Southern Spain tops the property charts again and again

The Costa del Sol and Malaga in Southern Spain has been hitting the headlines the past two months; for all the right reasons, with a plethora of much-needed positive and enthusiastic stories.

Most recently we have seen reports state that property prices in the fabulously exclusive resort of Marbella have escaped the fall in house prices with an increase of 2.15 per cent. House prices in Marbella are now the highest in the province, at 3,125 euros per square metre.

Adam Godwin, Marketing Director of Dream Homes Worldwide, comments, “This is great news for the Costa del Sol with many of the developers really understanding how to attract clients in this tough property market. Although Marbella is regarded as a luxurious resort, there are some fantastic property bargains to be found around this area and it just goes to show why Southern Spain is the number one destination again and again for Brits looking to purchase overseas property.

Spain attracts thousands of property buyers every year due to a number of factors that include its fine climes, fantastic lifestyle, cheap cost of living and just two hours flight time from the UK. The Post Office recently stated that fuel prices in Spain are among the lowest in the Eurozone, at 30% lower.

With the majority looking for a holiday home or intentions to retire, it’s clear to see why Spain lures so many to its sunny shores. The province of Malaga has recently just been awarded the most “Banderas Azules” (Blue Flags) in Andalucia for its beaches, in recognition of cleanliness, safety and environmental awareness. Along with the recent report that thirteen of the top secondary schools in Spain are located in the Malaga province, seven of which are on the Costa del Sol, Spain truly is an all round fantastic destination in which to live.

With the current expansion of Malaga International Airport which will handle over 15 million passengers when complete, along with the welcome of direct flights to New York and Dubai, Spain is setting its sights high as a worldwide number one destination.

Adam Godwin continues, “Southern Spain is at present a true buyers market; with top-quality properties from just £92,799, no-where else in Europe quite literally compares to here.
