Nigel - Devon UK
As a couple who had no experience of purchasing property in Spain we can only thank Diane, Andy and the Andalucian Property team.
From starting our search from scratch to buying our new house we have been met with only kindness, great advice and expertise.
All recommendations made by Diane - The best locations to search (for our budget), the english speaking Solicitors we could choose (thanks Jorge), local laws etc were spot on and we can only state that everything was explained patiently, thoroughly & professionally.
Even after our purchase went through Diane has stayed in touch and available & her ongoing advice has been invaluable and welcome.
We have no hesitation in recommending Andalucian Property Sales to anyone wishing to buy a home in Spain. Thanks for everything.
Ste & Julie
A few words to thank you Diane for selling my property. I really appreciate all your hard work and professionalism.
Highly recommend you to sellers or buyers.
Yvonne
I’d like to say a big thank you to Diane Heston and her team for her help with the recent sale of my house in Cuevas de San Marcos. I was originally unsure if I wanted to sell and Diane didn’t pressure me at all. It was about 6 months after my initial thoughts that I again contacted Diane and she set the wheels in motion.. Diane is very friendly, and contactable. No question too stupid! I highly recommend if you’re either buying or selling.. many thanks.
Tina Phelps
We viewed several properties with Diane Heston and she is a very honest and open person to deal with. We like to thank her for all the information she provided and her support during completion of the purchase of the property. We look forward to moving in.
Susanne & Peter
Just a quick note to say we thank you so much will all the help for the sale of our house because without your assistance I doubt it would have gone well. Wishing you all the best with your business and thanks again
Keith and Sue Moralada
Jenny and I are really grateful to you for the great job you did in marketing the house and the additional care and attention you took to ensure the sale concluded
Peter and Jenny
I would just like to say a huge thank you to Diane Heston of Andalucian Property Sales and her excellent team in helping us find my recent holiday home in Andalucia.
Nothing was too much trouble from start to finish Diane went above and beyond to help us. Jorge the English speaking lawyer that she suggested, without pressure, was excellent and his due diligence on the paperwork of my new home was excellent and I would highly recommend him too.
The whole transaction was seamless and if I had any concerns Diane was always available to offer advice and support - she even helped us set up a bank account giving up her morning to help us as were not good with the language yet.
So if your looking to buy in Andalucia get in touch with Diane Heston thanks again so much and see you soon

