the UK and Spain winning sales & service awards galore! As the top selling female agent for Med Sea Plc she achieved an unheard of 70%+ conversion for Inspection Trip clients on the Costa Blanca South, sales worth many millions of Euros.

Maureen has been an agent pretty much all her working life, very few local agents, if any are even trained, less had the experience. She has 30+ years experience with the likes of the biggest UK agents: Halifax, YourMove, Birstow Eves, Manning & Staintons and more… meaning she is trained to a corporate level of service. She herself has appointed and trained 100’s of staff over the years who have also gone on to be successful agents. It’s a pedigree she is proud of.

Hondon Valley Property Agent

She prides herself on her people skills, a friendly no-nonsense personality and helping people from all walks of life and nationalities to get that dream house. In over 30+ years she has never pressured a single person to buy a house that was not suitable for them. With a relentless hunger for helping people from the minute she meets them and beyond the sale process, she can be counted on for support as a service provider. Many clients become friends and happily recommend her services. Repeat business through word-of-mouth is testament to her hard work here in Hondón.

Investment & the Lowest Agent Fees in Hondón

Choose us, as we re-invest. Hondón Villas have invested in the last 8+ years, 1000’s € in the local community, in people, various offices, multi-level marketing and equipment. We employ local people and pay their taxes, pay rent, buy cars, mobiles, etc which helps facilitate the local economy. Many other agents cannot or will not do that?

Because of this continual working expense and investment we have the cheapest fee for Hondón area property sales. Many other agents here without the same overheads are charging you far too much to make far to a big fat profit when working from home or a car!

Hondon Real Estate Office

Always Improving, Always Expanding

And expansion or improvement is never far from Maureen’s mind. We have neede bigger premises three times already in Frailes. And indeed we just announced we will be opening a second office in the area – no other local agent here has done that before either. So we take the risk and plough money back into the Hondón community.

So can we ask and encourage you to choose us as a local agent. There simply is no-one else in the Hondon area with that expertise, passion or knowledge for property or the area, even ones claiming to be international experts, trained, selling for years or making out they are bigger than they really are.

Hard work is how we got this far from scratch.

So, whilst our numerous staff probably cannot sell every house, be assured we will try our very hardest in a professional and trustful way.

If you can, and if you have enjoyed the service recommend us, rate us, review us as Hondon needs an honest hard-working team in Real Estate. Without you we can’t do the job we love! We hope to be here in the Hondón Valley for years to come…

We believe in the future of Hondón Real Estate, we are here to stay, re-invest, help the community and think we can claim to very good at what we do, indeed top agent in the area for sales and service. We already have plans to extend our service into the next 5 years at least … God willing, the Brexit confusion, and the Spanish economy will not stop us.

Thank you for reading if you got this far.  Love & happiness from the Hondón Villas team.

Footnote: Avoid confusion. We are not “Hondon Valley Homes” nor do we collaborate with Steven Bromley, the owner.  We have two real offices in the area you can visit. Please ensure you call our telephone numbers and visit the correct website. www.
