There has never been a better time to buy Spanish property

8th April 2009 Print
Los Robles de Los Arqueros You can get a better property deal today in Spain than any time in at least the last five years and that’s a fact. Now is the time to pick up the highest quality Spanish real estate at the best possible prices. Well-located ready-to-move-in-to properties are selling for up to a massive 50% discount off list price and here’s why.

Managing Director of GEM Established, Andy Welland, comments, “As the brakes go on the property boom of the last few decades there are now around one million new unsold homes in Spain. Just as this stock needs shifting, the credit crunch has stifled mortgage applications thus reducing consumer demand - meanwhile the same credit crunch has forced banks to put pressure on developers to sell their unsold properties. All of this points to some incredible price reductions.”

Andy continues, “Spain still remains number one for English language property searches on Google – it’s a safe and wise investment for the future. The longest-established holiday destination in Europe and a proven market for both tourists and permanent migrators, Spain offers the welcome comfort of the known. Whilst off-plan purchasers have all-but disappeared in Spain, a good thing as these short-term investors encouraged artificial inflation of prices, in their place has returned the lifestyle end-user purchaser keen to enjoy the climate, culture, beaches and ease of access offered by Spain.”

The UK has the lowest interest rate (1%) in the history of The Bank of England and the stock-market has burned many a financial finger. Invest in Spanish property now and reap the rewards in times of recovery. Act now before the boat is missed.
