Here we highlight some potential property bargains in Spain.
The property market in Spain is practically in full recovery following the dramatic crash of a few years ago.
The number of homes sold to international property buyers along the coast is increasing month on month.
Even after Brexit, the number of buyers from the UK remains strong. There are also many buyers from France, Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia.
Many purchasers prefer to buy new build properties as their holiday home.
This has led to many of the half finished developments at the time of the crash now having eventually sold.
There is plenty of new construction going on, particularly along the coast, but there lots of opportunities to pick up a bargain resale property.
It is commonly known that many of the banks hold a great deal of properties on their books.
Over the past few years, the banks have been continually repossessing or taking properties back from clients who could not pay the mortgage.
Where to find property bargains in Spain
Many of the banks now have their own estate agency operation to offer their properties for sale.
For instance, Banco Sabadell´s estate agency is Solvia (www.solvia.es).
This is a good starting point, as Banco Sabadell were hugely exposed following the market collapse, as they lent very aggressively throughout the Costas.
Additionally idealista.com and fotocasa.es are both a good source of property listings. Each have a wide choice of properties from agents and directly from vendors.
We have reviewed the present housing stock to give you an indication of what is presently available in some of the most popular areas.
