With so much uncertainty in traditional investment markets, this year is already proving difficult for potential investors. By contrast, Spain's property market is off to a flying start with the latest data predicting record property sales for this year.

Last year saw resale property prices in Spain rise by 2.3% according to Spanish News Today, and by 2019 the increase in prices is expected to reach 5.0% per annum.

International Living magazine declared Spain to be the 7th best place in the world to retire, citing Spain's low cost of living and real estate affordability as just two of the reasons that the country still attracts property investment from a broad spectrum of investors.

And you don’t need to be wealthy to own a home in Spain. With prices at their lowest ebb and Spanish property prices & demand on the increase, this is an ideal time to invest in a home on the Costa Blanca.

Property Wire report that the glut of unsold homes built in Spain prior to 2008 is drying up, with 20% of the excess housing stock expected to be sold during 2016 and a similar reduction predicted for 2017.

THE TRUTH ABOUT REPOSSESSED PROPERTY INVESTMENTS | BANK OWNED SPANISH PROPERTY SPAIN’S real estate market was hit particularly hard by the global financial crisis of 2008. In the years beforehand properties were being sold as quickly as they could be built, to north European property buyers keen to secure a place in the sun.

In fact, buying a bank owned property in Spain makes a great deal of sense. Priced significantly below their genuine market value, purchasing a bank owned property at a point in time when prices and demand are rising is a shrewd move.

When the world ran out of money Spain’s property bubble burst and the housing market entered freefall. The depression would last for a punishing 7 years, and by 2015 Spanish property prices had fallen by up to 65%.

But there are many other great reasons to consider buying a bank owned property in Spain, other than a great price.

With the global crash affecting their jobs and income at home, many foreign buyers who had financed their property in Spain could ill afford to maintain their mortgage repayments or meet the expenses required to maintain their holiday home in Spain.

Less risk of negative equity.

Buying a bank repossessed property in Spain with the market at a low price point means you will have less need to worry about negative equity. It’s unlikely that the property will be worth less than you pay for it.

A diverse choice of properties.

Millions of foreign buyers were left in a state of negative equity and, perhaps unsurprisingly, many buyers chose to simply abandon their Spanish holiday properties, with the banks repossessing the vacated stock.

You will find bank owned property of all shapes and sizes in every area of the Costa Blanca. From small apartments to large villas, there is something to suit your requirements from Alicante to Pilar de la Horadada.

The Spanish property market stopped it’s decline in 2015 and has repeatedly demonstrated consistent signs of recovery, with foreign buyers returning to Spain and banks willing to offer mortgages and financial products once more.

Fast chain-free completion.

With no chain, purchasing a Spanish bank owned property is simple & fast, and can be completed within 28 days.

Today’s Spanish property market is very different to the fragile bubble it once was.

Prices are climbing, and the market has a renewed vigour and energy. But that hasn’t stopped a surge of mis-information making it’s way on to the internet.

When you buy a bank repossessed property from Inmo Investments, the bank keeps any and all debt associated with the home. This includes any mortage or other loans, in addition to community fees, taxes, or anything else that may not have been paid.

12

No debt with the property.

Inmo Investments | COSTA BLANCA BANK REPOSSESSIONS

Less paperwork complications.

Before a bank offers a Spanish repossessed property to market, they ensure that the essential paperwork is present and in order.

Buying a bank owned property means you will always get the documentation you need.

Favourable mortgage terms.

If you need a mortgage to buy a holiday home in Spain, you are more likely to be offered favourable lending terms if you arrange your mortgage directly with the bank selling the repossessed property.

No negotiating prices.

Spanish bank owned property prices are fixed.

You know what the final cost of your purchase will be from the very beginning, and you avoid the need to negotiate sale prices completely.

Removing unpredictable elements.

Financial institutions only have a monetary interest in the property and they are more predictable than a private seller. Bank property may require some work, but they make the perfect blank slate.

The ultimate motivated seller.

“When you buy a bank repossessed property from Inmo Investments the bank keeps any and all debt associated with the home”.

The banks need to sell their housing stock to mitigate their financial losses. They will be fully committed to a making a sale succeed.

TEN GREAT REASONS FOR PURCHASING YOUR NEW HOME IN SPAIN Changes to legislation.

The UK introduced changes to the way in which people could access the money locked away in their pensions. Money that was previously inaccessible to many can now be used to invest in a property purchase abroad.

Phone and internet.

Contrary to popular belief, a telephone and internet connection is easy to obtain and affordable too, with packages including free international phone calls and 3Mb internet widely available from just €32 per month.

A growing rental market.

As the economy continues its recovery at a remarkable rate, more people are moving to Spain for work. This is leading to an increase in demand for long term rental properties in a market dominated by short term holiday lets.

Closer to home.

With a median flight time of just 2h 35m from popular European destinations, consistently low seat prices, and everyday all year round flights from many budget airlines; getting to Spain is easier & more affordable than you might think.

Choice of properties.

Without a doubt, the Spanish property market offers potential purchasers and investors the widest possible choice of homes in Europe.

With property available for less than €30,000 it’s easy to get the home you dream of.

Low cost of living.

Food and essential everyday products are cheaper in Spain than in most of northern Europe, and out and about expect to pay €1 for a freshly prepared coffee, and €2 for a large San Miguel: the locals favourite beer.

It’s a buyers market.

For now. Whilst home sales throughout Alicante and most other parts of Spain are on the increase, housing stocks remain at high levels in Spain. Potential buyers can leverage their strong position to obtain the best value.

Affordable dining out.

Eating out isn’t just a pleasant everyday experience, it’s affordable too. A typical lunch (menu del dia) costs around €8,00 per person including a beer, glass of wine, or soft drink; and dinner prices don’t go much higher.

Low fixed running costs.

Fixed utility costs for maintaining a home in Spain are lower than most other European countries.

Council tax in particular can be reasonable, with a moderately sized villa in Ciudad Quesada costing as little as €140 a year.

Political stability.

Spain has enjoyed decades of political stability, and following the geopolitical turmoil affecting many parts of eastern Europe and north Africa, Spain’s Costa Blanca is appearing all the more the attractive investment.