Thank you Diane, you went above and beyond. You guided us to a smooth sale despite our problems and when the purchase of our new house went west you were still there sending knowledgeable advice and contact details to people who might help us find a property in our chosen area, even on a Sunday. We couldn't ask for more. If only every agent in Spain shared your professionalism and honesty...
John and Marie Wilson
We rang Diane from a pub in Soho and within 8 months we’d got the house. The seller needed to do some works to the house before he sold it and whenever someone needed a prod Diane made sure things moved really quickly and kept us informed every step of the way. She made the process so easy and smooth, always with a friendly smile and a can-do attitude, obviously from many years of experience. She has always gone the extra mile whatever we have thrown at her and has a wealth of local knowledge which is invaluable. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Diane Heston and her company Andalucian Property Sales as they are fantastic - knowledgeable, professional, expedient and they take the time to really understand what you’re looking for. Thank you so much for getting us our house that we can move to very soon.
Cath and Eden - Villar Bajo, Martos, Jaen
We can’t thank Diane Heston of Andalucian Property Sales enough for all her help in us purchasing our little holiday bolthole in Alcaudete. We had been in touch for several weeks before we came over to view and I was so disappointed to see that 2 of the houses that I was really keen on had sold before we got there. Undeterred we met up with her and she showed us some good selections for our budget. I didn’t really want to see the last one - pictures had been taken by another agent and it just did not look appealing AT ALL.
Appearances can be deceptive however and as soon as I saw it in the street I knew it was almost a formality that that we would buy it! We decided to have a second viewing and this is where Diane really came into her own - my husband had a nasty trip which meant we had to go to the local hospital - she took us there, got him fixed up, then we went to the house again and did the deal! The sale has gone smoothly and was signed today in our absence. We have no hesitation in recommending her for her warmth, knowledge and unhurried and non pushy style.
Gillian and Andy Barclay, Alcaudete
Mike and I would just like to express our gratitude to you for selling our house in such a short time and in such a professional manner.
We met you a couple of months back to discuss the sale of Casa Codorniz and told you how important it was for us to sell quickly. You suggested a couple of improvements ie a bit of painting outside and a couple of other tweaks to make the house more saleable.
You came back promptly and took good pics and video of the house and the beautiful views.
The house was put on the market by the next day and you promised to only send people who were in a position to buy.
The couple who came to view were cash buyers and from putting in their offer to full completion was only a couple of weeks! You were with us every step of the way.
Thank you so much for everything! We can now begin living our lives to the full once again. I will definitely recommend you to our friends in Spain
Ali and Mike Cole
As a real estate professional, Diane Heston conducts her work thoroughly and efficiently throughout the entire enquiry, negotiation, and purchase process.
Diane was a dependable and knowledgeable agent who helped me navigate the purchasing process seamlessly, in a part of Spain I wasn’t overly familiar with. Diane’s diligence allowed me to have minimal worries during the process - Diane accompanied me to the Notary for the closing of the property and explained all steps concisely and accurately.
I have no hesitation in recommending Diane Heston and Andalucian Property Sales for either purchasing or listing your property.
Will - Rute
We’ve always had a dream of owning our home in Spain and now we can finally days it’s come true. We had spent hours and hours researching areas and looking for our dream home. We were lucky enough to find Diane Heston who owns the fabulous company Andalucian Property Sales. The initial correspondence was great and then we met Diane in Spain and we just knew she was going to help us find our dream home. She was so knowledgeable and talked us through the whole buying process. We found our home and our offer was accepted but Diane didn’t leave us there she was always there if we needed advice or had a wobble. Finally completion day arrived and we collected our keys in October 2022. Diane is still there over 6 months later helping when needed. If you are considering purchasing a home in Spain then we would not hesitate in recommending Andalucian Property Sales and Diane Heston. If we could give it 6 stars we would or 11 out of 10 it’s a first class service all round.
Julie & Adrian Mair- Alcala la Real
We had been looking to buy a property in andalucia for about six months before we met Diane Heston at Andalucian Property Sales. Let’s just say we had found and lost many houses however I knew when I met her she was the one to find our new home and she was, she found us an absolute cracker.
She has been amazing throughout the process of our purchase. From taking us around the local areas with great knowledge of the villages and traditions to finding the right property for us.
As usual with country houses there were a few paperwork issues to be resolved however Diane was great she maintained communication with all parties until we were ready to complete.
I can not rate this company highly enough.
All there is left to say is thank you so much.
Laurie - Castillo De Locubin
There are no words to really express how outstanding Diane and her Company are!
We bought a house with her a few years ago, after viewing quite a few.
Diane never lost patience or her professional goal to find us the right house for us.
We are used to UK agents, who seem mostly to only be interested in making a sale, no matter if it's right place for individual, so it was a real eye opener to work with someone who saw more than the £££ signs.
We recently sold the property, mainly due to Schengen rules and again didn't hesitate to use Diane's services.
There has been no drop in her professional manner or helpfulness. She didn't let us lose faith that the right buyer would come along and was right!
Her advice over the whole process and our wee panics made a huge difference.
If you want a 101% service, friendly, kind, helpful whether to buy or sell you could not find better than Diane Heston and her company.
I strongly recommend, as I say these words do not do justice.
Maggie and Andy - Rute
Dear Diane
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for the incredible job you did in helping my husband and me find and purchase our dream home in Rute, Spain. From start to finish, you were there every step of the way, guiding us through the process with professionalism, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring that we found the perfect home.
Your knowledge of the local real estate market was invaluable, and your ability to quickly understand our unique needs and preferences allowed us to find the ideal property much faster than we had anticipated. You were always available to answer our questions, provide advice, and offer guidance, making the entire experience much less stressful and much more enjoyable. Thanks to your hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now proud homeowners in beautiful Rute, Spain.
We couldn't have done it without you, and we are truly grateful for everything you did to help us achieve our dream. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in this area, and we will definitely be reaching out to you for any future real estate needs.
Thank you again for everything!
Barbara and Jason
Diane Heston at Andalucian Property Sales is very knowledgeable of the properties in today's market. She had clients lined up for our property and the second couple who saw it, bought it. The first couple wanted to also but were waiting for a mortgage.
Diane is honest and transparent in all dealings. She is even helping us to find a new home in a different region to where she is based and putting in touch with other agents. I would totally recommend her as a very likable person who immediately puts you at ease and who goes above and beyond to help in any way she can. She has become a good friend and someone you can trust completely.
Carol and Paul - Fuente Camacho
Recently sold our house with Andalucian Property Sales, Diane Heston is absolutely fantastic, she goes above and beyond and nothing is too much trouble, she’s an absolute star and would highly recommend.
Mike and Helen Anderson - Rute
We have just completed the sale of our house in Sorvilian Granada with Andalucian Property Sales, absolute amazing service, Thanks to Diane Heston and all the team, we would definitely recommend their service to anybody buying or selling a property.
Stephen and Carol.
Hi Diane
Please accept our thanks for successfully concluding the sale of our property. It was not the easiest of journeys especially with Covid causing difficulties in the property market. But your tenacity paid off in the end.
We appreciate your professional manner in dealing with the buyers, the legal team and indeed us, the sellers.
We wish you well in your future endeavors and wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to any future sellers or buyers.
Chris & Sharon Wrench
I recently sold my house with the help of Diane from Andalucian Property Sales.
Two years ago, when buying this same house, I was very happy with the personal touch that Diane has in her work. She listens very well to your wishes and possibilities, also presents you with out of the box possibilities (you probably know how stuck one can be on an idea and therefore missing opportunities).
So this time I was on the other side. This time I was selling. The house was sold very quickly.
I can honestly say that, after having been on both sides, I feel that Diane is more like a mediator. In the whole process she is fair and honest to the buyer as well as the seller, telling them more or less what to expect and what not, equally protecting both.
In the process (two years ago, as well as recently) she keeps communicating. I never had to chase her to get answers. Usually she presented me with answers to questions I did not yet have!
Her enthusiasm for both parties in the whole of the process is what makes you feel welcome. On top of that she knows her stuff and can also provide third parties for legal help and insurance..
Don't think twice: she's the best!
Anna Houben
Where do we begin?
Almost 6 months ago, we found our ideal holiday/retirement home with Diane Heston through Andalucian Property Sales. Having finally completed at the end of March 2022, Diane was with us every step of the way, either in or out of office hours, keeping us informed of anything we needed to ask her. We feel we have gained a good friend, as well as a brilliant estate agent who goes above and beyond her actual job description, to make you feel at ease with the whole process. This has all been new to us, and we can't thank her, and the team at Andalucian Property enough, for all the help given to us during this time.
We would definitely recommend you to anyone who is thinking of buying a property in Spain.
Thank You very much once again,
Debra & Mark, Priego de Cordoba
I recently purchased a property through Andalucian property sales,from my initial contact with Diane Heston to the day of signing the process was made to be incredibly easy.
I made contact with Diane with an enquiry about a country property she had on her website but from her initial response we realised that the property was not suitable for our needs,and so our journey began,we had some very specific and challenging needs in our dream property and Diane understood and embraced the challenge and within days we had a list of several properties that met all our requirements,we came over visited the properties and picked our dream home,it was at this point that became slightly overwhelmed by the next step of making the purchase as you hear so many horror stories,but we honestly had nothing to worry about,Diane put us in touch with a English speaking lawyer,who backed up everything that Diane had told us and guided us painlessly through the whole process, he was even there on the day we got our keys.
I can't recommend Andalucian property sales highly enough and would like to thank Diane for making our dreams come true.
Simon Charles
I just wanted to let you know that mum received her money from the sale of the house from Currencies this week and feels like a massive weight has been lifted from her shoulders.
I really wanted to say a big thank you for all the help you gave me in sorting it all out latterly and for securing the sale for mum in the first place. You were so kind and so lovely to deal with and I'm truly grateful for all your help.
I hope you have a lovely evening and thank you again.
Lucy
So we got in touch with Diane at Andalucian Property Sales, to arrange our first meeting during which she explained that although the market was 'flat', as a result of the travel restrictions imposed due to Covid-19, it was her view that things would improve in July/August.
We liked her straightforward approach and enthusiasm, so were comfortable instructing her to market our property, which we knew would sit in the 'top 10%' of the local pricing range and would therefore appeal to a much smaller audience of purchasers, so it would potentially take longer to find a suitable buyer.
Our house was listed on Diane's website just over a week later and we settled down to what we expected was going to be a long wait. However, after barely 3 months, she contacted us to say that she had a couple who wanted to view the house, which they did in mid-August and seven weeks later, we were all in the Notary!
It was not as uneventful as we thought it would be, due to a number of factors (including our paperwork, which needed some changes to be made) and this took valuable time and added to the stress of selling, but Diane remained optimistic throughout and retained a reassuring attitude regarding the final outcome.
We see that Diane continues to add to her growing list of 'SOLD' properties and satisfied Clients and we are happy to be included in that category - many thanks Diane!
Des Lewis - Cortijo Valero
We believe we have bought the best little bargain on the market and from putting in the offer, the process was so easy and quick, in fact easier than buying a place in England. We also had some work done at the back of the property, this was completed before we even got there by Andy of Campoconstruction.
Thanks to the great job done we are able to access our cave. We can't thank Diane and Andy enough and are enjoying being stress free in the sun. Happy days.
Donna Templeman and David Hotchkiss.
As a referral I couldn't praise Diane enough. The help and advice she gave was 2nd to none.
As you can imagine buying or selling a property in Spain can be a challenge, try doing this through a pandemic!
Diane managed to keep me (the seller) informed and updated through the whole process on the buyer's position.
If you are looking to buy or sell a property in Spain I would suggest getting in touch with Andalucian Property Sales and speaking to the lovely Diane.
Alan: July 2021 - Montefrio / Granada Property
Buying a home is a stressful time, buying a home in a global pandemic is beyond stressful or stupid? However Diane Heston at Andalucian Property sales made the whole transaction none stressful, she organised everything for us from the power of attorney with an excellent English speaking lawyer, a currency transfer company and even house insurance.
Communication is key in these types of transactions and Diane was first class in this constant updates and reassurance a true professional.
Thank you so much again Diane we are so happy with our lovely new holiday home in Spain.
We wish you continued success in your business
Ted and Joyce Milliner
Diane Heston of Andalucian property sales is a super star in my eyes what a lady, with the patience of a saint very professional but also like a friend you’ve known for years, which put me at ease as she guided me through the buying of my perfect property in Andalucia how you found it I will never know. Pulling out all the stops even in this current climate we are in to help me, Diane Heston you are the best an I will forever be great full for all you an Andalucian property sales have done to get me their I’m over the moon thank you.
Barry
Hi Diane
I'd just like to say for anyone buying their first property in Spain through you I couldn’t possibly recommend you enough from start to finish you were absolutely amazing and gave me all the help and advice we needed nothing seemed too much for you and you actually made it stress free we’re hoping to get over to our new property thanks to you fairly soon many thanks
Les and Sophie Savage, Castillo de Locubin
We are so pleased that after so much time spent looking at the many property sites on the internet I finally found Andalucian Property. Firstly we found their site so easy and open to navigate our way around. It was after finding a property that we wished to know more about that I emailed and had such a pleasant surprise of a speedy reply, this we later found to our delight is what you can expect from Diane and her team. Their customer service is always first class, even in the middle of a pandemic!
We were provided with so many suitable properties to consider, as Diane seemed to instinctively know what we were looking for in our search for our forever home.
Even when we had to postpone flights and visits to Spain due to lockdown (twice!!) Diane patiently understood and rearranged our appointments. When we finally made it over and started our inspection visits Diane was on hand, thinking of everything for both of our very full days.
When we settled on a property, Diane made the process so easy, and now four months after walking into what has become our forever home in Spain Diane has become much more a friend than 'our old realtor.'
We would not hesitate in recommending Andalucian Property Sales in your search for a home in Spain.
Roy Fisher
Andalucian Property Sales - Diane Heston
The most dedicated and professional service.
After 9 years in Spain we decided to downsize our home but wanted to maintain a standard of property for ourselves, friends and family.
After signing up with 3 Estate Agents we were most impressed with Diane and Andalucian Properties. Diane's professional approach and very pro- active commitment ensured she matched our house with a sutable buyer not only quickly but also during a difficult period. We have been so impressed with Andalucian Properties and Diane Heston that we have recommended her to friends and family. We also detailed what we wanted in a new home and we were matched with a perfect property, again very quickly.
If anyone is thinking of buying or selling in Andalucia, we would strongly recommend using Diane Heston of Andalucian Properties.
Very happy clients
John & Theresa Macpherson
We would highly recommend Diane Heston as she was with us every step of the way helping us with the purchase of our dream home in Spain. She really listened to what we wanted and found us properties to match, supported us when we had problems and, in our opinion,went above and beyond. Very knowledgeable.
Antony and Xanthe Gunn
Diane Heston at Andalucian Property Sales has been an absolute star at helping find, choose and purchase a property in Spain. This was my first venture into Spanish property and Diane did all the usual things I would have expected from an estate agent - sending details, arranging viewings, etc. But she has gone much further than that by providing local, relevant and useful advice about locations, shops, services and so on. She has been bombarded with questions from us and has responded promptly and well to every one. Even after the purchase was completed, she is still answering our questions. But above all that, Diane is a really nice person who is friendly and easy to get on with. I would 110% recommend Andalucian Property services to everyone. Fantastic!
Andy Walker - Rute
Thank you so very much for your hard work and perseverance in selling our property. You have kept us in the loop at all times and have taken a lot of stress off me in particular while Bob has been so very poorly. If I needed to discuss any issues with the sale you were always extremely prompt in getting back to me with a way to resolve the problem.
I would certainly recommend you to anyone who asked me who they should put the sale of their property with.
We sincerely hope the business goes from strength to strength going forward and just a big thank you once again
With best wishes
Bob and Lindsey Hanson - Castillo de Locubin
Diane Heston at Andalucian Property Sales was recommended to us by friends and thankfully their recommendation was fantastic. Diane seems to have good links to the best-priced properties in Spain and insider knowledge as to properties that are about to go on sale within Rute. Diane welcomed us with open arms when we met and took us to various properties all worthy of viewing. We found a property, not the one we thought we would like from the photographs and an offer was put forward and accepted. From there on we were introduced to a recommended solicitor Jorge and a currency transfer company all of which have been a pleasure to deal with. 100% recommend Andalucian Property Sales will be using them again
Jim Hunter Rute
As soon as we met Diane, she was helpful and very friendly: easy to deal with. Although we live in the UK, she always made sure we knew when viewings were arranged and she provided us with prompt and helpful feedback.
Diane has sold our house for us in this difficult time of COVID 19, in Spain and in the UK. The sale was arranged remotely and was achieved without a hitch. Thank you, Diane!
Barbara
Diane has a well deserved reputation for excellence. We had to sell urgently and she found a buyer and guided us through negotiations etc through to completion in less than 2 months. Her years of experience and many contacts made all the difference.
Thoroughly recommended.
Stuart and Alison

