"Prior to making a final decision Wincham displayed considerable patience in answering our various questions and at the same time offered guidance without putting us under any pressure to decide. Once our decision was made the actual transfer of the property into the UK Company and signing process went through quickly and without any major problems. In our view the whole process was handled professionally and with efficiency. Spain being Spain took longer than we would have liked to switch the payment of all our bills to the new Company bank account, however this has now all been completed. People all have different circumstances and this IHT arrangement may not suit everyone but given the way our finances are structured we feel the right decision has been made. We also had the benefit of using the Wincham Will services too."

Dear Mark,

I would like to thank you very much for the great service that my Wife and I have experienced from your good self and from all the people who work for Wincham. We have found that since we first saw the advertisement explaining the benefits of the services you were in a position to offer in particular to owners of property in Spain, that any matters raised by us have been answered promptly and efficiently and dealt with to our satisfaction. We feel certain that this happy state of affairs will continue while we own the UK Limited Company as a vehicle to hold our property in Spain.

"In my search for a retirement property I travelled to Italy, Portugal and multiple times to Spain. I remained unsatisfied until by some fortuitous stroke of good luck I encountered and sought the help of Wincham. Travelling up and down the Costa Blanca, at times with, and at times without Wincham companions, I finally located an ideal property. The purchase arrangements which saved both myself and the seller a sufficient amount to place the purchase within my budget is absolutely attributable to the nature of their UK Limited Company purchase scheme, and their patient experienced negotiating skills. On a scale of 10, I would award Wincham a 10+."

Dear Mark,

I just wanted to say, now that the transfer of our property into the UK Company is finished, how impressed I have been by the way it has been handled. The whole process is obviously quite complicated but it has been dealt with extremely well from start to finish. Any time I have been unsure about anything I have contacted Wincham and you have dealt with my enquiry in a very correct manner, giving advice where necessary in an easy to understand way.

Overall I am happy to have gone through the process with yourselves and would not hesitate to recommend your services to other people.

On behalf of Val and myself, Thank you.

Tony & Val Dovey - Owners in Moraira, Costa Blanca, Spain

Dear Malcolm and Cindy,

Terry and I would like to thank you both for all the help and assistance you gave us, without you both we would have been well and truly ‘up the creek without a paddle’. You guided us every step of the way and without you we would not be the proud owners of our lovely Duplex in Calpe.

We would strongly advise others like us to ask for your help and advice as nothing seems too much for both of you.

So once again – Thank You!

Yours sincerely

Ann and Terry Murfitt, UK – Owners in Calpe, Costa Blanca, Spain

"I own a property in Marbella and had concerns regarding IHT both in the UK and Spain and in 2008 I approached Wincham after reading an article on the internet reference Spanish Inheritance Tax. Their advice and recommendation as to how I could resolve this situation was easy to understand and simple to execute.

Early 2009 I took their advice and following a cost affective fee the arrangements to place my property into a UK Limited Company were made and after a short visit to our local Notary our problems were resolved.

I would advise anyone with the same concerns to speak to Wincham."

Alan Byrne, Owner in Peurto Banus, Marbella, Costa del Sol, Spain

"My wife and I wanted to say how efficient, business-like and friendly we have found Wincham. We sought advice on the best way of holding our Spanish property principally with a view to protecting us from Spanish death taxes. Wincham fully explained the steps that needed to be taken and also very clearly set out the costs. They implemented the plan keeping us informed at every stage and stuck to budget even when additional questions arose. Following completion we are pleased to have appointed Wincham in an on-going administrative role of our UK Limited Company." Certainly from our perspective you did a good job and it is very good to see some glowing accounts which say a lot about the business. We continue to be impressed!

Mr & Mrs Osborne, Owners in Cadiz, Costa de la Luz, Spain

"One of the main assets of Wincham, in particular, is how they approach getting the Spanish legal establishment to carry out arcane procedures without too much resistance. Their manner was always pleasant but business like and they explained in advance all the steps involved in the transaction and there were no long delays in completing the process. All the staff we dealt with were both knowledgeable and the contacts were approachable within the organisation, the on line case management system works well for updating along with email prompts and the system was very useful for document retrieval and may be so in the future."

"Wincham is somewhat more structured in approach and could cope with customers having less familiarity with legal matters. I would recommend Wincham to others."

John-David Matthews, Owner in Soller, Mallorca, Spain

"Just over a year ago my Uncle who resided in Puerto De La Cruz passed away without having a fully completed Will and testimony in Spain and It was stated in a deed of wishes that I inherit his property. At this point the Spanish and UK inheritance tax were so great that it looked like I would have to sell the property to pay all the tax bills but luckily for me my Uncle had been recommended to Wincham."

"It was at this stage that Wincham took over all the legal headaches and they kept me well informed at every stage of exactly what they were doing and guided me through the Spanish and UK legal system. They achieved an end result of 0% UK inheritance tax and only 1% Spanish Transfer tax. This has enabled me to keep the property in Tenerife and enjoy holidays for myself and my family for the foreseeable future. With very reasonable fees well informed advice I am very grateful to Wincham, as I could of lost everything."

Nicky Malley - Owner in Pueto De La Cruz, Tenerife

"May I once again thank you and everyone at Wincham for handling our affairs so efficiently and with great dignity, I will certainly be recommending your services to other property owners in Spain."

David & Jeannette Mortimer - Owners in Benijofar, Costa Blanca, Spain.

Dear Phil,

Thanks again for your great effort in organising the presentation for our club. We had 72 members present and most of them were very pleased with what was said by Malcolm, your M.D. We had so many people who wanted to ask questions but we over ran our time at the restaurant, something that only occurs when our members find the talk interesting and informative.

Everyone who I spoke to afterwards said how much they enjoyed the presentation and wondered where I found such a knowledgeable company. If ever we need your services again I will not hesitate to contact you, Many thanks again.

Pam & Cyril Derbyshire, The No Smoking Club, Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, Spain

Dear Wincham,

On Wed 24th February 2010 Rachael Bayliss your Spanish Tax Consultant attended our Community, El Nautico Suites, Gulf de Sur, Tenerife and spoke to Owners on your IHT saving scheme. I was very impressed with her professional presentation and information presented. Her first class command of her subject and information presented was appreciated by all present. Many Owners expressed how helpful she was in explaining a very difficult subject.

Once again many Thanks,

Roger Butler, President El Nautico Suites, Tenerife.
