When looking for a property in the Pinoso area, we could not have chosen a better estate agent than Shiraz at Stratus International Properties.
From the very first enquiry by e-mail we received immediate response and a time when we could meet up. When we met Shiraz for the first time we found him to be very friendly and efficient. He went to great length to show us around as many places he could and that he felt would suit what we were looking for.
In the end we chose to buy a plot of land. We then got all the help we needed to complete the deal. We shall be continuing to use his services for any help we may need in getting a house built.
An excellent contact to have in Spain. We warmly recommend Stratus International Properties.

We have friends who live near Pinoso and after a few visits, decided to look at buying a property ourselves.
We were sent details of a villa that suited our requirements, and arranged to fly out to meet up with Shiraz from Status International who was advertising the property.
He spent a lot of his time showing us the property and various others.
When we eventually chose our villa, Shiraz helped us with the whole buying process. His fluent Spanish has been invaluable, his professional approach and charming manner very reassuring. Months later we still call on him to help out with translation and dealings with local tradesmen etc.
Anyone who is contemplating a move to Spain, should not hesitate in contacting Shiraz at Stratus International, we cannot recommend him highly enough.
Familia Rodriguez
Somos una familia de Alicante que estábamos buscando una casa de campo con un pequeño terreno para pasar los fines de semana y vacaciones. Estuvimos buscando un año y medio y nada nos convencía hasta que nos pusimos en contacto con Shiraz por Internet.
Desde el principio nos sentimos muy bien atendidos, nos enseño varias casas que se acercaban a lo que andábamos buscando y en dos meses nos decidimos por una de ellas, reunía todas las cualidades que buscábamos, casa nueva, un gran terreno, en un entorno precioso, relativamente cerca de nuestra ciudad y un precio asequible.
Shiraz se ha implicado en todo momento con nosotros, todo lo que hemos necesitado nos lo ha facilitado, necesitamos llevar unos muebles antes de la firma y estuvo pendiente para que no tuviéramos ningún problema, además el trato ha sido muy cordial y correcto. Aún después de la firma se está preocupando por ayudarnos con el cambio de papeles(agua..), en ofrecernos presupuestos para hacer algunas cosillas en el terreno, etc..
En definitiva, se ha portado como un buen profesional y le estamos muy agradecidos y por supuesto no dudaremos en recomendárselo a amigos y familiares.

What are you apprehensive about when you retire to Spain? In addition to finding a suitable property our primary concerns were about things we did not understand:
* The paperwork
* The legal process
* The language
We decided to design our own house. I'm sure we were not the first people to hear "Make sure it's legal... It will never be completed on time... You won't get what you want..." Well! They were wrong.
Shiraz was on the case; and he listened to us. He delivered everything he promised. I have no reservations at all in recommending the services of Stratus International. Use them - You wil not be disappointed.
PS We have been on our house a year now and Shiraz still helps us out.
I would recommend Stratus International to anyone looking for property/land in the Pinoso area and beyond. The staff are friendly, courteous, empathetic and prepared to go that extra mile to ease the bureaucratic complexities of buying a property/land in Spain.
There is absolutely no pressure put on you to buy, you'll be shown as many properties as "you" want to see and "you" make the decision. I've recieved continued surport and advice long after my purchase and not become just another sale. Thank you Stratus International.
Lesley & Dick Coombes
We consider ourselves very lucky that we found Shiraz. He was very patient with us as it took us ages to find the plot that was right for us. We lost count of the number of times he took us out looking. Nothing was too much trouble.
When we finally found where we wanted to be he made the process very easy for us From start to finish Shiraz was there for us. He was very honest and up front about everything.
We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Shiraz. Thankyou.
Chris & Diana Bentham – Leeds UK
We are currently in a long drawn out process of purchasing a home in Spain and despite all rumours to the contrary about unscrupulous agents and property marketing companies, there are people who can be trusted to be fair and honest.
We were lucky enough to come across Shiraz Khaliq.