Ty Angie n Nigel
Prior to meeting Diane Heston of Andalucian Property Sales I had developed an extreme dislike of estate agents having already bought and sold a property in Ireland and attempted to buy another in Dublin which was the straw that broke the camels back and sent me in the direction of Spain not to mention the added bonus of sunshine and affordable property.
I’ve been looking for three years in different regions and while the estate agents were somewhat better than Ireland they were still pushy, tended not to listen and weren’t very obliging which I could have put aside if I’d found the right place but I didn’t.
Back in Ireland and back at the drawing board I came across the town of Rute which appealed to me on many different levels and along the way I found Andalucian Property Sales and Diane and from there the pain-free journey began, I think that was the beginning of October. I gave her a rough guide to what I wanted and a definite guide to what I didn’t and she responded immediately with houses within my budget for me to sift through and decide which ones to view.
Even when we were just emailing I found Diane to be very easy to get along with, friendly while being professional and I never felt like I was being picky or a pain and I’ve no doubt that I was both, she just went with the flow.
I made a rather long shortlist and went over to Rute in early November to meet Diane who no surprise really, turned out to be the nicest most obliging person I’ve ever met, she’s so professional in her job and yet so friendly, she makes it all seem so easy and with her it is and no matter the time she’s always at the end of a phone. I would strongly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in this region.
Long story short I bought my home in Rute thanks to Diane no fuss, no hassle and to make matters even easier she put me in touch with a lawyer Jorge Retana in Fuengirola who was another very professional and trustworthy person to deal with, so much so that I decided to give him POA so as to shorten the whole procedure and not have the added expense of doing it all from Ireland. This turned out to be a great decision as all was completed in a month with keys in my hand. He was so obliging that he also set up my utilities and secured my NIE for no extra cost. Diane stayed in touch with him and me throughout the whole procedure so as to help with any questions I might have had and collected the keys for me when all was finalised as I was in Ireland.
Even now she’s still helping me with life in Spain, opening bank accounts, internet, etc., so she goes above and beyond really.
Thanks a bunch Diane, you’re one in a million who is fantastic at her job, all the best for the future.
Olive Hickey
I first visited Andalucia in May 2019, looking to buy a small house in the right location. I contacted Diane Heston of Andalucian Property Sales prior to coming & gave her an idea what I was hoping to purchase. She promptly sent me a selection of properties she thought I might like & appointments to view were in place prior to my arrival. We met several times during my stay as Diane had more houses to show me - her professionalism & patience were second to none, going the extra mile to even help me set up a bank account & power of attorney for a Spanish lawyer. I fell in love with a small place by the lake in Las Casillas de Martos & went ahead with the purchase, helped all the way through the process by Diane. I have no hesitation in recommending Andalucian Property Sales - you won’t need any other real estate agent.
Thank you Diane, from the bottom of my heart.
Amanda Zayan
Would highly recommend Diane Heston from Andalucian Property Sales she was helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of our house sale, answered messages, phone calls and all enquires promptly. She also advised on the power of attorney we required and recommend a really efficient English speaking solicitor, she kept us up to date on the proceedings at all times, all in all she made the whole process stress free.
Susan and Colin Goodsell
If you are looking for your dream home in Andalucia, make Diane Heston and her team at Andalucian Property Sales your first stop. The care and attention you will receive is second to none. Diane does all she possible can to help and source properties in a most professional manner.
Thank you Diane for your patience (and to Sue in the office) and your guidance and endless support.
From start to finish you were there, for going that extra mile...thank you...and to your good husband Andy for putting up with me for an afternoon.
I wish you and your wonderful team many many more years of continued success...so folks give Diane a call you wont be sorry.
Thank you so much again
Best Wishes
Stephen Murphy
Diane Heston of Andalucian Property sales recently sold my house for me in Rute ,no drama no stress, nothing she sorted it all from start to finish.
I didn't even have to come to Spain she organised an English speaking lawyer for me and power of attorney and both kept me informed every step of the way.
Thanks again Diane I have no hesitation recommending you and your team you just made the process easy for an old boy like me!
Wish you the very best for the future you deserve it!
Barry Stuart - Great Yarmouth
Diane Heston put in so much effort to sell my house while other agents did nothing. She really does go the extra mile to help and she did everything for me. I would recommend Andalucian Property Sales to everyone
Thank you again
Julia Coward
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Diane Heston and her team at Andalucian Property Sales if your looking to buy a place in Spain. Initial contact was made via email and she unlike many other agents in the area responded quickly and professionally. Examples of properties were sent to us to look at and many had videos which made it even easier to work with her for our short list.
Diane organised accommodation for us when we came to view and even collected us there and drove us round all day at a pace that suited us ( it was over 30 degrees!)
I would said about 90% of what we saw fitted what we had asked for in our "wish list" which was great and we finally settled on the beautiful Town of Rute deep in the heart of Andalucian.
Not speaking the language, but trying to learn, we needed to open a bank account, Diane kindly took us along and helped us do this in Rute and all our utility bills were put in place so we didn't have to worry
Diane recommended an excellent lawyer ( Jorge Retana ) who we went to see and had a face to face meeting with before we left Spain he too was exceptional professional and we had no hesitation in giving him Power of attorney to act for us in the whole sales process meaning that we only needed to return to Spain to pick up our keys! We did return this weekend and Diane had no hesitation in driving over an hour to come and meet us and giving up some time on her weekend- above and beyond again.
We can not thank you enough Diane and your team and certainly will be telling all our friends and family to use you if looking for a place in the sun. Many many thanks
Liz and Brian - Rute
My husband and I would like to say what an absolute pleasure it was in our house hunt for our dream home going through Diane Heston at Andalucian Property Sales, she was so helpful and full of information, she really couldnt do enough for us. Our advice to anyone else thinking about doing it is stop thinking and just do it!! - and definitely with Diane, she helped us every step of the way without any problems and we are so excited about our lovely house
Thanks again Diane your amazing!
Helen & Mike Anderson
Well what can I say about my wonderful experience with the lovely Diane, she was so down to earth and friendly, she helped me every step of the way and still is.
I did everything from the uk and she made it a completely easy and quick process. From the excellent solicitor she recommended to getting my furniture out to Spain, I cannot thank her enough!!
Professional 5 star service and will use her again in the future when I decide to upgrade!! :)
Ursula Cowling - Rute
Diane Heston has been superb from start to finish, any worries or concerns you may have she puts your mind at rest. She is so friendly and genuine and made finding a holiday home pain free and stress free. She helps you to find the right people for you to help you to buy the property. Any questions you have any time and Diane will respond really quickly. I can’t recommend Diane enough she is amazing at her job and makes you so welcome when you go over to look at properties. Thank you so much Diane.
Scott
We totally recommend Diane Heston and the team at Andalucian Property Sales – they are amazing, helpful, friendly, give clear honest advice and make the whole process of buying a house in Spain so easy!! We cannot recommend Diane enough (Five Stars!!!)
We contacted several agents during our search. Diane really took the time to listen to us and understand our needs. We were clear to all agents we contacted that we didn’t want a property on steep hills or too far away from the amenities. In March 2019 we viewed 17 properties with three different agents. Diane was the only agent that had sourced and recommended properties that actually met our needs and budget. She didn’t waste our time showing us properties that didn’t meet the criteria we had discussed. She was also totally honest about areas of the town that are not the nicest place to live. She really cared that we got the best property for us, and wasn’t just interested in making a sale.
Diane really helped us to find and buy the property of our dreams in Martos. She accompanied us to the Notary and also recommended an excellent Lawyer/Abagado. I’ve read on so many forums that you should always find your own Lawyer, but Diane recommended Jorge Retana and he has been excellent and very thorough in explaining everything.
Within 3 weeks of viewing, we completed and the whole process was just so smooth and easy. Diane even collected us from the bus station on our first visit to our new home, sorted out the water, checked the gas and electricity and made sure that we were settled in ok. Diane kept in touch with us and gave us loads of tips and advice.
Diane is exceptionally professional and we really feel like we made our first friend in Spain.
Calvin and Russ from Wolverhampton
Just wanted to thank you for your help and guidance with the sale of our house.
Your local knowledge and practical advice has been invaluable to us, since we had no idea of paperwork required or local laws.
We particularly appreciated your assistance with access to professionals during the sale, without your contacts we would have been lost.
We would have no hesitation in referring our friends and family to you, should they be interested in buying and selling real estate in Spain.
All the best for the future.
Ana and Jose de la Peña - Martos
We recently completed on a property we bought with Diane Heston of Andalucian Property sales in Rute in the Cordoba province and can not recommend her highly enough.
The whole process was made easy by her knowledge and reassurances along with her constant communication with us once we was back in the UK. Diane also recommended to us a fantastic English speaking lawyer who acted for us for the sale and is now doing additional things for us. Nothing was too much trouble she even organised some local trades men to do some immediate works for us along with a local translator
If your looking for a pain free and smooth purchase give Diane and her team a shout!
Thanks again Roland and Amy Armstrong
We have recently bought a property in Rute, Andalucia. Diane Heston was our estate agent and made each stage of the process very easy and enjoyable.
Diane is friendly and enthusiastic while remaining professional at all times, very open about the costs and legal ins and outs involved when buying the property.
She remained in contact with us when we returned to Sheffield keeping us informed every step of the way.
A genuine pleasure meeting and working with Diane and I would recommend her agency Andalucian Property Sales without hesitation.
Carol and Dave -Sheffield
What can we say about Diane Heston and her team at Andalucian Property sales? Well she listens and is genuinely interested in you as a person and what you want. Exceptionally hardworking and patient with her clients was always there when we needed her and her communication skills from initial contact to after sales are second to none. I know with us she went above and beyond but made us feel that she was just her doing her job and for this we will always be grateful. Diane also organised a full English speaking lawyer, opened a bank account with us and even took us to a DIY shop to help us get some plumbing parts we needed!
We are so grateful and can recommend so very very highly! Thank you so much for all you have done
Linda and Dave - Rute
Just a quick note to thank Diane Heston and her team for selling my house so quickly in Castillo de Locubin it was a complete stress free transaction. Two potential buyers came and the second ones bought, no time waster etc as she works so hard before hand to ensure this does not happen.
Thanks again Diane I can highly recommend you to the good people out there, professional and hard working could not ask for more there are so many local that are not! I wish you all the very best you deserve it.
Jim Plummer
The sale of our house in Alcaudete with Diane of Andalucian Property Sales went without a hitch.
The initial survey by her was comprehensive, the video was particularly informative. Diane organised the Energy Certificate, liaised with our solicitor at all stages.
All this while we were back in the UK. Great service, no hesitation in recommending Diane and Andalucian Property Sales.
James and Lorna Laverie.
We used Diane of Andalucian Property to sell our townhouse and we had it up for sale with three agents at the same time. Diane was the agent that had the most viewings and readily gave me feedback s the the likes and dislikes of the buyers without having to be asked. She is friendly and professional and doesn't feel the need to blot any other agents names to sell a property unlike some agents in the area. Thank you Diane for keeping us informed and for your outstanding professionalism on the day of completion.
Melissa Fletcher - Castillo De Locubin
Well what can I say about Diane Heston from Andalucian property sales ? Apart from how happy we are with her services .
We purchased our house with her by our side and sadly had to sell it 11 months later to be closer to family .well Diane sold our house within 3 days to the first viewer.
You can't get more efficient than that !
I really really recommend Diane whom we now class as our "friend" thank you for all you've done over the 11 months from start to finish .
Wendy and Martyn Sabareigo - Jaen
For any of you lovely people out there wanting to buy then Diane is your go to Estate Agent and so much than that advice, guidance, referral, personal assurance and so much more - thank you Diane.

