Having arrived on the Costa del Sol in 2002, Philip Nott encountered many frustrations when it came to the buying and selling of Spanish property for foreigners. With the hard and fast purchasing of property along the Costa del Sol, Philip found that there was little attention given to clients after the sale had been agreed, and found it difficult to understand how things work in Spain, in order to rectify teething problems. With the arrival of Philips son, Aaron Nott in 2003, the idea for P.S.I – Properties, Surveys and Inspections was born.

Within the company, we have over 40 years of experience in the Construction and Project Management industry, qualified in the U.K and a member of the Chartered Institute of Building (C.I.O.B); we have completed projects on the Costa del Sol, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, UK and Europe. We also run, in conjunction, with the Project Management department, Studio 5b Architects and Designers, which is a Spanish registered, English speaking Architects practice, whereby we have completed projects all along the Costa del Sol and Gibraltar.

Due to client demand and our involvement in the management and design of villas on the Costa del Sol, we also offer a wide selection of plots available, at varying prices and locations. With plots ranging from just over a hundred thousands euros, and climbing into the millions, we have plots that can cater to any individuals needs.

With our knowledge of the construction industry in Andalucia we have also offered additional services to foreign clients who have bought property along the Costa del Sol, to have the opportunity for the properties to be surveyed or snagged by a qualified professional who is independent of the builder and promoters. Since 2003, P.S.I has inspected over 460 properties along the coast and at the same time liaised with lawyers, promoters and builders in order to get the property to an acceptable standard, before the new owners moving in.

If you are looking to buy, or have bought already and you need an independent qualified professional to offer guidance and advice, then why not visit our website.

More and more popular, quad bike tours are a very exciting way to explore and discover the scenic landscape of the Costa del Sol.

Indeed, most of the time equipped with automatic forward and reverse gears, they are a lot easier to ride than motorbikes. No previous experience is needed! The best is that while enjoying yourself riding these monsters on fun tracks, you can look around and contemplate the beauty of nature.

From all the websites that provide these tours, only a few are actual registered companies and have an office. For safety reasons and insurance matters, it is highly recommended to book your tour from a professional adventure company.

To name a few, depending on where you are staying, you have Exploramas in Malaga (70€ / person), Leisure 2000 in Estepona (75€ / person) and The Safari Shop in Marbella (69€ / person, videos available on their Youtube Channel). The Safari Shop has its office in Puerto Banus and can arrange pick-ups in and outside Marbella. Contact them for more information here.

A brand new British owned and managed nightclub has opened its doors for the
first time this week in Benalmadena’s famous ’24 hour square’.

‘JESTERS’ carries a tag line that personifies its confident intention of
being ‘THE PARTY CLUB’. It also introduces a new character to the nightlife
scene on the Costa Del Sol, it’s eye catching logo being a jester called
‘SENOR JINGLES’.

Previously called the ‘Solymar’, the club has undergone both interior and
exterior refurbishment, extensive re-branding and is also set to benefit from a
dynamic new music and entertainment policy. ‘JESTERS’ also offers enhanced
stock lines, some ‘unique in the square’ bar features, a brand new range of
merchandise and a ‘V.I.Pass’ which will benefit both local residents and
regular tourist visitors all year round.

Situated in the heart of the famous ’24 hour square’ in Benalmadena,
‘JESTERS’ is ideally placed to offer a hearty welcome to both local
residents and tourists alike.

Manager, Jon Artus commented:

“ ‘JESTERS’ guarantees a warm welcome to all guests! Not only will they
find the atmosphere friendly and our drinks prices offering excellent value
deals all the time, but the service is also superb. Our carefully recruited
British staff team focus on really looking after our guests and giving them the
respect and attention they deserve. Equally, our music policy is quite simple
– ‘whatever, whenever’. In reality, that means that we cater for any and
all of our guests’ musical tastes – they want it, we play it. We believe
that’s what a great club should be like. We offer a ‘Great Night
Guarantee’ – and we proudly do so.”

For ‘JESTERS’ owners, Richard Lawson and Tony Kaye, this represents a very
significant investment in Benalmadena – but one which they have committed to
fully.

They commented:

“ We have been looking for several years at a development of this nature, but
only decided to commit when we found what we felt to be the right place. To be
able to develop such a great product and a truly credible quality offer which is
different to all the other bars and clubs is exactly what we hoped to achieve.
Crucially, this is the club that offers a party atmosphere for everyone, with
music and service that encourages a wide age group to relax and feel at home –
and enjoy real value for money too. That’s not just through the peak holiday
season, but all year round. “

Whilst the doors are now open, plans for further development also continue –
including a new terrace area and various theme nights and special events to name
but two…

‘JESTERS’, currently trading ‘off season’ opening hours, (on Friday and
Saturday nights), (licensed until 7am), will shortly be moving to a ‘seven
days a week’ opening for the summer. But it won’t stay ‘dark’ after
that… with the right local support, the ‘off season’ opening times will be
extended. Jon Artus also pointed out that ‘JESTERS’ is available for private
functions all year round – it would surely make a great venue for any party!
