After sales in the overseas property industry is usually an after thought for many companies. Many clients have expressed that companies promise them an excellent after sales service, but it is usually a lady on reception fobbing them off with lame excuses.
Over the last few years I have seen new companies springing up everywhere, who specialise in aspects of the so called “after sales service”.
Today I want to cover Furniture Packs abroad.
When completion of your off plan property is imminent, it is time to start thinking about how you are going to furnish your new home. Whether it is for yourself or for rental, choosing the right furniture is essential.
As “overseas property‿ encompasses many countries I have reviewed a number of furniture package sites below, if you know of any others or have had a good experience with a particular company let us know.
Morocco Furniture Packages
http://www.moroccan-living.co.uk/
Built in flash it looks very professional, but is a little lacking on content.
They offer 3 furniture packages;
Marrakesh collection from £ 4482 Solid wood style
Casablanca collection priced at £ 6099 – £ 6499 Rattan based style
Fes collection priced at £ 4899 – £ 5199 Traditional style
Dubai Furniture Packages
There are quite a few companies offering packages, but their sites are sparse and uninspiring. However I came across the company above and was impressed with the range of options available catering for all needs and tastes.
The prices range from AED27,000 £ 4154approx — AED100,000 £15,385approx and delivery and installation is free of charge.
This company is actually specialises in property management, but their furniture packs seemed appropriate for this post.
Spanish Property Furniture Packages
Update: Please see of post on Furniture Packages in Spain a comprehensive guide of what to look out for and who to work with.
Villapac have been established for over a year now and have delivered many furniture packages to owners. I have had good feedback from clients and their service seems to be well received.
Villapac has six furniture collections available at present and prices start from £ 4499
Villapac has showrooms in Bolton, Milton Keynes, Fuengirola and are opening in France.
* Also operate in Portugal and the UK See villapac.co.uk
Bulgarian Property Furniture Packages
http://www.bulgaria-furniture.co.uk/
This site run by My John Kaye details exactly what they do and where they cover.
They offer furniture packs for studios, 1 and 2 beds, in varying levels of completeness.
Prices range from 3074€ to 6420€ but are only valid for the Black Sea Coast, for other areas you will have to enquire.
I will add other companies over time in other property markets, so watch this space….
I’m buying an off plan property in Northern Cyprus. It won’t be built for 2 years but I’m wondering if you know of any furniture pack companies over there. I’ve been quoted between £3,000 – £6,000 for a furniture pack.
Many thanks for your help.

i have purchased a property in morocco tetuan 1 hour from tangiers ,i am after buying a furniture package as developers are very expensive can you help or advise if possible, mark paton
where can i buy a furniture package for morocco any ideas
I have bought flats near M,diq, they are small and I think the furniture packs sound overly expensive. I shall either/both take stuff out myself or buy locally, I have done some research and white goods are a little more expensive than UK, very attractive cane furniture is cheap and strong and has a nice local feel. Morrocan beds seem hard by UK standards.
No information is available from MRI about their furniture packs for Marina Puerto as at Dec 06 and the complex is due for completion in July 07.
It does make you wonder if they will leave it to the last minute, and so leave the owners with little option but to go along with their packs, (and their prices)?
A look around Tetouan did throw up some options, like Mobilia and Kitea for the more up to date styles.
Electricals are available from Marjane, the hypermarket on the outskirts of Tetouan at reasonable prices, not much different from the UK.
Any advice or ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks, Pete.

Hi Everyone,
I went to 4Decor in Marbella for my furnishing pack,and it was amazing, everyone was so helpful and my apartment just looked out of this world when they had finished.. I highly recomend them
Thank Antona
I’m still waiting for my 30% deposit to be returned for a Sania Plage apartment I was buying. I decided to pull out due to a considerable delay in completion. I’m now experiencing what appears to be delaying tactics with regards to the return of my deposit. If others are experiencing the same please let me know.
Thanks
Hi
I have bought 2 apartments in bansko, Bulgaria with MRI……….I payed for the furniture pack 2 months ago; today i got an e-mail to say I still need to pay %20 VAT before it can be installed. I was told the invoice included tax so this was bad news for me.
Now I have lost weeks of income, must pay 1000s more and I have been told
NO REFUNDS!!!
We provide furniture packs for Bulgaria – bansko, sunny beach , pamporovo , borovets and any more locations , and also have a partner in Cyprus specializing in complete furniture solutuions, +44 870 068 3654
It is possible there is a way around the “additional VAT” that seems to have appeared in this case, using the distance selling regulations laid down by the Office of Fair Trading. Full article at;

I HAVE BEEN TOLD TODAY THAT SANIA PLAGE WILL NOT BE GETTING A HABITATION LISCENSE. MRI HAVE OFFERED ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS BUT ALL QUITE PRICEY. WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS HEARD SIMILAR
I bought two studios in Bulgaria from MRI and paid for the furniutre package two years ago and I paid the extra 20% vat in May. the furniture was installed in one without the extra vat and the furniture has not been installed in the other one.
They are not responding to my e-mails does anyone know if MRI are still trading or have they gone bankrupt. I think I have lost my money.
They also installed the wrong furniutre in the other studio
Hi Hiram,
I have also paid 30% deposit for a property in Sania Plage,
I have also paid for a furniture package, however I dont think somehow you are going to get your money back, the reason being that the Moroccan legal system is based on the french system when it comes to buying property, where there
is a notaire involved.
Three years down the line there is still no notaire involved. Only MRI, CFP and a company of Lawyers which all reside in Marbella.
We now know that they are in league with each other.
Good luck I think you will all need it~

Hi,
CR Installations & Interior Design are now offering modern, contemporary furniture packages at affordable prices in Northern Cyprus. Please check out the website!
We purchased a furniture pack from mri when we signed up for our apartment in sania plage. After many delays with the developer, we finally completed. Unfortunately, mri are not answering our emails regarding delivery of our furniture pack and their telephone is an automated service with a recording telling you to email!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