To all you lovely people out there looking for a beautiful home in Andalucia. Look no further than Andalucian Property Sales. It is an excellent service. There is absolutely nothing that Diane cannot answer, advise you on or help with. Diane understood our brief and helped us every step of the way. The process of purchasing was made swift and painless with the assistance of a recommended lawyer, who was thorough, polite and incredibly professional. What are you waiting for ? get in touch, you'll not be sorry.
Thank you so much
Lesley and Gary
Sabariego
Diane was very helpful and friendly from start to finish. She showed us properties that we had seen on the website but also asked questions to establish what we needed and showed us some properties that met these requirements. We ended up buying a property in the friendly village of Ventas Del Carrizal and Diane had patience and professionalism throughout the whole negotiation and purchase. We would definitely recommend Diane for anyone thinking of buying a property in Andalucía.
Chris
I can’t speak highly enough of all the help and support that I have received from Diane Heston whilst selling my apartment in Spain.
Every question I had (however silly) was always answered very speedily and thoroughly. If you are thinking of buying or selling in Spain I can’t recommend her highly enough. Diane will support you all the way and make your dreams come true! Thank You Diane
Emma Atkins
When we finally met up with Diane earlier this month it really was like meeting up with an old friend this was because of all the effort she had put into our business relationship, listening to us, understanding our needs and explaining things when we had concerns.
We are so delighted that we found our little part of Spain with her as we enjoyed everything about the whole process and this was down to the hard work she put in for us from day one plus her great sense of humour and professionalism!. We were delighted with the recommendation of the lawyer who we knew was fully working for us and explained everything in fine detail for us. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Diane or the team at Andalucian Property sales and all we can say is if your looking for a hardworking trustworthy Estate agent look no further!!
Thanks again Diane for everything cant wait to see you again in September!
Lisa and Terry Castillo De Locubin
"We started emailling Diane about 18 months ago requesting that she sends any properties which would fit our needs. She wanted to know exactly what we would need (i.e. space outside etc) and immediately started sending properties through to us.In March this year we went to meet her in Spain and she showed us the properties we had agreed to see and decided that one of them was definately for us. Diane made the buying process so easy for us (completion was in April), she has been with us all the way and even when we went back there in May, she took us to the Bank to open an account ( we were there a couple of hours giving her valuable time ) and gave us lots of other advice and we would not have been able to do this without her. She has been absolutley amazing and we know she will be there for us when we return again in July with our dogs. We cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and lovely nature, actually she is a hoot. We feel that we have a new found friend we could call on and she would always be there to help, whatever the problem was. We would definately recommend Diane if you want to buy a property in Spain. can't wait to see her when we go back."
See you soon
Jacolyn & Jim xx
"Diane guided us through the process of buying a property in Spain at every stage. From the start, her description of properties on her website was spot-on, without any sales patter, and she showed us properties appropriate to our taste and budget. She was thorough, patient and accommodating throughout, and made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience entirely simple and stress-free. Cannot recommend her highly enough!"
Guy and Kavita- London
A quick note to say a huge thank you to Diane Heston and all the team at Andalucian Property Sales, we could not have asked for a better service than we were given! Diane was with us every step of the way from our initial contact to viewings then assisting us with the purchase and introducing us to an excellent English speaking lawyer. We can not praise or recommend highly enough Diane and Andalucian Property Sales she is a first class professional and her service to clients is second to none.
Thanks again Diane we cant wait to start our new life in the sun!
Janice and George Newall - Castillo De Locubin
I would whole heartedly advise you to use Diane Heston and Andalucian Property Sales to purchase your house in Andalusia. Diane immediately put me at ease with her easy style, conversation and honesty about all aspects of the process.
She was always available for support and went out of her way pre/post purchase to support the legal aspects, utilities, bank accounts etc as we were overseas.
Thanks Diane, keep on smiling!
Andy - Moclin
Having previously owned and sold a property in Spain some years ago, the dream has always been to buy again. We had no idea that we would find Diane's sort of expertise and patience, let alone our dream home in just the space of a few weeks.
All testimonials seem to point to the same thing about Diane, and that is her ability, her want, and her absolute determination to go above what is required in order to help with the buying process. We would have to strongly agree with this.
We dealt with a number of agents, and without a doubt Diane's energy, passion, and great love for what she does, and getting the right home, regardless of sale, shone through in a way that the others didn't.
There was never an issue with changing the plan, or going to re-view a property, or indeed never a problem with anything, which is massively refreshing.
If you are buying a house in Diane's territory, call her. She will not brow beat you with stories about other offers or bus loads of viewers coming along the day behind you in order to push you into a panic buy. If you say it's not the one, she simply says "lets go then." And does this with a smile and no hint or annoyance.
Since our purchase, Diane has been available for every email and every whatsap call, and every silly question we can think of she has answered with a great Emoji. A huge and very sincere thank you Diane.
Orla & Dan
Castillo De Locubin
We met Diane Heston after a disappointing viewing experience elsewhere. What a gem she is put us at ease straight away a fantastic viewing experience.
Although obviously acting on vendor's behalf she was always at the end of the phone or email.
Talked us through what was happening and what was going to happen every step of the way . Truly went above and beyond the call of duty .
I would highly recommend Diane Heston to anybody wishing to purchase in Spain.
Thank you Diane you're a star!
Wendy and Martyn
We first contacted Diane in early 2015, hoping to be on our way to Spain to find a perfect old-fashioned farm house to turn in to our perfect home, only for our house sale to fall through in the UK, putting everything on ice. Diane kept in contact with us, keeping our spirits up through a long game of snakes and ladders until we finally sold and completed. Under offer, we gave Diane a remit in June 2016 and she moved heaven and Earth to cram in as many viewings of suitable and available properties for us to see in a couple of days.
At no time were we put under any pressure or influence to commit towards any particular property but as she'd interpreted our requirements so well, we duly found ourselves with an accepted offer on the perfect place. Over the following few (rocky) weeks (thanks to everything from a Brexit vote to incomplete legal paperwork) she kept in contact with us whenever we asked, putting herself out to make sure we had all the information and support we needed. Like some of her previous satisfied buyers, we took her recommendation to use Jorge Retana (Lawyer) who complimented her excellence in customer service and whom I would similarly recommend. Diane could not have been more professional, helpful, honest and supportive and really has shamed the many other Agents we've had contact with over the years. Thank you so much Diane.

