One of our clients yesterday caused me to pause for a moment and remember just how wonderful Los Gigantes is. Those of us who live here occasionally take for granted this little corner of paradise and it takes someone else to remind us to take a step back and admire our surroundings. The abundance of flowers and trees -the whole hearted friendliness of the community- the tranquil harbour and the many stylish  eateries make this THE perfect holiday destination be it for long or short term. Buying  your own property here  in Los Gigantes means it is ideal for letting or just for using as and when you wish.We have  our own friendly reliable companies in the village  such as ‘Safe Hands’ and T.H.A who care for your  ‘home’ and of course Nicky Wragg and our adminstrator Vanessa are always on hand to help with any legal or offical enquiries  you may come across.

Due to demand our new office is opening opposite the main plaza and we aim to be able to offer you more services from there as well as our usual after care help. Excursions will also be available in conjunction with Tenerife Sunshine.

When the Royal Oak pub in Coventry decided to have a paella night to celebrate Spain winning the World Cup they were a little disappointed to find they couldn’t obtain a large enough paella dish anywhere. When Paul Ruane dropped by for a swift half whilst in the U.K. on a break this matter was swiftly solved! A quick call to Emilio at Azafran meant the gigantic dish was bought and Los Gigantes Properties did the rest!  Packed-posted and off it went to the U.K. Lo and behold the paella was made and a packed pub had a great evening! Paul Ruane tells us the chef did a good job and that the paella was delicious! www.tenerifeproperties.com always on hand for all your legal requirements-wills-taxes-property sales-long term rentals and occassionaly  -more!

An extra addition to our blog this week as  Paul would like to mention the service,hospitality and friendship that was particularly excellent at Golf Las Americas. The Old B’s Club had a really good time and would like to extend their thanks.  Read more in Val Richardson’s column in the Tenerife News next Tuesday 21/09/10

More on golf on our blog next week by popular demand and don’t forget to leave your comments here. We do apppreciate them.

Paul Ruane has just spent a week with the ‘Old B’s ‘ club . This was a golfing week at the Abama hotel which was delayed earlier in the year due to the ‘ash cloud’ problems.  Paul Ruane and 27 others took to the golf course at the Abama for a few rounds and the guys also played on the golf course at Adeje . The ‘Old B’s club included a past and next years Wentworth captain. All were impressed with the golfing here on the Island. Paul reports the Adeje course is in fabulous condition and Tenerife is now one of the most popular new Winter golfing holiday destinations. The ‘working’ holiday incorporated a couple of great nights out at Azafran and the ‘Old B’s’ club are already planning a return venture. Anyone needing more information regarding golfing holidays in Tenerife can email Paul  Ruane via our website.

Paul Ruane spends at least two  months every year in the U.K.and is well aware and up to date on trends and peoples expectancy,especially one thing that he is noticing more and more is the reason estate agents in the U.K. have a bad reputation.

FIRST: Many properties are viewed by prospective purchasers without the assistance of the estate agents.

SECOND: Stress is massive as there are no commitments by vendor or purchaser. The regular system in Spain of 10% deposit ensures that both vendor and purchaser are seriously commited.

THIRD: After sales service is paramount in the set up of Los Gigantes Properties. Paul believes if your’e a client it is our responsibility to not just take your money and relax but to be there for you after you have bought a property from his company.

FOURTH: The success of the future of Los Gigantes Properties depends on what Paul calls a dying art and that is actually caring for and looking after your clients.

FIFTH: In this age of movement around the world one thing that is so different is that people are not just holiday makers  they are now quite accomplished travellers and when you become a traveller one thing that really sticks in your throat is if you feel you have been ‘ripped off’.

Los Gigantes Property Sales earn our living giving a good service which proves to be priceless in the long term.
