Letter from

THE PUBLISHER Dear Reader, Marbella is growing solidly once again, and moving rapidly into a new era of modern construction and international investment which will surpass the activity of prior cycles.

We predict, however, that the future growth will be gradual and healthy, one of very carefully planned construction and attention to detail, as opposed to the quick-turnaround construction often witnessed in the “boom years” of the previous cycle.

With very little new construction having taken place over the last 8 years, there is a strong demand for quality, new villas and apartments.

We are also beginning to witness the comeback of the Spanish buyer, along with the comeback of the Spanish economy.

Historically, the Spanish market represented the very foundations of the Marbella property market, and no recovery is complete without this critically important sector.

The changeover in the municipal government in June 2015 went smoothly, and the new government headed by José Bernal appears to be doing their job well and effectively.

The 2015-2016 winter in Marbella has given us incredibly good weather, and we had similar levels of activity as in the shoulder seasons of Autumn and Spring, a resort city with a true twelve-month season. We can hear Marbella singing again!

In the past couple of years, most of the major international agencies have taken a foothold in Marbella. The biggest and most recognizable

of them all, Savills, with over 700 offices worldwide, chose Panorama as their Marbella associate office in 2014, followed by Knight Frank, Hamptons International, and a few others all associating themselves with other established reputable agencies in Marbella.

Our multi-lingual sales team share my family’s values of service to our clients and dedication to our profession. As always, we certainly hope you enjoy our magazine, which we produce in-house. Special thanks to my son Alex and my daughter Katinka, who have led the publication of this magazine, ably assisted by our staff Elena Escribano, Carolina Alaniz, and Irene Sierra. Cheryl Gatward of Next Idea did an amazing job in a very short time, putting everything together and getting it off to the printer!

MARKET REPORT 2016

By Christopher Clover, FRICS

Christopher Clover has been writing about Marbella property for 46 years.

The Marbella property market is now well into its fifth straight year of recovery, after the bubble burst at the end 2007 and 2008.

The number of residential sales in 2015 increased by 9.83 % over the sales volume of 2014 and has almost achieved the volume of the pre-crisis year of 2006, and prices are starting to climb once again in Marbella’s most in-demand residential areas.

There is a similar scenario throughout all of Spain, although recovery on a national level is a couple of years behind Marbella whose “head start” to recovery is a result of its “multi-country” source market - whereas the national market is mainly comprised, as one might expect, of Spanish buyers and sellers.

As a result, it is safe to say that the property

market recovery in Spain, in this current economic cycle, began in Marbella.

Key market Indicators 1. Sales Volume As one can see from the accompanying chart, the number of sales in Marbella reached 4,390 properties sold in 2015, less than one percent short of the number of sales in the pre-crisis boom year of 2006 when 4,432 properties were sold.

It is interesting to note that the rate of increase of sales in 2015 over the prior year has dropped compared with the increase of sales in 2014 over 2013, which was an astounding 28.3%. The explanation is a simple one: there existed a strong pent-up demand

for properties in Marbella with buyers waiting for the bottom of the market before buying.

During 2012 and 2013 it became evident that the market bottomed-out in 2011 and the bargain-seeking buyers rushed to purchase properties before prices started rising once again. With most of that pent-up demand satisfied, the rate of growth in the number of residential properties sold in 2015 compared to 2014 has consequently dropped to what still remains a healthy 9.83 %.

extensive records, show that prices in Marbella today are about 20% below the peaks, with notable exceptions of some of the best-located properties which have held their prices far better than properties in other locations, and which are only between 10 and 15% away from market peaks.

3. Prices increasing on a national level

2. Prices still at affordable 2004 levels

Prices rose 4.2% overall in Spain last year, with new homes rising 5.8% and resales 4%.

While, according to all published indicators, prices are increasing again, price levels on a national basis are still 28.4% below the peaks (source: www.registradores.org) at approximately 2004 levels. Panorama’s own

Panorama (and are adjusting their asking prices), raised them rather than lowering them.

This is in stark contrast to a general trend of price decreases over the last eight years.