Hi Diane.....we just wanted to say thanks so much for the caring, professional and personal services we had when you sold our house for us.
It was a difficult time for us as we were unable to be in Spain due to ill health but you took care of everything and made the process easy and uncomplicated.
You have always gone above and beyond and you are an ambassador for Spain and you provide an honest and highly professional service.
Thank you again
Karen and Alan Higham
Words could not do justice to the superb service we received from Diane Heston, owner of Andalucian Property Sales. You cannot get much better than this for service, professionalism, and good honest care. There is no hard sell from Diane which was a breath of fresh air. Taking us round properties she let us make up our own minds about the properties we looked at. She is exceptionally honest about positive and negative aspects of each house we saw, which we appreciated very much. She puts a great deal of time and effort into ensuring that you are given correct information about your sale.
She gave us a step by step guide to buying in Spain, which was really helpful and her communication was second to none. Diane always answered or emails and texts quickly which was very reassuring. After sales service is incredible, Diane even took my husband to the bank to open an account - you would never get that in the UK!!! She is an incredibly hard working and dedicated lady who quickly becomes a good friend. We could not find any fault with Diane right from our first communication, she makes everything go smoothly. Diane recommended Jorge Retana, a superb lawyer, to deal with our legal matters, and, again, we received a faultless service. We would highly recommend Diane if you are thinking about buying property in Andalucia. We honestly do not believe you will get a better, more professional, honest and reliable service. Thank you so much Diane for helping us find our lovely home, you are amazing!!
Brian and Sandra , La Carrasca
I flew into Andalusia from Central America with a pretty tall order. I wanted to view properties and secure an accepted offer within 2 weeks. Working with Diane Heston was the best move I made. After a few emails and an informal discussion she whittled the number of properties to view down to a more realistic amount. She pointed out possible problems & imparted invaluable information (that other agencies failed to do). Although I was quite stressed to begin with, Diane's personality and knowledge of the area soon put me at ease and the whole process became a lot of fun. Requests to view properties a second or third time was never a problem for her. She even recommended an English speaking lawyer ( totally impartial I might add).
Thanks to Diane I was able to purchase a property within 6 weeks.
I highly recommend Diane and her company. She is honest, practical, informed and a lot of fun!.
Many thanks Diane, see you at Christmas.
Sarah Kinsella-Jones - Alcaudete
We recently sold our village house near Granada and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Diane Heston of Andalucian Property Sales both for her pleasant manner and for her honest, professional approach. Our sale ran into difficulties initially though through no fault of Diane's however she was reassuring and went out of her way to help and get things moving again. She kept us updated regularly, was always easy to contact via phone or email and immediately addressed any problems and replied promptly. I feel I've been dealing with a friend rather than an anonymous estate agent. Many thanks, Diane!
Hilary Moore - Escoznar
Thanks to your good services, we found the ideal house for us in Andalusia.Your excellent work and your sympathy helped us to find our place of pension in the sun.Thank you very much for all !!!
Patrick and Nicole
Would highly recommend Diane Heston she was very helpful and as she spoke English she put our minds at ease as it is a big step purchasing a property in a foreign country. Also after the sale she was still available to us for help and advice. She was a star thanks Diane.

