Eurostat, the EU statistics office, reports that the Spanish construction industry is the fastest growing in Europe. It’s certainly exploded back into action on the Costa Blanca, discovered Belinda Weber when she took a tour last autumn. Here she picks out a few highlights…

Our love affair with Spain continues to blossom with many buyers returning to the golden sands of the Costa Blanca. After years of near stagnation, the property market is on the up and Brits are rediscovering the delights of living there. The current strong exchange rate, giving Brits more euros for their sterling, is making owning a holiday home even more affordable.

It’s no secret that the world recession hit the Spanish property market hard. Home owners who had seen property prices steadily rising during the first six years of the century were now faced with a reversing trend. Prices dropped by as much as 70 per cent as Spain became one of the worst-affected countries in Europe.

In the early 2000s property developers in Spain were building almost a million new homes a year. But in 2008, prices started falling and today are around 30 per cent less. Construction projects ground to a complete halt, developers went bust and home owners faced huge debts.

But things began changing 18 months ago and the housing market in Spain began to pick up. According to the General Council of Notaries, there’s been a healthy 16 per cent increase in home sales in June 2014 compared with the same month in 2013.

The construction industry is enjoying a similar boost. Eurostat, the EU statistics office, recorded a year on year increase of over 40 per cent in May last year – putting Spain at the top of the league for Europe. And you can see if for yourself with cranes punctuating the skyline as building works are underway all along the Southern Costa Blanca. Also in patches of the Northern Costa Blanca and inland as well.

“Real estate transactions by British buyers have increased more than 20 per cent according to the British Embassy in Spain,” says Marc Pritchard, Taylor Wimpey Espana’s Sales and Marketing Director. “The market right now is being buoyed up by second home buyers who want a holiday home in the sunshine that they can one day retire to. It’s not so much about investment and flipping properties any more – it’s a lifestyle market nowadays.”

Spain’s Costas have all the ingredients to deliver the promise with their dazzling coastlines, sunshine and relaxed atmosphere. Tourism figures are perky and our love affair with moving to Spain shows no signs of abating. One reason is that it’s all so easily reached from the UK. The airport at Alicante is well-served by budget flights from many British (and European) regions and the coastal towns are connected by the local 332 road and AP-7 motorway making it an easy area to get around.

The Costa Blanca is the favourite location for foreign property hunters, commanding a significant share of all enquiries made on www.viewingtripscostablanca.co.uk  Typical budget for enquiries is between €65,000 and €190,000.

 

Orihuela Costa: Beaches galore

The Orihuela Costa includes the seaside resorts of Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, Villamartin, Campoamor and Pilar de la Horadada. Punta Prima fits the bill for many people looking for a holiday home with an ultimate plan of retiring there The beach isn’t the most beautiful if you’re dreaming of sugar-white sands, but there are 67 Blue Flag beaches to choose from close by. The urbanization is incredibly easy to get to, being just off the AP-7 motorway, opening up the whole coastal region. The extensive La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre is nearby and there are plenty of cafes and bars.

But it’s not just British buyers who are interested in the area – Russians and Scandinavians are also buying. Marc Pritchard explains, “We’ve also had a high level of interest from Russian buyers, with Spain’s golden visa capturing the attention of wealthy individuals from outside the EU.”

A little further down the coast in Playa Flamenca, Home Espana has smaller two-bed apartments – around 70m2 – but still close to the sea, are in the middle of the bracket with prices starting from €99,000 (£79k). This compares with a previously owned two-bed apartment for just under €70,000 through Home Espana.

Tee time on the Costas?

For many Brits heading to Spain golf remains a popular pastime and the climate of Southern Spain lends itself to year-round sessions. Developers continue to tap into this combination and are again building three-bed houses and villas, many with direct access to the golf courses.

At Las Brisas de Alenda (Taylor Wimpey Espana), 41 three-bedroomed terraced houses with landscaped garden and communal pools come with this lifestyle dream. The new builds are all over 110m2 with outside terraces and cost from €145,00 (£116k). Located south of Torrevieja, the Alenda Golf Course is set back from the motorway and provides peaceful surroundings with views over the Sierra de Aguilas. It’s quite a big urbanization but has a club house with a gym and restaurant, as well as a small supermarket.