4. Bank foreclosures are significantly lower The number of permanent residences foreclosed by banks nationally, dropped by 13% in 2015 after year by year rises since 2008 (source: www.ine.es), another clear indicator of a market coming back to good health.

5. Number of residential construction projects in Marbella Statistics from the Colegio de Arquitectos of Malaga (see chart above) show the number of approved residential construction projects, as well as architects completion certificates issued for finished residential construction projects, from 2010 right through to 2015.

These are additional indicators of the strong upturn in the market.

6. Tourism still growing strongly Real estate sales are intimately linked with quality tourism. Conflicts or outright wars in many countries outside of Europe, the depreciation of the Euro against the Dollar

and Pound Sterling, plus the attraction of the great weather in Spain has resulted in the entry of tourists into this country, growing in 2015 at a pace of 4.9%, closing the year with a record 68.1 million tourists (source: www. ine.es).

A further announcement in February stated that a record total of â‚Ź67,386,000,000 was spent by foreign tourists in Spain last year (source: pressdigital.es, 5th February 2016).

On the Marbella level, the tourism figures are very interesting (see chart far right).

Especially notable is the increase of the Spanish tourism market. As we have said many times over many years, an upturn in tourism always precedes an upturn in property sales.

Finally, one should take into account that Marbella is the pioneer of a new type of tourism: residential tourism - based on second home ownership, which started in the mid-fifties, and is not included in the official statistics for tourists visiting Marbella.

This has given an entirely new dimension to tourism in this area, and is one of the reasons why there are so few hotels, compared with most other resort cities throughout the world where their tourism is largely hotel based.

Reasons for the growth of the Marbella Property Market Every indicator, whether national, regional, or local, shows the same improving market trend. The following factors play the key roles in the recovery of Marbella’s property market: • A quality city, a twelve-month season.

Marbella continues to be a low rise quality resort city with a real twelve-month season, which has little competition elsewhere in the Mediterranean, where many coastal cities and towns are simply continuous concrete jungles that roll up the pavements at the end of October until April of the following year.

Marbella’s winter population is in excess of 275,000 residents, counting the official population and the “floating” unregistered population together, exploding to around three times that number in peak season.

The modern Malaga airport is only 35 minutes’ drive from Marbella and offers direct flights to 125 worldwide destinations every week. The fast train, the AVE, puts Malaga City within two and a half hours of Madrid. Marbella is an ideal spot from which to take trips to the white villages of Andalucía, Seville, Córdoba and Granada with its ski resort, Sierra Nevada. Portugal

is only 4 hours’ drive from Marbella. And all of Morocco, across the Straits of Gibraltar, is just a short ferry trip away.

Marbella ticks most of the boxes for many people due to the above factors and many more. It doesn’t for others, who prefer the Balearics or other prime resort areas. And that is as it should be.

• A low Euro. The Euro continues its low against Pound Sterling and the Dollar, making Marbella area real estate relatively more affordable for those who count their assets in other currencies.

• Competitive pricing. There remains an ample inventory of resale properties, especially but certainly not exclusively below €1,000,000, which are highly competitive in price, as prices take time to catch up with the larger number of sales.

• Low mortgage rates. With interest rates at record lows plus fierce competition among Spanish banks, there is plenty of motivation for purchasers to obtain mortgages. Typical 20-year variable rates as of April 2016 are Euribor (nominal rates, as of writing at 0%) +1.70% and fixed rates from 2.75%.

• High yields when compared to other types of investment. With interest rates heading towards negative, and a bear stock market, real estate investment becomes markedly more attractive, especially if combined with the incredible lifestyle change of living part of the year in Marbella.

• A safe haven. Marbella is considered a safe haven of quality within the European Union. This factor alone attracts hundreds of millions of euros of real estate investment every single year by investors from less secure parts of the world, in addition to buyers from the classic markets within the European Union itself.

Who is buying?

In the fourth quarter of 2015, buyers from the E.U. made up more than 60% of all foreigners purchasing properties. Once again the British were the largest single group, with over 30% of the total number of foreign residential purchasers in Spain (see chart above). In Marbella, the foreign purchaser easily represents 80% of the overall property market.

What is selling?

