Property prices in Marbella, Costa del Sol, are deemed to have bottomed out by some who work in property there, making now the ideal time to snap up a bargain.

According to International Property Success, Marbella is being targeted by foreign-buyers from the UK, Russia and the Middle East, and with prices low, there is bound to be a fierce hurry to sniff out the best value properties.

Marbella remains a desirable destination because of its year-round sun and reputation as one of the country’s top holiday resorts. Cautions should still be taken when buying a property in Spain though, and buyers should always consider the location of the property before they buy, especially if they intend to let the property to holidaymakers.

The company added: “There are few better places to look in Spain than Marbella.” Other estate agents are noticing a growing demand for properties in Marbella, thanks to the market there “holding up well.”

Anyone who needs to transfer money to complete a property transaction in Marbella, or any other part of Spain, should use a currency specialist to exchange their pounds into euros. For more information, contact Smart Currency Exchange.
