“If you are looking for a great Spanish bargain in a prime location then this is certainly the year to get house hunting in the sun again” says Bob Shepherd of EP Homes
Having been successfully promoting homes in sunny Spain constantly for over 27 years from their permanent U.K. offices, Euro-Prestige have professional first-hand knowledge on the various trends during this time.
Over the last 4 months there has been a dramatic rise in interest and subsequent sales in both their showrooms on the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol. In fact demand is so high, new staff are being taken on to accommodate the flood of British buyers coming back to the market. The reason is very simple to understand, very few new properties have been built in the last 3-4 years and despite a worldwide recession, savvy buyers have still been snapping up the real Spanish bargains in prime locations.
As the stock of quality price reduced properties in prime areas are being sold to clients from mainly Scandinavian countries, there is now a dramatic surge in British buyers again. This could be down to the increase in £ Sterling to 7% of its buying power from a year ago. The Spanish Government also dropping the price of tax on new properties to just 4% which led to a vast amount of previously unsold and reduced new properties being sold.
Certain hot spots are emerging with Torrevieja being very desirable once again, due to its prime coastal location between Alicante & Murcia airports, 4 marinas in the town centre, stunning sandy beaches & vast selection of top quality amenities with a fantastic infrastructure, not least its huge new hospital. There is also a big increase in demand for properties in the Estepona area on the Costa Del Sol, the stunning new Esplanade and various new golf and 5 star beach clubs have made this area a great place to negotiate a genuine bargain.
It is the assumption that this year will be the best financial time to buy in Spain, recessions always come to an end and are cyclical, owning a home in the Spanish sun has never been more affordable or easier and is still top of most people’s wish list for buying overseas.