All types of properties. Marbella provides an amazing variety of high-end as well as less expensive properties. It is fascinating that there can be mansions for sale literally walking distance to Puerto Banús, in high quality residential neighbourhoods, priced at several million euros, co-existing with beautiful, but lower level homogenous areas nearby, also walking distance to Puerto Banús, priced from €250,000. Sales are increasing across the board and in all categories, from the least expensive to properties priced over €10 million.

High-end market is back with strength. One clear trend is that the number of “highend” property sales -which we define at €4,000,000 or above- is accelerating. We have estimated that there were over 100 sales in the greater Marbella area over €4 million in 2015, easily 30% above the prior year’s sales in that category.

New or refurbished properties. Many buyers are not very keen on undertaking refurbishments themselves with respect to properties built more than 10 or 15 years ago. But those who want to own properties in certain areas have limited choice, since there has been very little new construction in the last 8 years, and it will be another year or two before the supply of newly built or refurbished properties increases.

While there are buyers for older properties, these are mostly buyers or investors (either local or international) very familiar with the Marbella property market, seeking to refurbish properties either for their own use, or for resale for a profit. Scores of smaller companies or investors have been searching out these older properties to refurbish over the last three years.

Other market insights The building cranes are up again, the wheel has turned, the cycle starts anew.

1. Prime land and new projects Another recent trend in Marbella is the re-emergence of investment groups from different parts of the world– most of them well known, some of them private consortiums – studying the market, and many of them buying up the best building sites available.

Virtually all of the prime, fully-zoned sites have been sold over the past two years, including what is effectively the last major beachfront development site on Marbella’s Golden Mile, a well-known parcel of land to the west of Marina Puente Romano called “El Ancón”, where planning for an ultra-modern beachfront residential estate of about 65 apartments and 5 villas has already begun.

Further information may be obtained by contacting Panorama.

Other major investment purchases have been 170,000 m2 of beachfront land in the eastern part of the municipality, between the Los Monteros and Don Carlos Hotels, by Platinum Estates of Hong Kong, for the construction of a five-star luxury hotel resort with 600 linear beachfront metres that will also include “branded” exclusive villas, a beach club and a commercial area – a planned investment of €200 million; Urbania’s brilliant development “Icon” of 28 villas and 160 apartments in Santa Clara; new developments by Taylor Wimpey, one of the strongest developers on the Coast today, selling off-plan very successfully; and various projects led by the Norwegian Solvilla group.

The best of the remaining groups of single family plots have also sold to developers, large and small, who are planning different projects of mostly gated communities comprising from five to thirty villas.

In summary, there are about 20 new projects starting in Marbella, with easily another dozen or more in the pipeline.

“The entire Marbella coast and westward is rapidly moving into a new era of property development.”

2. Betting on the top-end of the market The trend towards building for the top-end of the market is clear. Not only has there been a tremendous investment in real estate over the last two to three years in Marbella, but also there has been a big vote of confidence for the highest-end of the market on the Coast west of Marbella. In late 2014 Sotogrande was sold to the top U.S. and European funds, Cerberus Capital Management and Orion Capital, with plans just now being finalized to produce stunning projects destined to appeal to the most wealthy buyers. Further details are available through Panorama.

Also, in January of 2016, La Zagaleta (U.K.) Ltd., a subsidiary of the company owning perhaps the most exclusive country clubstyle residential estate not just in the Marbella area but in all of Europe, purchased the Valderrama golf club and nearby development land for an initial investment of €40 million with an additional €200 million of planned development and investment over the next decade.

10

This is clear, hard evidence backed by big money, that the entire Marbella coast and westward is rapidly moving into a new era of property development.

3. Marbella’s next General Zoning Plan In November of 2015, Marbella’s 2010 general zoning plan was nullified by the Spanish Supreme Court, an action that caused the municipal general zoning plan to revert immediately to the old 1986 plan.

Although this came as a big surprise, this is not particularly bad news: the 2010 plan was extremely difficult to manage from an operational standpoint, including the necessity to analyze the “urbanistic charges” in many urbanizations and the requirement for compensations from developers of these affected properties, in addition to the many unjust and conflictive legal situations arising from that plan.

