Mrs David from Herefordshire says;

We had a wonderful trip to Catalonia looking for and finding a beautiful plot of land in the hills. The Mottrams not only find spectacular places but look after their customers like family friends, helping with all aspects before and after the sale so that the whole operation is enjoyable and easy. They offer a really remarkable service and we are delighted.

Buying the land in spain was ridiculously easy! was so very worried about being ripped off as all my friends and family thought I was a fool to buy somewhere I´d never been over the internet.David Nancy and Liela were lovely! So warm and friendly,the paperwork was a breeze and the whole process only took a couple of hours.  We met another couple who were buying too and will be our distant neighbours, soon all of our combined nervousness turned into excitement and joy!. Its a very beautiful part of Spain,very green and spacious. Idefinitely feel tht if I had any questions or problems at all that I could rely on David and
Nancy to sort them out for me, And they would definitely be able to! Now my friends and family are all being nice to me as they all want to go! Personally as I live in london,I cant wait to go there by myself for peace quiet  cleanness and the stars!! I feel realy lucky and thankful.

We finally decided to move to Spain to realise a life long dream – to live in a stone farmhouse in the sun, with land to call our own. To convert this dream into reality were David and Nansi Mottram of LandBank International. They cannot be thanked enough for guiding us through the buying process here in Catalonia; in fact our friends and family were so impressed that they too are now purchasing property through LandBank Int.

Their professional team is reassuringly thorough. Bi-lingual staff walked us through every step of the way from opening a bank account to purchasing mobile phones.

We are now renovating our mountain properties with the help of LandBank Int and have really settled in.

The locals are so friendly that we have offers to prune our olive and almond grove, and gifts of local produce are brought to the door almost every day.

Unlimited hiking and pony trekking into the mountains, abundant sunshine, castles, river fishing and of course the Mediterranean, also with the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona so nearby convince us that we have found our own patch of paradise. Thank You!!

Being interested in buying property or land in Catalunya, we noticed the Landbank International site on the internet, mostly in reference to the Log Homes that were being advertised. We saw, on the internet site,  many examples of homes we would love to live in, so we contacted David by clicking on the "Have you call us back" area on the website. So simple, and David phoned us immediately. He gave us heaps of information, which was very useful and helped to reassure us that there really weren't the problems that you can often read about in publications. We arranged a visit and were shown around several sites, suitable for our requirements. Nothing was too much trouble, from arranging a hotel, booking tables for dinner as well as the extremely professional and stress free business side of things. We were so impressed with what we saw, that we bought not one but two pieces of land, and have been so satisfied with their service, we are in the process of purchasing yet another finca.. Everything was made so simple for us, and all the legalities ran extremely smoothly with no hitches. We know that not only do we have a professional business relationship with David, Nansi and their family, but we believe that we have the basis of a lifelong friendship. Anybody wishing to contact us with reference to Landbank International, and the pleasure of buying property in Catalunya, are more than welcome to do so.

Catalonia Properties

Yarah David and Samuel Osborne bought a 33 acre finca in Tarragona, September 2006 through Landbank Int.

"Nansi and David Mottram of Landbank International could not have been more kind or helpful. Unbelievably busy from the minute we met them, they were still able to accommodate our ridiculously tight and last minute schedules, regularly picking us up and ferrying us to any and all locations that took our fancy, often more than once, as we persuaded various members of the family of the individual merits of each site. They were wonderful, warm, entertaining and a shining example of an excellent family run business with two of their teenage daughters already working with them. I cannot recommend Landbank International more highly, what to many people in England is a minefield of horror stories (buying abroad) has been a painless and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you so so much to everyone at Landbank.We consider Nansi and David the font of an endless source of useful knowledge and friends too, which is the icing on the cake."

Mr. Drysdale, Kent, bought two properties  said in August 2006 :

"I recently purchased a plot of land and secured a second plot for future purchase with LandBank International and found their services to be quite simply superb."

"They were on hand to guide me through the purchase from start to finish.  This included locating a plot, registration to gain an MIE number, opening a Spanish bank account and all legal aspects of land purchase in Spain."

 

"LandBank are a family business David and Nanci treated me as a friend rather than a customer throughout.  I will definitely use LandBank again and have no hesitation in recommending this excellent company to anyone interested in land or property in this region of Spain."

 

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, executive managers of an assurance company in Dover said in August 2006 :

"All my expectations have been exceeded! I have not only found the advice and help I have received from Landbank invaluable but priceless! Landbank excel in every sense of the word. I could not have done this without them!"

“Very pleased and delighted with everything so far”, “level of service from LandBank team, excellent”

“Service of the notary, excellent, - very helpful” “Yes I would definitely recommend LandBank”

We have bought one site successfully and are under contract for a second, with the intentions of building log homes.

Mr and Mrs Ives, Norfolk.

“Professional, efficient, punctual and nice people to boot”, “on a personal level our purchase was exactly as described”, Our property purchases are “everything we were looking for at a price we were able to afford”.