We have finally completed on the purchase of our property in Andalucia.
The purchasing of this property was fraught with problems, non of which related to Diane Heston, but she took it upon herself to tackle each of the issues raised and brought them all to a successful resolution. Her professional and cheerful manner throughout helped us to stay positive. Dianne went more than the extra mile for us and even after completion she is still helping us making sure our transition from England to Spain goes without a hitch.
Without her help the completion would have been much harder. We started this journey as Clients and we have ended it as friends.
If considering buying in Andalucia speak with Diane first as she will pull out all the stops to find your dream home taking you through conception to completion and beyond.
Thank you Diane for your help, kindness and advice you kept us optimistic throughout and through you we now have our dream property.
Cant wait to be fully residing in it.
Kind regards
Patricia & Matthew Bailey
I found Diane Heston to be professional honest and trustworthy when selling my property recently would recommend Andalucian property sales.
Tony Cartwright
I had to write a few lines as I am believer in giving credit where credit is due. I recently bought a property in Andalucia southern Spain using Diane Heston and Andalucian Property Sales this initially was a daunting task as I had never embarked on anything like this before.
Initial contact with Diane Heston via email and a subsequent series of calls certainly put my mind at rest dealing with someone who has lived and worked in the area for so many years certainly proved useful with my numerous and possibly annoying questions. Diane showed great interest in my needs and listen intently to what was important to me and was always patient with me with my constant bombardment of emails, calls and questions nothing was too much trouble for her.
When I finally met her I was delighted to meet such a professional, honest and trustworthy young lady with a great sense of humour too! The whole day was spent looking at properties that could well be suitable for my needs a selection of ones I had pre chosen and ones that she suggested would be suitable and by the end of the day my decision was made. It was not all about the properties it was the locations too and Diane had in-depth knowledge of each Town and Village we visited so for a first timer in the area this was not only impressive but invaluable for me.
The whole transaction was flawless she helped me with a full English speaking lawyer who again was professional personified and his whole legal approach meant that not once did I stress about the whole purchase process as Diane had already explained it to me he just actioned it.
I would fully recommend Diane Heston and her company Andalucian Property Sales to anybody who is thinking of making this leap of faith as I did a I can guarantee she will not let you down!
Thanks Diane I can not wait to move over full time now!

Totally Professional from start to finish. Always pleasant, always helpful even during the stressful bits ( and there were many ! ) Information and reassurance on progress whenever it was needed.
Their sensible approach to fees was a breath of fresh air compared to the many agents we dealt with during our time of trying to sell our property in The Campo.
We speak as we find. We found very well !!"

After many years of searching for our ideal property, Diane helped us find the one!
All of those meetings at Lidl car park in Alcala la Real, Di showed us numerous properties and out of the 56 properties we saw in June 15, two of our top 4 were shown to us by Di.
She worked tirelessly to find us a property and business that met our demanding criteria - Di was knowledgeable, friendly, honest, punctual and very professional. We enjoyed viewing property with her as she made long days really enjoyable. Even in 45 degrees heat she turned up the Aircon and showed us property after property (even missing Coronation street to show us one last property)
Di was great at keeping in touch used all modern communications well, phone, email, what's app, text. She was great at negotiating and made us feel at ease - we feel like we have made a friend in Di and will keep in touch with her and her builder husband in the future
I cannot recommend Diane and Andalucian Property sales highly enough she is great if you want to buy or sell in this part of Spain give her a call.....

Dear Diane,
I just wanted to let you know how satisfied I have been with your services.
You proved efficient, hard working and cheerful right from the start, up to completion day.
I certainly would have no doubt whatsoever in recommended you.
Thank you again for all you have done to make the sale of my property so satisfactory.
Best wishes.