While a new general plan is being drafted (which will take three to four years before final approval), intelligent provisional measures are being taken by the Town Hall

Marbella’s Longest Established Real Estate Agency

Marbella Property

MARKET REPORT 2016

“There still remain some wonderful buys in all price categories but especially below €1 million.” to protect the interests of those owners particularly jeopardized by this nullification, including specific modifications to the 1986 plan which, once approved by Marbella’s Town Hall, can then be sent for approval to the regional government.

There is a consensus among top experts in urbanistic issues that the annulment of the 2010 plan will not affect most end-buyers of real estate, other than to eventually reduce the supply of new properties for sale over the next three to four years. In fact, few potential buyers are querying this event as they expect to be protected by their lawyers as well as their agents in order to avoid purchasing properties with significant issues or risks.

To put this issue in perspective, only 15% of the properties in Marbella are affected by this change (Diario Sur, March 4th, 2016).

While many developers have been affected by not being able to develop their land until the new general zoning plan is approved, others are now in a position to build more than they could under the annulled plan or build where they previously could not build at all. Since

approximately 17,000 living units can still be built under the 1986 plan, according to the Town Hall (Diario Sur, March 13, 2016), it certainly does not appear likely that Marbella will run out of development land in the next three or four years. Most seem to agree that the end result of the new General Plan will be positive and the interim, manageable.

Future predictions and trends • Is Marbella in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market? The truth is somewhere in between, and it also depends on the price category and location. While most are competitively-priced, we find that the price of some of the most expensive properties on the market to be overly optimistic. There still remain some wonderful buys in all price categories but especially below €1 million, where we anticipate that the stock of resale properties will last for some time to come, except for the best-located properties.

• Will it take less time to sell? While a wellpriced, very well located property can sell within weeks, selling a property in Marbella An International Associate of Savills

Marbella Property

MARKET REPORT 2016 Land prices in all categories have already increased and are set to increase further.

• Spanish buyers are coming back. The Spanish buyer will gradually return to purchase property in the Marbella area, as the national economy continues its improvement over the coming months, as they have been returning already as tourists (see chart).

in the best of times can still take a year or more, depending on its location, condition and the applied pricing strategy. For anyone wanting to sell quickly, there is a market to buy it (unlike five years ago) and the sale is only a question of having a good agent who can advise you on the correct asking price and who knows how to get the property quickly on the market.

• What is a good investment? When one remembers that most prices are still at 2004 levels, we believe that any property bought at a fair market price today in Marbella will stand to give excellent capital appreciation over the next years.

• Both supply and demand will increase. The trend towards the construction and sale of properties in all price categories in the greater Marbella area will continue unabated.

• Prices will continue to gradually increase.

Especially with properties in the €1,000,000plus bracket where there is less supply. As demand increases and supply shrinks, prices will gradually increase.

• Land prices will continue to increase. Well priced plots in the best areas of Marbella will become harder to find as the supply dwindles.

12

• A new era that pushes the limits of architectural design. Amazing, creative new projects will be put on the market in 2016 which will result in pushing Marbella towards a new era of real estate. One must remember that there has been very little new construction in Marbella for the last 8 years.

• The Iranian market. The newly-opened Iranian market will start purchasing in Marbella, which has been historically very popular with the Iranians for decades.

• A gradual market improvement. Even though Marbella has led the property market recovery in Spain due to non-residents snapping up bargain properties since 2012, we do not expect a property “boom”, but a more gradual, balanced, healthy market improvement as we have seen in 2015 and as 2016 appears to be shaping up.

Panorama opened its first office in Marbella in 1970, on the firm premise that this area was so special that it would, with luck, good governance and continued good planning, remain so and become one day, perhaps the most important resort city in Europe. Nothing has been more fascinating than to witness first-hand the evolution of this magnificent resort city, and the beauty it has held in each of its stages of growth. After 46 years, and the ups and downs of several cycles it looks to us as if Marbella has come a long way towards realizing its full potential.

Panorama gains prestigious accolade REAS, the Costa del Sol’s largest real estate agency association, recently awarded Alex Clover of Panorama with its prestigious “Biggest Sale of the Year” award. Over 300 guests were present, including representatives from the Town Hall, and Marbella’s Mayor, José Bernal.

