Those looking for Spanish property bargains can see a good example in Mallorca of how much less distressed properties in the country cost, it has been stated.
Real estate firm Spanishhotproperties.com said the house in question – which would normally be worth 450,000 (£398,000) – is now available for 295,000 as it has to be sold by September.
Such a price might not be such a bargain on the Costas but "this reduction in Mallorca really does represent a true distressed sale", noted managing director of the firm Nick Stuart.
He added that while some overdeveloped parts of Spain have many bargains, it is "really worth taking a closer look" when such an asset becomes available in Mallorca, as these are much rarer on the island.
