We met Paul on a “Second Home Exhibition” in The Netherlands. He knows the market very well and understands the specific needs of foreigners. We visited the different areas of the city and fell in love with an apartment in the old town. Paul suggested to have another look at nighttime, as he regarded the area as a bit rough. We did so, and found out that this was NOT our area. We continued our search together and we found a loft-type apartment at the beach area (Barceloneta). VDH assisted us during the whole process, including a complete refurbishment project and Paul has become a personal friend. Very efficient, all-round service. Highly recommendable!

We found the services of VDH through the internet. Within hours they sent us a complete report with the “ins & outs” of the local market and a quote of the proposed services. The day afterwards we asked Paul to accompany us with our search for a small palace in the centre of Barcelona, as we had very little time. We found a unique apartment, in downtown BCN, did the negotiations together, and had a fantastic deal! Wow, things go different in Spain.

The company, and specially Paul are highly recommendable and offered their service network. They took care of everything, including signing the purchase Deed with a power of attorney. With such an important decision, it felt very safe to have someone you could trust, especially if you live so far away.

We contacted Paul after the very positive experience of my parents with him, a couple of years earlier, when they bought a villa in Tossa de Mar (Costa Brava). In our case, it was a complicated (legal) process and Paul was always there to support us.

 

We felt very comfortable having someone with his experience, working on our behalf. Many times, people underestimate the difficulties of buying a home abroad.

It´s not just the language problem, but there are also many cultural differences, between “northern and southern Europe”.

Paul is a trustful consultant with tremendous expertise in real estate and business in Spain. Focus on the aim, supportive and helpful. He helped me to acquire an apartment in Barcelona but offered much more like a perfect renovation and organizing all services needed to enjoy being an inhabitant in Barcelona. He became a professional friend who is there when you need him

I was looking for an investment in residential real estate in Barcelona. VDH offered a complete building with 9 fantastic apartments + 2 shops in the Borne quarter of the city.

Paul was the owner and we dealt with him through the whole process. Very professional, close to the client, always able to resolve any obstacles and willing to share his experience.

After we bought, his partner company Caseuro is still handling the administration and rentals on our behalf. Excellent contact!

David, owner of a building in Barcelona

From Barcelona

For our company, we were considering investing in residential real estate in Barcelona. We searched the internet and found several companies offering real estate services. One of these, was VDH Enterprises, owned and managed by Paul van den Hout.

I called Paul and during this conversation it became clear he knew the Spanish market very well and he understood what services foreigners require when looking to purchase real estate in Spain. After discussing various possibilities, we agreed on an all-in service package.

This gave me the confidence I was looking for and it was good to speak with someone in your own language! It only took us one day to find the ideal apartment in the center of the city. Paul negotiated with the realtor for us and the deal was sealed the very same day. At this moment, Paul´s company is organizing a complete refurbishment project for us.

The main reasons to choose for VDH were, confidence, fast feedback, a clear “no-nonsense”, result driven approach and a hands-on mentality. Paul and his team are very professional and always put the customer first!