Savills & Panorama

A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP Savills, with over 700 offices around the globe, is one of the world’s most distinguished and powerful real estate networks.

By Alex Clover Panorama is proud to say that its exclusive association in the greater Marbella area with international real estate firm Savills has been a success and provides important added strength and market coverage to both companies.

Why Panorama chose to join forces with Savills Panorama has been a real estate leader in Marbella for decades, on par with the best real estate agents in luxury markets around the world. As strong brands are always drawn to one another, it is only natural that companies prominent in their respective markets would wish to collaborate closely, and in 2014 Panorama and Savills formalised a relationship in which their shared values and resources are harnessed.

Savills knows “real estate”: many of the offices bearing the Savills name are owned

by Savills themselves, making Savills a real estate agency and not just a brand. Almost all of the Savills team leaders have at some point worked directly in real estate sales. We speak a common language, and Savills has encouraged our ideas and contributions from the very beginning. Therefore, Panorama identifies not only with the way Savills works and their professional values, but also with

the exceptionally high level of professionalism and customer care that Savills looks for in its associate agencies.

What this collaboration means to Panorama clients Although Panorama enjoys a highly respected position in Marbella, which is of substantial value to Savills, the association greatly broadens Panorama’s international scope and capabilities – increasing the international exposure of our property inventory. There are now over 600 Savills agencies and associates around the world working as satellite offices of our company, which enable Panorama to market Marbella properties to any of the 48 countries where the Savills offices and associated agencies are located. Naturally, it also means that we can offer first-class real estate in the most desirable spots around the world to our clients.

Together, the international recognition of the Savills brand and the local recognition of the Panorama brand in the greater Marbella area act as a guarantee of quality, service and know-how that focuses on Marbella but carries the strength of a global network behind it.

Savills is an international real estate advisor established in London in 1855. Savills enjoys a rich heritage with unrivalled growth and has over 700 offices and associates throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East and is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

It’s unusual to find a newly-built home that stands out from the harsh coldness of many of its modern peers. Harmony and balance combine to give this property of over 1,000 m2 built a unique feel that is exceptionally rare. If we add to that its location on over 5,400 m2 of prime land in the foothills of Marbella’s Golden Mile, within the desirable gated community of Cascada de Camoján, and its magnificent sea and mountain views, a true gem emerges that must be seen, and felt, to be appreciated.

“...a true gem emerges that must be seen, and felt, to be appreciated.”

An impressive entrance driveway takes you through a terraced Asian garden, leading to a magnificent Indonesian front door with koi ponds on either side. The front door opens up to reveal the main level, with a stunning double-height entrance hall, and a spacious living room with gas fireplace and open-plan kitchen with dining area, all south-facing and enjoying magnificent sea views.

All these rooms, as well as a beautiful study, have direct access to large covered terrace with water

features, outdoor natural gas fireplaces, and the property’s signature, a unique heated saltwater pool.

The magnificent view out to the Mediterranean over the pool can also be enjoyed from the master bedroom, also on the main level of the property.

The master suite is like the rest of the property, designed with peace in mind, and has plenty of unique features, including its own natural gas fireplace, “his and her” walk-in wardrobes and private terraces.

Finding & Buying A PROPERTY

By Christopher Clover

Finding a property The Internet has become by far the most useful tool for those looking to buy properties and a net-based property search is usually the first step taken by any potential buyer.

But, is it the right second step, once one sees a few desirable properties on several sites, to contact and make appointments with all the agents offering those properties, agents you don’t know or may not have even heard anything about, some of whom do not even identify themselves correctly on their sites?

Perhaps another option to consider, even while looking at everything on the net, might be to seek out as a first priority a really qualified, experienced agency to work with that has a large direct inventory of the kind of property you are looking for. There are several great agents in Marbella to choose from, many who have outstanding credentials, long experience, excellent product and area knowledge, and adhere strictly to the agents’ code of ethics. Additionally, choosing such an agent will assure that they pull out all the stops to spend plenty of time with you to get to know you and your special requirements as well as possible, sharing with you their market knowledge and recent comparable sales actually made, and who will eventually find just the right property for you. If it’s not in their own inventory they will go out and find that special property through their colleagues in other agencies on a commission-sharing basis.

