Finding a Spanish property which ticks all the boxes is the overriding aim for most prospective home buyers on the Mediterranean. Leading estate agency Connells and CAM Mediterranean, the property arm of Spanish bank CAM, discuss how to find a beautiful home at the right price and in the right location.

Whether you are looking for year round sunny weather, fabulous golf courses, amazing beaches or a taste of rural life, Spain has it all. No wonder then that so many come looking for their dream overseas getaway on the Spanish Costas. However, finding a property with the right mix of sun, sea, sand and recreational activities, as well as being the right price, can be a challenge.

The recent influx of repossessed properties on the Spanish market means that UK buyers can now bag a bargain home for a fraction of its original price. Of course, finding the right home is another matter entirely. Many buyers are looking for a bit of everything. They want to be close to the beach but also have easy access to the many golf courses that Spain has to offer. Equally, they want to be close to local amenities but not far from the rural beauty and charm of the Spanish countryside. With so many demands at play, how do you find that perfect holiday home?

Thanks to the completion of a range of developments in beautiful unspoilt villages like Sucina, it is possible to find a Spanish home which fulfil a wide range of criteria. Not only this but many of these properties are bank-owned so buyers can pick one up for as little as €87,504. With options like this now open to buyers looking for that ideal Spanish home, there is no need to compromise when buying in Spain.

Hacienda Riquelme

Proving that buyers no longer need to settle on price or property when it comes to buying in Spain, Connells and Spanish Bank CAM are marketing a selection of fantastic apartments in Sucina on the Costa Calida. These luxurious, brand new properties located in the small and friendly farming town are now available for just €87,504 for a limited time only.

The Hacienda Riquelme apartments are situated on one of the best golf resorts to be found on the Costa Calida coastline. As one of the six Polaris World developments in the area, residents in the complex will be able to enjoy access to the golf courses and facilities of the other Polaris World resorts.

Sucina itself has all the necessary amenities including a supermarket, a pharmacy, several banks and a selection of bars, cafes and restaurants but is also close to the countryside and rural Spain. The homes are centrally placed for numerous golf courses so whatever you are looking for in a Spanish home, the Hacienda Riquelme has something to offer.

The apartments themselves are distributed in semi-circular clusters and enjoy access to a private garden. Two-bedrooms properties and penthouses are available, with the latter benefiting from attractive open air terraces. Finished with white washed exteriors, all the homes to buy at Hacienda Riquelme have extensive terraces.

Finance options
CAM Bank is offering buyers some fantastic finance options. For example, buyers purchasing the homes available at Hacienda Riquelme will have access to CAM’s up to 90 per cent loan to value mortgage which is available to buyers on properties up to €180,000, of which 92 per cent of the properties being marketed by Connells in the UK are, and has a repayment term of up to 40 years.

Security and peace of mind
We’ve all heard the horror stories about illegal builds and land grab, but these issues are overcome when buyers decide to make a purchase through a large and reputable Spanish bank and CAM is the only one to have an established property arm, CAM Mediterranean, which is the number one seller of repossessed properties in Spain.

Any doubts about the security of buyers’ investment are overcome since the bank will have done due diligence before taking on the property. CAM Mediterranean can provide the names of reputable utilities and furniture companies if buyers are not familiar with local suppliers and that they have the infrastructure in place to spend time showing UK buyers the local area whilst they are looking for property.

Ticking all the boxes
In today’s Spanish housing market, it is possible to find beautiful homes at knock-down prices in locations which mean they are not compromising either in terms of the property itself or the location. So whether you are looking for something close to the beach, or in the middle of the countryside, developments like Hacienda Riquelme offer multiple benefits and for a fraction of the price.