To those contemplating such a stressful and complicated move, I can only recommend that you speak to this person first for unbiased, truthful and competent advice.
At all times during our transactions, Shiraz has been helpful and courteous.
Above all, Shiraz is truthful and accurate in anything he tells you and nothing appears to be too much trouble.
‘A true professional in all respects’.
We should point out that Shiraz isn’t even acting on our behalf, he is actually acting for the lady selling the house, not us the buyers.
Bill & Pauline Moist – Chester le Street Co.Durham
Our first experience of buying a property in Spain was like many others, buying a holiday home on an urbanisation in Torrevieja through a local Estate Agent. Although everything seemed to go quite smoothly and it was ok for holidays we always knew we wanted more.
We were introduced to Shiraz by a neighbour who told us that if we wanted more we should look to buy inland and we should meet Shiraz and see what was available. Shiraz explained we could buy a plot of land and build a house on it for much the same price as a house on an urbanisation. It was only when we met Shiraz that we realised we could actually design our own house rather than pick from a limited number of standard styles. We had never thought of this and to be honest the idea of designing a house from scratch was quite daunting.
Shiraz assured us it was easy and explained how he would “hold our hands” at each stage. We visited some of his clients and everyone spoke very highly of Shiraz and also the builder, Pascual. This was to be our big investment for our home in Spain and we needed everything to be right, we could not afford any nightmares like the horror stories we have all see on TV etc.
We have been delighted with the service we have received from Shiraz. He recommended a number of Spanish Architects who listened to our wish list and came up with a number of designs. We had complete control and we agreed on a design to suit what we wanted and to suit our budget. We had the choice of which builder to use and decided to use Pajobi SL because of the referrals we received when we visited other houses he had built for other UK clients.
We decided to employ our own Spanish solicitor and Shiraz was able to liaise with the solicitor at every stage to ensure the process kept on track. Shiraz has been true to his word and has “held our hands” and guided us through each step. We would be delighted to speak to anyone about the level of service Shiraz has given us and we have no hesitation in recommending his company to anyone who is looking for “their own” piece of Spain.
David and Glenda Farrar from Haughton, Stafford
For everyone, buying a new home in Spain to retire into needs very careful consideration, not the least because it means a completely new lifestyle in almost every way.
There are three important aspects to everything of this nature ..... Quality, Service and Price, and STRATUS INTERNATIONAL excel in all of these.
The quality of our property is excellent with considerable thought going into the design and construction. We also had a choice of quite a number of different plots and locations to choose from.
The price is very competitive given the high standard of the property.
Finally the service from STRATUS INTERNATIONAL is second to none. Nothing has been too much trouble for Shiraz, as he is determined to ensure that our retirement home meets our exacting requirements in every way possible.
With all of the usual programmes on British television about the horrors of moving abroad it causes doubts in ones mind, but we were able to talk each thing through carefully with Shiraz and everything has been resolved in a highly professional and reassuring manner. Shiraz at STRATUS INTERNATIONAL has undoubtedly turned this into an enjoyable process for us.
Marilyn and Peter Coates from York in the UK
We had a terrible couple of days with another company in Valencia. But our faith was re-stored with Shiraz. We were shown several properties and nothing was to much trouble. You worked very hard and tirelessly with us driving us here and there, to help us find our dream retirement home.
We can not thank you enough for all your kindess and support.
P McELDON (Major British Army - soon to retire to Spain) 
A totally professional, friendly and informative experience. I must say I thought it would be extremely difficult going to a foreign country and trying to sort out my dream villa in Spain. Not so...the whole process from selection of a plot (most important) through to planning and designing your dream home can be done in a way that is easy to understand and with knowledgeable and experienced staff.
I was also pleasantly surprised as to how affordable it really is to design your own dream villa and have it built by reliable local builders and most importantly everything is totally legal and above board. (no risk of land grab here)
I can wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone who is thinking of buying a property in Spain for whatever reason and can assure you that I reached this conclusion after a lot of time and consuming leg work and research of many different companies.
