From one extreme to the other!

Following on from my last post regarding high end villas we have decided to ensure we have a specialized portfolio for extreme price reductions being offered by vendors at the lower end of the price range.

Since our decision to get back into the property market here in Spain, we have noticed that there is no shortage of bargain hunter buyers. Strangely enough it was previously vendors we were being intransient regarding pricing but now potential buyer are being equally strong with their offers looking for cheap properties in Spain.

The overall market at the moment is hanging on every thread of positive/negative data that is issued. I think we all know that this reccession is pretty deep and unlike anything most people can…

La Zagaleta is the premier address in southern Spain. This exclusive country club boasts the ultimate in security, privacy and exclusivity as this gated community is totally private and cannot be used unless you are a member.

Wild deer roam freely within this exclusive enclave and the country club borders on the Ronda mountain range, however this does not impede your commutability as you are 45 minutes away from the Malage Interbational Airport.

Villas within this sought after location offer our clients something special, with an onsite clubhouse set in 5000m2 of land with facilities such as meeting rooms, restaurants and a whole host of other ammenities.

The Villas currently added to our porfolio are all high specification and set in spacious natural…

Our portfolio of Marbella property is expanding rapidly and we have managed to list a really great value apartment in the Lorcrimar development near Puerto Banus. This is significantly below market value and is close to some of this most expensive apartment developments on this stretch of the coast line.

Lorcrimar developments have always been successful, usually because of the release pricing and proximity to all the ammenities. Their portfolio also included a hotel which has recently been bought by the famous chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, who has turned it into an exclusive boutique residence with a fabulous restaurant featuring his Michelin starred level cuisine.

The other  benefit to owning in any of the Lorcrimar developments is because they rent…

I was lucky enough to attend a fantastic presention involving a truly exceptional eco-development  that will be a ground breaking, benchmark real estate project in Eastern Spain. Using the latest techniques Fundacion Metropoli, the premier in eco-friendly, sustainable developments proposed project will work on many different levels providing superb solutions to the ever changing world of eco-friendly planning.

This is a really exciting opportunity we have added to our growing Marbella property portfolio, situated in a private gated community of only 12 townhouses.  This small urbanization is  exclusive and offers great access to  restaurants, shops and is walking distance to Puerto Banus Marina.

The vendor has spent €100,000´s making this townhouse the epitomy of luxurious living. From designer furniture to a huge jacuzzi on the rooftop solarium. The property has just been reduced from €850,000 to €529,000 for a quick sale. This Marbella townhouse is situated at the entrance to what is known as golf valley, aptly named as 5 golf courses are within 5 minutes of this exceptional residence.

This illustrates my reasoning for my decision to re-enter this market…

The Turquoise development is well known for its high specification property and 5 star on site ammenties. Overlooking lake Tuzla, the aspect of the plot allows you to enjoy the undisputed natural beauty of the region.

One of our investors has given us this property to sell  with a price reduction of £37,500 from the list price, so for £138,000 you can enjoy a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom villa in a development offering everything a holiday home seeker could wish for.

The Bodrum property market is proving to be something of a hit, especially with clients who are sick of the poor sterling/euro currency rates.

After deciding to move forward with our Estepona property portfolio, we have just launched our Marbella  selection. Like I explained in a previous REW blog post, my reasoning for entering back into southern Spain is pretty self explanatory, there have been significant reductions in price across the board and now, I feel is a great time to look at just what the market has to offer.

Medina de Banus is a Marbella property development that has really been given some thought and consideration by the architects involved with its design. Set within the very heart of Nueva Andalucia, 150 residences will enjoy great access to some of the best golf Europe has to offer. Within 15 minutes from Medina de Banus you will have access to 8 courses, the Marina of Puerto…

Further to our companies recent move into the Estepona property market, we have managed to get some of the best value properties within the region. As I mentioned earlier in my REW blog there are some seriously motivated sellers within the Estepona area at the moment, but contrary to popular belief motivated buys are out there too. As long as the price is right.

Costalita is located a short drive from San Pedro in Marbella, on the Costa Del Sol and is community within itself, offering some of the nicest beachside Estepona property available. With great beach bars, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the prestigious Los Flamingos golf course close by there is definitely plenty of benefits to be had for clients who purchase a property here.