 

Looking north

Heading further north along the coast, the countryside becomes greener and the towns busier – initially. Properties along the stretch of coastline from Benidorm to Javea command higher prices because historically there has been less supply. Frontline beach properties are at a premium but location does help when you look at resale prices. In Javea, for example, a three-bed villa dating from 1973, with views over the sea might set you back €300,000 (£235k), while a three-bed townhouse just ten minutes’ drive from the beach and more rural views commands an asking price of €150,000 (£118k).

Chris Garwood, proprietor of Select Villa of Moraria says: “We are seeing more properties coming on to the market, together with additional ‘up-market’ new builds, with encouraging signs of new-build activity throughout the area but with only limited land available.” He notes that while the property market is continuing to improve, buyers have high expectations of what they can get for their money. “Our challenge is to manage our clients’ expectations, as only properties demonstrating good value and flexibility in agreed sale prices continue to achieve sales,” he adds.

Villajoyosa: worth a look

Villajoyosa, to the south of Benidorm, is one area enjoying the upsurge in contstruction. A traditional fishing town, Villajoyosa has a wide sandy beach and a promenade along much of its length ending at the port area. The old houses are colourfully painted adding to the town’s charms. It is a handy 20 minute drive from Alicante airport.

La Vila Paradis (Taylor Wimpey Espana) is a front line beach development, consisting of two- and three-bed apartments and a small number of townhouses, all with direct access to the beach. Prices are higher than comparable properties further south, with a two-bed apartment (80m2) starting at €275,000 (£220k) rising to €620,000 (£495k) for a frontline townhouse (156m2).

All the properties have two bathrooms (think sumptuous hotel style) and share the use of a swimming pool and communal gardens. The first phase of building has been completed with buyers already moving in.

What you need to know.

In order to own a property in Spain you must have a NIE – (numero de identificacion de extranjeros), a Spanish bank account to enable you to pay for utilities on your property such as electricity, telephone, and water.

Take into account all the costs involved in buying your new Spanish home, as well as the cost of your property plus IVA (transfer tax), the Spanish equivalent of VAT which is 7%.

Stamp duty in Spain stands at 1 or 2%.

There are set charges related to the registration of the property into your name. These vary but, as a rough guide, its best to allow 10% of the property price for all associated costs.

The types of financing packages  available to purchase a property abroad like the rest of the world have changed considerably over the past few of years, this means that in general banks are less inclined to offer full financing to buy a property. In Spain like most of europe financing can be difficult to achieve, and the pecentage that banks are willing to lend has lessened, in general  bigger deposits are expected .

At Sunworld.es, we work closely with a number of banks and have achieved some fantastic deals on behalf of our clients buying in the Costa Blanca South region ,we have also managed to obtain some interesting financing packages from the banks for clients looking to buy distressed property in this area through Sunworld.

Financing should always be taken seriously, we can recommend a number of English speaking mortgage advisors who can explain the process for obtaining a foreign mortgage and the requirements, and can discuss any costs to our clients. We recommend a Spanish mortgage advisor who is fluent in English.

Our team at sunworld.es can help you decide between a mortgage from your home country, or one held in Spain, as with many things there are pros and cons for each.

Before placing an offer on any property please ensure that if a mortgage is required you have full approval. To obtain a Spanish mortgage the following documentation will be required:

If  you are employed you will need :

ü  P60

ü  Last 3 wage slips

ü  Experian credit report

ü   Last 3 months bank statements

If  you are self employed :

ü  Tax return

ü  profit & loss account

ü  Experian credit report

ü  Your last 3 months bank statements

To be classed as a Spanish resident, to have to spend at least 6 consecutive months in the country. This makes you eligible to pay Spanish taxes.

You will also be liable for wealth tax, this annual tax is based on the value of the property and also any income that may have been made from the property.
