Our dream was to own a home in Spain, as for ten years
we didn’t enjoy staying in hotels. We preferred to stay in beautiful
houses, which gave us the idea of buying a home of our own in the
Mediterranean. Wherever we travelled we would collect information
regarding buying houses, and often spoke to the local brokers or
salesmen. However, we did encounter problems due to the language barrier
as some of them couldn’t speak English. This made it difficult for us to
understand the many Spanish rules and laws. But then, in 2001, we met
Mr. Hans Kortekaas. He invited us to visit the Mazarron Country Club. We
agreed to travel from Javea where we were on holiday, to meet him at the
Club. When we arrived, the entrance of the Country Club had still not
been finished and only approximately 30 houses had been built. Therefore,
it was very difficult to decide if this was where we wanted to live when
a further 1080 houses still needed to be built. Hans spent 3 days
showing us around the park and the area and, with his expertise and
guidance, we knew that we wanted to buy a house in this park. Our faith
in Hans grew as he never pressured us to make a quick decision. Once
back in Holland we looked at our financial situation and then went back
to the park to rent a house. We took our time choosing the spot where we
wanted our future home to be. Our dream came true. Our experience with
Hans, guiding us through the whole procedure right up to the day we got
the keys was excellent. Everything was arranged for us, and the
financial and legal aspects were correctly and clearly explained to us.
In November 2003 we got the keys to our home. Everything went perfectly
for us and it couldn’t have been any better. The streets had not yet
been asphalted, but we were notified beforehand so we knew when to
expect it. We stay around 6 months a year in the Mazarron Country Club
and the facilities in the park are growing all the time. We are just
waiting for the golf course! There are plenty of amenities to choose
from and it is up to you if you want to have contact with the neighbours.
You can socialise in the bar/restaurant and swimming pool and sometimes
a group of house-owners organise social meetings and excursions. Hans,
our life is amazing at the Mazarron Country Club. Many thanks! |
