With the gloom and doom merchants writing off Spain in the property pages, why should buyers look at this market? Frankly, it’s more a question of why not.
- Spain is the most tried and test formula for second homes. We’ve been holidaying and buying there successfully since the 1960s and for so many Brits, Spain is home from home.
- It’s a stable market for buyers who don’t want the risks associated with the emerging markets
- English is widely spoken (they are used to us!)
- Low cost of living
- Fantastic climate; the World Health Organisation described the Costa Blanca as the healthiest climate in the world with 320 days sunshine and average winter temperatures of 15 degrees C.
- In many polls, Spain still ranks tops with Brits wanting to relocate abroad.
- It offers something for all tastes and requirements. A very varied coastline for beach lovers and inland for those who want a taste of the ‘real’ Spanish lifestyle.
- Property in Spain remains a solid investment for long term growth.
- Bargains are still to be had, especially inland, which is the current hotspot and likely to see the best capital growth.
- Forget traffic jams. If you prefer to buy inland in Spain you can still be on the coast in an hour. Imagine that on a Bank Holiday in the UK?