Choosing a lawyer Panorama always recommends that purchasers of property in Spain retain a

qualified solicitor to represent them and qualified financial advisors to deal with tax issues. Once you have made a decision to purchase property here, even though you may not have found that special property yet, establishing a relationship while you are in Marbella can be immensely useful if you start negotiating a purchase after returning to your country of residence, as it is clearly more difficult to choose a lawyer long distance.

Getting the basics into place Having a lawyer, NIE number (a number issued to foreigners in Spain) in place, and bank account opened strengthens a buyer’s position when negotiating as he or she can put down an immediate deposit if an offer is accepted, since all the other details will have been taken care of already.

Negotiating a purchase A good agent will also be immensely helpful to you in negotiating the purchase of a property you are interested in buying. It is important to remember that if your offer is continued on next page >>

Property Purchase Costs TRANSFER TAX (I.T.P.)

Scaled at

Payable by the buyer for the purchase of any Real Estate (villas, flats, land, commercial premises, garages), provided the vendor is not a developer or normally trading in the business of resale properties. If the “minimum fiscal value” of the property as per the Regional Government, is greater than the price, then the minimum fiscal valuation applies: 8% is applicable up to the amount of 400,000€ or 30,000€ in the case of garages except those belonging to the dwelling and with a maximum of two; 9% is applicable to the amount between 400,000€ and 700,000€ or between 30,000€ and 50,000€ for garages; 10% is applicable to the amount exceeding 700,000€ or 50,000€ for garages.

8% 9% 10%

VAT AND STAMP DUTY

Villas, apartments, or a garage that is annexed to an apartment or villa, where the vendor is a developer, promoter or habitual trader for brand-new properties.

First sale or resale of parcels of land, and for the first sale of brand-

new commercial premises where the vendor is a developer, promoter or habitual trader or a company.

NOTARY AND PROPERTY REGISTRY FEES The cost increases according to the number of pages or complexity of the title deed, and value of the property.

10% + 1.5% 21% + 1.5% +/- € 3,000

MUNICIPAL ADDED VALUE TAX (PLUS VALÍA) This can be as little as a few hundred Euros or as much as many thousands of Euros on a property with a lot of land that has not changed hands in many years. It is a tax by the town hall based upon the increase in the index value of a property between the year of purchase to the year of sale. This tax corresponds, by its nature, to the vendor who is responsible for its payment, unless otherwise negotiated.

LAWYER’S FEES These are in the order of 1% of the selling price, more or less, depending on the lawyer and the price of the property.

SUMMARY The total official costs involved in purchasing a constructed residential property should be around 10-11% for resale properties or around 12% for new properties if VAT is paid on the purchase price, plus lawyer’s fees.

Finding & Buying A PROPERTY

too low it will not engage the interest of the seller, and might actually prove counterproductive.

An articulate offer will generally capture the attention of a vendor. We recommend getting all your points together, rather than negotiating “piece meal.” Make your offer in writing if possible (of course, subject to contract). Points to include are not only the price, but also the deposit amount and when you are prepared to pay it, when you are prepared to complete the transaction, what you understand to be included in the price (for example furniture and fittings if applicable), and an often neglected point – that all technical equipment and installations should be in good working order. Also, if you have a second choice property you should certainly advise the vendor of this fact.

Your lawyer can also be consulted during the negotiation to ensure that the terms of the offer meets his or her legal criteria, and on occasion will also become actively involved in more complex negotiations.

The purchasing process Actually purchasing a property in Spain is a relatively straightforward procedure.

The “last word” in property ownership

30

is the property registry, which will show immediately if the seller owns the property free of liens and encumbrances. Most frequently, unless an immediate payment of the full purchase price is made, a private contract of purchase is drawn up wherein the details of the purchase are reflected – the legal description of the property, purchase price, form of payment, date of completion, date of possession, etc. Upon signing the private contract, a payment on account of the purchase price is always made which can vary substantially according to the terms of the sale and the date of completion. A quite normal deposit for completion within 30 to 60 days would be 10% of the agreed purchase price.

