Buying property in Spain

EWN talks with property expert Peter Bowerman about the Costa del Sol property market.

Buyers can still find some great deals amongst our many resale properties with some vendors looking to sell quickly due to change of circumstances. New build properties are also in very high demand again, as they offer buyers some great off-plan discounts. In Andalucia, Property Developers are meeting the rise in demand for luxury new-build properties and the construction of new developments and modern villas is evident all along the coast.

For the best quality of life and long term investment, stick to high demand areas like the “Costa del Sol” with its fabulous infrastructure and best climate in Europe. Especially target areas between Malaga and Estepona such as the popular; La Cala de Mijas, Benalmadena, Marbella, Nueva Andalucia and Benahavis.

Choose a Real Estate Agency that covers the whole coast, so you can use our expertise and experience to recommend suitable areas and properties to view / buy. A Master Agent like ourselves can offer clients just about every property for sale on the coast between Malaga to Gibraltar, and you only need to deal with one of our friendly staff to see everything, no need to contact lots of different Agents and try to juggle individual viewing appointments all along the coast. Allowing us to show you everything available, not only makes life a lot easier for you, but having just one Agent viewing everything with you also helps us understand exactly what you are looking for and gives you the best chance of finding your ideal property. You really do need to spend a little time explaining exactly what you are looking for so we can guide you into the right properties to buy. After we search through thousands of properties looking for the most suitable to your requirements and with our extensive knowledge of the coast and properties, we should be able to find your ideal property quite quickly.

If you’re thinking about selling, we recommend you get your property on the market asap, as we are soon entering one of our busiest selling periods of the year (September & October). We offer the best marketing packages on the coast and offer a lot of services in our standard fee, that other agents do not. Such as professionally presented walkthrough video tour of your property, which is then promoted heavily all over the world via digital marketing and social media.