Bought a site and a log cabin and which has become a phenomenal investment and now have bought a country farm.

Mr Taylor, Essex.

“When we met David and Nansi we were made very welcome. After discussion they found a number of properties for us to look at. They then spent the whole day driving to the properties of interest to us. We then made our choice” “Yes I could definitely recommend LandBank International” We availed ourselves of NIE, bank account services, financial services and planning from LandBank – “All these services were completed on our behalf”

Whilst planning is being finalised we were so impressed with the log cabins we have ordered a log cabin from Eaglerock International (A division of David Mottram Group SL).

Mr and Mrs Dealey, Midlands.

“The LandBank team, David, Nansi and Leilah Mottram made us very welcome to Cambrils. They were very informative on all aspects from buying our land to details of the area and made everything very easy for us. We also found that everything was dealt with very swiftly and professionally. They are a great team”.The service of the notary was “excellent”, “on a personal level our purchase was as described”

“We are pleased with our property purchase in Catalunya”

In fact we were so please with the first site that we bought we purchased five further sites from LandBank and an ancient masia.

Mr. Haywood, Norfolk, said on 1st July 2005:

"Thanks for the excellent support!"

"Sandra and I wanted to thank you and your company for all your support and efforts. We are delighted with the purchase," "let me wish you every continuing success."

And a recommendation from a client who has purchased an Eaglerock log home:

David and Sandra McCoy.

We are delighted to recommend Eagle Rock Log Homes.

"It was a fantastic investment for 240,000 euros, we had the home of our dreams.

It was unbelievable when all we saw was a piece of land with beautiful views and nothing but a forest, we had always dreamed of owning and living in a log home, from our childhood days when Davey Crockett and the Wild West featured log cabins, forests, rugged countryside and bubbling rivers.

The price of the land was 35,000 euros, the log home delivered and constructed by Eagle Rock was 240,000 euros.

We couldnt believe our eyes when our new home arrived in 2 open topped shipping containers, almost like the trees had been cut down and felled straight into the container.

John Twooney, director of Eagle Rock told us that they would turn the trees into a quality log home for you in three weeks.

Seven artisans arrived on site to construct our new log home. We couldnt believe it when pieces of wood were being scribed and notched, some men were using hand tools and some men were using electronic routers and planers - all run off a generator.

A caravan arrived for the men, and yes, true to their word - three weeks later our log home was errected to include the roof.

The construction was all in dovetail joints and the timbers were so smooth, it was unbelievable.

Four weeks on, we had moved into the home of our dreams. The dining room, lounge with a superb floor to ceiling stone fireplace. Bathroom with fantastic tile finishing and the roof detail which is incredible.The house has beautiful dormer windows and a lovely constructed external stone chimney.

We are so pleased with our Eagle Rock log home, that we have ordered an Eagle Rock log cabin which is The Cherokee model and will have it constructed on another site to let out in Tivissa".

The price of the cabin is 20,000 euros.

Our Building site was bought from Land Bank International www.landbankint.com , and our new log home was delivered & constructed by Eagle Rock Log Homes www.eaglerockloghomes.com

Our new log home is being featured in Everything Spain magazine & Spanish magazine.

We would like to thank David Mottram & John Twooney of Eagle Rock International for providing a fantastic service.

David and Sandra McCoy.

Moving to Catalonia one year ago was the best decision I have ever made. Now I’m happy to call this area my home.  Catalonia forms the North Eastern coast of Spain stretching from the Pyrenean mountain range in the North down to the Ebro Delta in the south with vibrant Barcelona as its capital city and hundreds of miles of Mediterranean coastline.

Living in sunny Spain had always been a dream of mine and this corner of Catalonia ticked all the boxes on my wish list: high mountain peaks and lush river valleys offering ample hiking and fishing opportunities; medieval castles and cobbled streets to explore; Barcelona’s architecture and retail therapy just a train ride away; the award winning Priorat wine region and all the ‘open’ cellars offering samples amid surroundings to rival Tuscany. And of course, the Mediterranean beaches and long hot summers. Just twelve kilometres from my farmhouse you’ll find my favourite sandy cove. There my new friends serve local wine, oysters and paella at a table in the sun while we marvel at how lucky we are to be living here in this unspoilt region.

While I’m at home on the finca I enjoy my own almonds, walnuts, grapes, figs, olive oil and vegetables. My Catalonian friends catch wild boar, rabbits and partridge in the surrounding hills. I haven’t sampled these delights yet, being vegetarian, but I hear that this free range organic meat is better than anything you’d buy in the supermarket.

When I first moved here one question that I was constantly asked was what’s it like to move to an area when you don’t know anyone? Within three days of moving in to my farmhouse many of the villagers had visited with gifts of local produce. The most unusual visitor was an angry ginger Tom cat in a Hessian sack, brought by Jose a local olive farmer who thought no farm should be without one.
