Keeping things Fresh!

Things in the Cases Xalo office have been busy recently, especially after the summer break! Not only catching up but we started a new advertising campaign which created a network between all the local estate agents .- a fantastic advertising tool especially when you consider that many properties have been on the market for over a year. I focused in particular on advertising and promoting these properties to other agents who may not necessarily operate in the Jalon Valley who are not only extending their property portfolio but also looking on behalf of their clients.


As many of you will know Cases Xalo now have a newly designed website where all the properties are automatically listed on the front page on a rotating system. Not only does this improve the SEO aspect but it means that all the properties are shown. Why not take a look at www.casesxalo.net and tell me your thoughts.


Due to our new advertising tecniques Cases Xalo are in desperate need of resale villas both in the Jalon Valley as well as Coastal locations including Javea (Xabia), Moraira, Calpe and Benissa Costa. Many of our waiting clients want sea views, 3/4 bedrooms, pool. So if you are looking to sell your property in Spain then contact us today on casesxalo@casesxalo.com or telephone (+34) 96 648 0355.


Talking of resale villas..I have a terraced villa that asbolutely MUST sell now. The property comprises of 2 double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, 1 bathroom, lounge/dining room, kitchen, terrace, private tiled garden, large underbuild, communal off road parking and swimming pool.

This property is for sale with Cases Xalo at just: 110.000 Euros with offers invited.

If you are thinking of selling or if your property hasn't sold or not recieved a viewing in ages then please do contact us and we are happy to come and value your property according to the current resale market. We can also advise you on your presentation style and walk throughs!


PS. Be on the lookout for Cases Xalo's new resale and rental signs soon to hit the local area. The new colour (totally different to the last design) will not only capture your attention but those of all the passers by, increasing the interest and potential for a sale!

HELP! I've broken the loo!!

After a long morning in the office I decided to get handy in my apartment. A number of small jobs were on the 'things to do list' and in a small moment of madness, I decided to tackle that list. The first task was the small cloakroom toilet that had never flushed.....boy do I wish I had just sat down and watched TV!

The main water inlet comes in from the bottom of the cistern and with the calcium build up (as well as my rather delicate hand) I had a massive water feature in my toilet within seconds! Running to turn the water off I decided that maybe I shouldn't have started the job in the first place. But no, my sheer stuborness had risen its ugly head and I thought I'll finish the job I started. Not seeing any other way I phoned my brother!

Turns out I now needed the whole inerds of the cistern, for a very old toilet, so off to the lovely ROCA warehouse people in Benissa. Almost got rear ended by a speeding Englishman on the way which didn't impress the very hungry and tired brother who had been forced into my toilet drama but eventually got there.

The 10 minutes in ROCA resulted in 38 Euros leaving my rather empty purse, and back to the apartment where my brother tried for hours to loosen some odd bolt thing that hadn't been looked at since it was installed about 30 years ago.....oh and the only tool I had on me where some grips! It was like a Crystal Maze Challenge but without the rewards or fun.

After 5 hours of some rather rude language we (ok my brother) and my Dad, who turned up with tools and support, managed to take the toilet cistern to pieces. Easy yes? NO! I then had to change the tube that fed the toilet as it wasnt the flexi tubing and the old style tubes weren't compatable with the new style ROCA float/inlet pipes. Ironically I fitted the flexi tube and float in 5 seconds flat....

The moral of this story is when you have a task to do, act like you have all day, because thats how long it will probably take you! Or if all else fails use a lifeline and phone a friend!
