When we made the decision to move to Spain, we spent a great deal of time researching and planning – this was to be one of the most important and life-changing decisions we had ever made.
Like most people, we read magazines, researched websites, joined online forums and groups, to try and learn as much as we could about life in Spain – both the positives and the negatives.

No family emigrates without a certain amount of trepidation and concern. Like many others, we had read in the media and seen on the television the results for those who make the move and live to regret it – the horror stories of the potential pitfalls that the wrong choices can result in.

We learned that a fantastic website and jazzy promotional material does not always represent a professional, honest company. We learned that personal recommendation is worth any amount of magazine articles or hard-sell advertising. We learned that for every good facilitating company in Spain, there are probably 100 not-so-good ones.

We also learned that if you use Parasol Networks you do not need to worry about any of the others or any of the above.

Literally from the day we first contacted them by email, before we left the UK, we were treated with the utmost professionalism, courtesy and honesty, and on our arrival in Spain, when we met up with Jane and her team, this continued and continues to this day.

Nothing was too much trouble – the thousand and one questions we seemed to have, from the most important, such as finding a good lawyer, to the most trivial, such as where do we put the rubbish if we choose this house? All were dealt with promptly, efficiently and with a warmth and friendship that made us feel completely at ease.

You will never be made to feel as if your worries or questions are trivial. If it’s important to you, it’s important to them, and the reassurance this provides is priceless.

We now have our ‘dream home’ in inland Spain, and our new life has begun in earnest. This whole daunting procedure was made so much easier and more enjoyable by Parasol Networks.

They are 100% trustworthy, something we have never said about any other company we have dealt with in either the UK or Spain, and we are pleased and happy to recommend them without reservation.

The team’s extensive knowledge of Spain, law, healthcare, education, finance – and anything else you may need to know – their fluency with the language, and above all their customer care, mean that you can have complete faith in them and complete trust in their service.

In our opinion, Parasol Networks are well named indeed – in our experience, they leave all such similar companies well and truly in the shade.