Hi Diane
Having now settled into our new home in Spain we wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all your guidance and support throughout this process. We viewed many properties during our search with various estate agents and would have no hesitation in recommending your service to potential buyers/sellers. You were instrumental in guiding us to the right property and your never ending patience and professionalism have been invaluable to us. We were always assured of a speedy response to any queries we had and an honest and straightforward answer. We have been very impressed with the after care service you have provided too.
Thanks again for all your help.
Jackie and Brian
Hi Diane
Thank you for acting as our agent to sell our house and land in Spain.
We had decided to market through selected agents as well as direct to ensure that we had as wide a coverage of potential buyers as possible but as it turned out, using you as an agent had the desired effect and you introduced the eventual buyers to us.
We understand from them that you didn't just show them houses but actually sat down with them and asked them how they saw their future lives in Spain, what sort of house they were looking for and even, whether they wanted a house with an income.
It is this attention to the needs of the buyer that brought our buyers to us and to a successful sale.
Dealing with you throughout the whole process has been a delight as you kept us fully informed of every detail and made sure that both we and the buyers were happy with every aspect.
Your introduction of the buyers to an English speaking lawyer helped them to understand the differences of buying a Spanish property and ensured a smooth sale for us.
Thank you again for your attention and for the very reasonable selling fee!
Kind regards
Steve & Wendy - Iznajar, Spain
The truth the whole truth and nothing but....do you want to feel safe? Do you want to be reassured that all is well and that the property is right?
When you have bought do you want to know that there is support and someone is on the end of the phone?
Look no further Diane Heston owner of Andalucian Property Sales of Martos is there!
Ask a question you will get an answer..how refreshing is that?
Harvey Lister - Castillo De Locubin
I am happy to write in praise of Diane Heston. She helped me identify an appropriate property and assisted all the way to completion. From the beginnings of email exchanges and short listing to viewing and then funds transfer and completion, her assistance was invaluable and her comprehensiveness, consistency and persistence were major factors in making the process relatively easy for me. I am pleased to recommend her to others considering property in Andalusia.
Denis Flores (Malta/Martos)
My partner and I have just completed on our dream holiday home in Andalucia and I felt I must write a few lines about Diane Heston and her team at Andalucian property sales based in Martos in the Jaen province.
From the first contact with her I realised she was a professional lady with integrity and put her clients wishes/wants and needs first, she listened to us to understand what it was we wanted then gently guided us to our ideal property. We were shown a good sample of properties all possible to suit our needs and she also helped us to make the final decision on what property suited us best.
There was no hard sell or pushing us as we had found with other agents just a gentle hand holding and constant support throughout the whole process,she even introduced us to a full English speaking lawyer Jorge who too was above and beyond professional throughout the whole process.
We took possession of our lovely new holiday home last week and were unable to attend in person the completion however we had 100% trust in Diane and Jorge to attend on our behalf and everything went smoothly.I can not thank Diane enough for coming to meet us quite late on Sunday evening to give us our keys, again just an example of where she goes the extra mile all these little things add up and that is why she is so successful and we wish her and her team continued success I have yet to meet such a genuine and hard working lady!
All the very best.
Paula Tarbuck
I recently sold my house in Alcaudete, Jaen and was very impressed by Diane's friendly professionalism. She was proactive throughout the period the house was on the market. Once I accepted an offer the sales process was quickly and efficiently completed. Diane was easily contactable and kept in touch throughout and promptly answered any query. I would highly recommend Diane Heston and her team at Andalucian Property Sales!
Jenny Glaves
We would like to say a huge thank you to Diane Heston. From our initial enquiry to Andalucian Property Sales right through to completion of our Spanish property purchase Diane has been professional, straightforward, proactive, quick to respond, committed and a pleasure to work with. Prior to finding Diane and Andalucian Property Sales we had a number of disheartening experiences. However, from the outset it was clear that in Diane we had found a dedicated knowledgeable professional who listened to our requirements, worked hard to help find us our ideal property and communicated effectively all the way through. We would recommend Diane Heston to anyone looking to buy a home in Spain. Thank you Diane and Andalucian Property Sales!
Melanie & Tim
Having just moved to beautiful, friendly Ermita Nueva, entirely due to Diane Heston's help in discovering it, I have to add to her many testimonials. Diane responded more thoroughly and positively than almost any other individual or agent to my online searches over the whole of Southern Spain. She listened, offering friendly advice and information but was always professional and impartial. She drive us tirelessly around once our perfect shortlist was compiled. One of the 7 we viewed was the house we now live in.
She suggested a tried and tested Abogado who was incredibly thorough, and amongst lots further ongoing varied help and support, (too much to mention individually) even helped me source a cattery.
If you have compiled a list of horror stories on line or from unlucky expats about buying in Spain which might be putting you off, throw them out and contact Andalucian Property Sales. We met Claire in Diane's team, who was also friendly and helpful with some great ideas for future projects on our house. Thank you Diane.
Liz Davey
From beginning to end we found Diane to be extremely Professional, Punctual, Dedicated & an all round genuinely nice person. She answered ALL our questions promptly & made our whole experience in selling our home a very smooth transaction.
I would/will whole heartedly recommend ANDALUCIAN PROPERTY SALES to everyone, whether it be buying or selling a property as Diane is an extremely knowledgeable lady with a warm, approachable personality.
Thank you once again Diane & on behalf of myself & Mark, may we wish you all the very best for the future! Xxx
Mark and Sharon Anne, Castillo de Locubin
We would like to thank Diane Heston and Andalucian Property Sales for all help finding our house. Diane have put up with all our stupid questions, she has been excellent and patient with us and help us in the best way. She informed us of the provinces were we looked at the houses, and also talked about what is happening in the area and what might be worth visiting.
As English is not our native language, Diane has been so patient and explained everything to us in the best way. She has also been so easy to get in touch with, when questions have come up. Even now after our purchase, she has helped us to get in order. We highly recommend her and am sure others will feel as special as Diane made us feel. Thanks so much for the help to find our paradise.
Maria and Peder Norrwie, Sweden.
As a streetwise boy living in the east end of London from the mid 40' to the 90's , I can only say that Diane would have given me a run for the money.
She was extremely helpful and couldn't have done more for me, she even arranged for the water supply to my property to be connected in about 4 hours. Probably never been done before in Spain (I understand from other Brits).
As I couldn't understand a word of Spanish she was invaluable to me and I have no hesitation in recommending her Company.
Dennis Clark - Shropshire
A quick note to say a BIG thank you to Diane Heston and her team at Andalucian Property sales for helping me find my little place in the sun.
Thank you for putting up with my constant stressing and silly emails you have been a true professional through it all never once tiring of me and offering me constant reassurance.
The legal team you recommended and the currency company again exceptionally professional and straight forward I really had nothing to worry about at all through the whole process. My only worries now are what colour to paint the walls!
Thank you again and I would not hesitate to recommend you and your services in the future.
Lucy and Roger Bartley - Croydon
Thank you Diane Heston and Andalucian Property sales for helping me find exactly what I wanted in Spain finally! I had had two previous trips with other agents who simply did not listen to my needs and requirements however you did hence a sale!
From the initial contact to the day of signing your were professional and extremely helpful and I know on more than one occasion you went above and beyond and I truly appreciate that.
Miranda Cole - Bristol
I found Diane and her team at Andalucian Property sales most helpful sending me regular details of property in my price range. The pictures were clear and showed most of the features.
On meeting Diane, I found her friendly, helpful and informative and although I did not purchase on my first visit, Diane kept up contact and property details.
On finding another place to view, details, phone conversations all reassured me and I decided to buy off the internet.
On visiting the house it was better than expected and the help to find lawyer and financial advice brilliant. I am now looking forward to life in Spain.
Christine Molson - Bobadilla
I would just like to send this Witness Testimonial to You and Andalucian Property Sales to say thank you for a fine job on the Sale of my House.
The Sale from Start to finish was handled in a very Professional Manner By Diane and her Team.
Although we had went through the Spanish Property Purchase Years before, it was so nice to hand our Property over to a very Professional Team , who took care of everything from start to finish .
After one short Phone Call to Diane telling her that i wanted to sell my property, she came to meet me at my House and after taking some great Photos and having a chat about the details, and the Work that was done to the property !!! it was on the Web Site for Sale within Days.
Diane made the process very simple for me with reference to all the Paper work as She and her Solicitor took care of everything as this can be a very daunting experience.
Once Diane secure a Client for the Property and after another short Phone Call the Sale was completed within 10 Days and all Money Transferred , what a fantastic Job .
I would Highly Recommend Diane and I would just like to say thank you for a wonderful Sale and making it so easy for me.
Julie Lawrence.
Jeff and I would like to say how very helpful Diane Heston was when buying our house in Castillo de Locubin. She was always on the end of the phone and nothing was too much trouble for her. Even after the sale she offered that we could phone her at any time with any questions. Would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you Diane.
Val and Jeff Bedwell, Castillo de Locubin
After having been recommended to Diane Heston and her company Andalucian Property Sales by a good friend living in Andalucia for several years. When starting the process of trying to find and then buy a dream property for ourselves, we knew right from the beginning that we had been placed in the right hands.
Diane’s approach to everything was always very professional, but was also sympathetic, sincere and rather importantly, always honest. With not being afraid to be frank about certain aspects of a property or its location if required, offering clear and candid advise when felt required. Working hard to come up with suggestions and ideas.
She always listened to what we had to say, especially about what we thought we wanted as well as what we asked of her to do and then acted upon this. Culminating in her being able to determine and then find the idealest property for us, and one that ticked every box for us, which we have now bought.
And even the buying process, which we never imagined would the case, was made easy and simple and stress feee for us, with her recommendation of a fantastic legal partner. And we know from here on in, that with her after sale service, which is somewhat unique, we will if necessary be in good hands.
Thank you for all and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Diane and her company on to anyone… First class service, second to none…
Chris and Johannes, Sauerland, Germany
For anyone out there who is considering purchasing property in Andalucia, STOP...Don't do anything until you have spoken to Diane Heston.
My wife and I had spent months scouring the internet looking at properties and had also been out twice and met with various agents. I can honestly say that stumbling across her website was the best thing that could have happened as far as our dream of moving to Spain was concerned. From the outset Diane Heston, was helpful, polite, punctual and more importantly than all, honest. She was never afraid to give her frank and candid opinion on all matters housing, and once she had met us and got a feel for what we were after, managed to send through and source properties that continually met the mark.
Once we had found our paradise, Diane was permanently on hand to answer any question no matter how trivial. Using her vast network of contacts we had legal representation and insurance at good rates and all with helpful, professional staff. Thanks to her, our house purchase passed off without a hitch and was done with no stress whatsoever - impressive considering we were in a different country!
Not only was Diane the consummate professional during the purchase process, she was also able to offer a myriad of help from English/Spanish translation to having the locks changed on the property.
Diane, from Sarah and I a massive thanks for all of your hard work. I would not hesitate in recommending your services to anyone...they were top notch. We definitely owe you a drink or three!!
Ben and Sarah, Priego de Cordoba
Just a few words to say what an absolute star Diane Heston is at Andalucian property sales I recently moved over to Spain and as yet do not speak the language. I bought my house off another local agent who seems not to understand the concept of after sales service. I contacted Diane and she has been fantastic helping me with all things legal, personal and sociable I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t have found her!!
Many thanks again Diane I will certainly be recommending you to all I meet and I am sure I will need your help again real soon!!

