The British Abroad And Spain Property
Many people from the UK have bought Spanish property over the years
, and Spain is a really popular destination for the Brits. The weather is glorious, the food delicious, it only takes a couple of hours to travel to Spain by air, and Spanish villas and apartments can be bought at really reasonable prices that won't break the bank. Many Brits have bought homes in Spain, including the mainland and areas such as the Costa Del Sol, Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca.There is a large ex-pat community across Spain, and many Brits have chosen to sell up and live in Spain permanently to escape from the UK. This is because the lifestyle and quality of life is so much better than in the UK. With the continual increase in prices for food, energy, cars and so on, Spain offers a less expensive alternative with the cost of living being cheaper there.
There is a wide range of quality homes that can be bought, with many developers and housing organisations offering property for sale in Spain at reasonable prices compared to the UK. Homes and houses in Spain are built to a high standard, and some have pools, verandas, outside social and barbeque areas and cool, spacious living areas with high quality finishes such as marble floors and tiled rooms.
Throughout the media there have been horror stories about Developers who have left unfinished properties and developments, or those who have disappeared after receiving deposits from buyers. Buyers can protect themselves by taking a few simple and sensible measures.
- Do your research about the developer, ask people and get in touch with other purchasers about their buying experiences.
- Don't part with any money or buy off-plan until you have met the developer or seller, and visited Spain to see the development and property yourself.
- Don't feel pushed ito buying or paying a deposit until you have had the opportunity to research the Spanish property and developer and wait until you feel comfortable with the purchase.
- You may also want to go via agents in the UK who specialise in Spain property and who will act as a broker between yourself and the developer or seller. They can also negotiate deals on your behalf and arrange legal and financial issues too resulting in a much smoother process.
Most Brits though have had no problems and buy Spanish property as their second home or main home in their thousands. Although other European property markets have been emerging recently, including Bulgaria and Portugal, Spain remains a very popular destination and there is still a wide, affordable range of property for sale in Spain. There is also a good choice of luxurious Spanish villas and apartments for sale at the high-end of the market for discerning buyers with a higher budget to spend. Spain continues to offer a great choice and availability for Brits who want to escape the UK and take advantage of Spain and all it offers.
