SPANISH PROPERTY PURCHASE GOALS

So that the money is not wasted, you should understand what the purpose of this acquisition is and in accordance with this plan the budget and form your requirements.

  • Sea holiday. If you plan to use this place only for holidays, there is an obvious problem - “what to do with it the rest of 330 days a year?” Supervision, periodic cleaning or a trustee will be required for renting out. For such cases, select urban options by the sea, since their safety and care is easier to ensure. Do not forget about the rental demand to take and repel all-year-round maintenance. Also think in advance in which environment you want to relax: families with children, young people, bohemians and social figures ... the region will depend on this. Another need to take into account the need for privacy, as in some cities in the season and not only a rich festive program of festivals, and mass celebrations and peace are incompatible. Not to mention that all the beaches are municipal and fairly crowded.
  • Permanent residence. It is better to take into account the infrastructure, proximity to shops, schools, hospitals, roads and security. There are areas where only our compatriots live. It is worth considering whether you want to live among them or among Spaniards.
  • Rental. A good house on the beach is not difficult to hand over, but if you consider a nearby road junction in a good area and with a picturesque view from the window, your chances will increase. Immediately consider how you will look for tenants and whether you are ready for this to involve third parties or agencies.
  • Investments. This is an extremely difficult area in which one cannot do without a qualified real estate specialist. He must calculate the risks, assess the liquidity of the object and take into account market fluctuations. Plus, you will have a choice - to invest in an already finished building or project on paper, which will be cheaper.

TYPES OF PRIVATE HOUSING BY THE SEA

The villa is a generalized concept that includes a house for a small family (around 500,000 Euros), and a palace with a separate house for servants, the cost of which amounts to millions.

This is a great combination of comfort, privacy and spaciousness.

It is perfectly suited for an extended stay or a seasonal move, but not very practical for a short vacation one owner, as they require care all year round, and for the maintenance of rather big expenses.

During the absence, you will have to look for employees who will take care of the site, provide minor repairs, clean up the pool and rooms. Also relevant is the issue of the protection and payment of taxes. Therefore, the decision to purchase is not very practical, if you are not going to engage in a rental business.

If you have made a decision, then you should understand for yourself what kind of housing near the coast appeals to you more:

  • Attached home. Formerly Casa adosada could only be bought in the provinces. But lately, the demand for such buildings has grown significantly, because it is a significant savings. You have a chance to buy a villa for the price of apartments.
  • Townhouse is the best option, as it encompasses the advantages of private ownership, but the costs for the purchase or construction are minimal, the neighbors will always look after them and regionally they are more often located in the suburban area near the infrastructure.
  • Traditional house. This is a rural type of housing for lovers of history, ancient architecture and solitude. This is a more exotic option than just a mansion on the coast. Casa de pueblo - most often have a small front garden, 2 floors and not quite comfortable in the modern sense of the layout. Immediately count on repairs and communications, which will cost you a penny. Of the benefits - a quiet life, colorful, clean air and beautiful landscapes. Better fit for permanent residence.
  • Macia. Another common form of villas - huge manors with land and farm Сasa rural or as they are called in Catalonia - Masii . They are buried in vineyards, olive groves and are the dream of a wealthy European or investor. Demand is always consistently high, as is the cost in millions of Euros. Often they are converted into a restaurant with their own wine or hotel. The main disadvantage is maintenance costs and the need for management.

The climate here is mild and predictable, since this is the northern coast: the seasons change is clearly visible, the winter is quite cool. The most popular resorts are on the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada .

The property here is promising and in demand, but the area is oversaturated with tourists.

VALENCIA

This is a long strip from the South to the Northern part of the country. It is distinguished by a variety of landscapes and picturesque beaches. Now this is a region undervalued by investors, but the popularity of Dénia and Javea is growing. South of the province of Alicante you can buy a house surprisingly cheap, since the farther in this direction, the more arid and deserted.

MURCIA

The region today makes an impressive investment in the field of housing in order to attract investors and buyers. The prices are reasonable, the infrastructure is good, but the summer is incredibly dry.Another drawback is a little good water.

PRICES FOR HOUSES IN SPAIN

Why is Spain so popular? The answer is simple - cheap.

Small townhouses can afford for 1300-1600 Euro per 1 square meter. The middle class - up to 1800, and prestige from 1800 and above. According to expert analysis, the market continues to grow, so you should not spend time with the decision.

Separately, it is worth paying attention to the so-called banking real estate. Before the crisis hit, there was a boom in mortgage loans. People could not pay them, banks seized the property and are now trading at prices below market prices by 30-40 percent.

You can also arrange a mortgage yourself as a citizen of Russia or another country. To do this, you need to properly prepare the documents and submit it to the financial institution. You will be offered to cover up to 70% of the cost.

The main thing is to find a trustee or agency that can help with the design of the correct package.