Diane Heston helped me with looking at several houses in Alcaudete and Martos. She even worked on a Bank holiday to show me. She showed me around the town of Martos and told me about the facilities in the town and that is where I decided to buy my house in Spain.
Diane has helped me in opening a bank account and recommending a very good lawyer and has served me in all the way you can ask for and even more!.
I can warmly recommend her if you are thinking of buying house in Martos or Alcaudete

Hello to all you people out there who want to sell your casa or cortijo in Spain. Get yourself along to Diane at Andalucian Property Sales for a first class service. When we put our casa on the market Diane kept us informed about all the viewings that were taking place and with her vast number of connections we soon had a buyer. Before and after the sale Diane was always available to answer any questions and made the whole process stress free. After the completion at the Notary, Diane’s last words were, “contact me any time if you need anything”. What more could you ask for.

The decision to move from Florida to Spain was not an easy one. But having lived here for 5 months now, we can honestly say it was the right one. The Spanish property market is fraught with pitfalls and unscrupulous estate agents.
Having met many agents on our numerous trips we were giving up hope of ever finding an agent who had OUR best interest at heart.
Then we met Diane Heston of Andalucian Property Sales. She listened to us and got to know us, our likes, dislikes etc
It is a testament to Diane’s dedication, professionalism, and knowledge that we are now in our new sunny home. She found us the perfect property and we have no reservation in recommending Diane and her team to anyone.
And in fact would urge you to use her as your Real Estate professional.

We found Diane straight forward, no nonsense, direct answers to all questions . Very friendly with a good sense of humour which put us at ease. We would recommend Diane above all the other local agents. Diane goes the extra mile and helps and advises on all aspects relating to relocating to Spain.

I recently sold my house very quickly through Andalucian Property Sales. I have known the owner, Diane Heston, for years and have always been confident in her professional and personable manner. With regard to my sale, I was quite pleased with the way she identified the needs of the buyers who found just what they were looking for when they viewed my home. The people who purchased my house wanted a quick transaction, and Diane bent over backwards to ensure that the whole process was completed in just two weeks without any snags. Whether you´re looking to buy or sell, I recommend Andalucian Property Sales without hesitation.

At last we have finally made our purchase and its all thanks to Diane Heston at Andalucian Property sales! We have spent the past few months trawling website and dealing with agents some good some bad. Diane was professional from the beginning from our first contact via the internet and email, then chatting with us but most importantly listening. Our viewing day was great fun and we saw everything we asked to see along with some similar properties Diane had carefully selected for us. The professional way in which we were dealt with along with her warmth and friendly personality made the whole process very straight forward and nothing was ever too much trouble. We just can’t wait now to settle in and start enjoying our new home!

Just a few words to express our sincere gratitude to you Diane and your team at Andalucian Property sales. We started looking last year for a property in Andalucia however was bombarded with emails and phone calls from agents all trying to sell sell sell.
From start to finish you were professional, friendly, humourous and human and always seemed to have our best interest at heart and that is why we warmed to you and trusted you so quickly above some other agents we came across.
With your help, support and your legal team we have found our little piece of Spain and are so excited about moving over permanently at the end of year.
I cannot thank you enough for everything Diane and I look forward to seeing you on a social basis in the near future!!!!
Pam and Alan Hunt, Exeter
I would just like to say a BIG thank you to you Diane Heston for all the hard work you put into marketing and selling our Property. After having it on the market for some time we were getting very frustrated with other agents in their lack of interest in promoting it on our behalf!
I have to say you were like a breath of fresh air..you came when you said, you always kept appointments and gave us honest and open feedback not feedback that your thought we wanted to hear but the truth!
We are sad to be leaving Spain but circumstances have taken the decision away from us, however your professionalism, genuine interest in your clients and comitment have helped us move on.
Best of luck for the future however I don’t think you will need it many thanks again.

My dreams have finally come true and it's all thanks to Campo Construction/Andalucian Properties. They helped meto find the house of my dreams so quickly and the process of paperwork, banking and legal communication was made so easy for me thanks to their professional services.
Campo Construction are helping me with the necessary renovations so that the house will be waiting for me to move into very soon.
Thank you Campo Construction/Andalucian Properties for helping me achieve my life-long dreams of buying my dream house in Andalucia!

After trawling the internet for months and having wasted time with other estate agents we came across Diane Heston of Andalucian property sales. What a refreshing change!!A hard working legal honest and trustworthy lady who knew her stuff! It was a pleasure viewing properties and she actually listened to our needs and only showed us properties that fitted what we wanted. At no time did we feel pressured or bullied as we had with other agents, everything was relaxed and at our own pace.We found our own little place in the sun in just one day with Diane’s support and guidance and now can’t wait to move over and start our new life in Spain. Since buying the property Diane has also been there as support for us helping us with important and legal things and minor things..she really is a one stop shop and we are delighted we found two little gems, one being our new home and the other being Diane! We consider Diane and the team at Andalucian property services as friends now not business associates and will be looking forward to sharing a few local vinos with them!
Thanks again all

After 8 months or so of trying to get our electricity reconnected and the leak in our roof fixed we decided we should finally look for an alternative contact for our property in Spain, patient is a virtue apparently but after 8 months, our virtue packed its ruck sack and went to look for a cliff. Whilst on a frantic search of tinterweb we chanced upon Campo construction and dropped them an email. Bloody hell fire! Within days Andy had emailed us, rang us, been up on our roof, sent us a quote, been to get a license and was up on the roof repairing the afore mentioned leak, Diane had been on the phone to the Electricity company had the bill on her desk and booked an appointment with us, the electricity company and the bank to sort out payment and direct debits for when we arrived.
Not only where they professional, competent and legal, they were also jolly nice too!
Not so much a breath of fresh air, more like a very welcome tornado!
Thanks for all your help
John & Lucy
We would like to thank both you Diane and Andy Heston for all your help and support in looking after our property in Spain. It is a god send to have you on hand to help with anything that arises in Spain whilst we are living in England. Thank you for sorting out the electric and water bills and helping us with our wealth tax.
Regards
Steve and Martin, Alcaudete
My family and I recently found ourselves in an impossible situation and close to being homeless. I cannot stress enough how without the help and support of Diane and Andy Heston we would not have got through it.
They went above and beyond the call of duty to help us from translations, legal paperwork, taking care of our possessions and even found us a property to rent!
Thanks again for all the support and making a hideous situation a little more bearable.
Regards