New properties which are unfinished obviously are paid for over the construction period, and all payments on account before finishing must be guaranteed, according to LAW 38/1999, by a bank or insurance company: if the property is not finished by a certain date, a purchaser has the right to reclaim the monies paid, plus legal interests.

Additionally, another law obliges the property developer to arrange a ten year insurance policy with respect to any basic building defects with the purchasers as beneficiaries.

When the entire purchase price is paid for the property, the seller will issue the public deed of conveyance (escritura) to the purchaser, free of liens and encumbrances.

This deed is issued before a Spanish Notary, is passed from the notary to the tax office to be assessed for Transfer Tax if the property is a resale or second hand property, or assessed for Stamp Duty if the property is sold directly by the developer. It’s then presented to the Property Registry for inscription. A provisional inscription in the registry is made immediately upon issuance of the deeds.

This is a place for kicking back and breathing a lighter air.

A Beachfront Mansion It is extraordinarily rare for one of Marbella’s finest properties to be placed on the market for short and medium term rental. Such is the case with this amazing beachfront mansion, built recently to the very highest specifications and in the best location of Marbella’s Golden Mile.

This palatial, front line beach paradise is located next to the Marbella Club Hotel.

The property’s main gate opens to reveal a large and spectacular entrance driveway surrounded by lush tropical greenery and a beautiful central fountain.

This magnificent home consists of four separate buildings on a large beachfront plot of 8,000 m2. The main house, a guest villa, a further beach house with its own separate pool, as well as a separate staff house make up over 3,000 m2 of memorable living spaces.

The entrance is as grand as you might expect, with two beautiful staircases leading up to 3 guest bedrooms, and further to the grand master suite which occupies the entire top floor of the mansion. The staircases adorn the sides of the oval entrance hall where the crystals of an antique chandelier playfully bounce light around the tall ceiling.

Featuring nine guest bedrooms altogether, with a further three staff bedrooms, the property has been built for entertaining with elegance and style.

The large living room and a cosy TV room both look out onto a covered terrace, and beyond to the amazing manicured gardens and the Mediterranean. The main swimming pool is a feature unto itself, with its cascading waterfalls and a grotto with built-in whirlpool which leads to the outdoor bar and chill-out area.

Stepping out of the pool, residents enjoy direct access to Marbella’s most exclusive beach, with excellent beach restaurants all within easy walking distance, as well as the full facilities of the Marbella Club hotel just a few steps away.

One would be amiss to describe this extraordinary home without mentioning the spa. Few homes in the world can offer the luxury and relaxation of a spa such as this, featuring a large whirlpool tub and an

46 Years IN MARBELLA MORE THAN A CENTURY IN REAL ESTATE! You might say that no-one knows the property business better, for not only is Panorama the longest-established real estate agency in Marbella, its owner Christopher Clover continues a family tradition in real estate that goes back over 110 years!

Marbella’s Longest Established Real Estate Agency

Burtt Byron Clover in 1904

His father, the late Williston ‘Bill’ Clover, established a highly successful estate agency in Charlottesville, Virginia, named Clover Realty that specialised in the sale of farms and important historical estates. He opened his agency in 1952 and during over forty years he built a reputation as one of the most prominent professionals in his field within this prosperous historic town surrounded by the lovely countryside of Albermarle County. The birthplace of Thomas Jefferson, it is an area known for its exclusive properties and the prestigious University of Virginia – from which Chris graduated with distinction in 1969, as did his son Alex, in 1998.

But the tradition goes back even further.

Though Bill Clover was a remarkable man in his own right – an accomplished athlete, Black Angus cattle farmer, tennis professor, a

Bill Clover, Chris’ father, in 1937

designer and builder of beautiful homes, and a property developer – he too built his business on foundations bequeathed by the previous generation. Bill’s original partner had been his dad, Burtt B. Clover who opened his first real estate agency in Chicago in 1904, and went on to an important role in the development of the town of Itasca in the newly expanding suburbs of Chicago in the early 1920’s.

Having helped to put this once small village on the map, B. B. Clover was a seasoned real estate professional well-versed in both the development and sale of private homes at a time when Frank Lloyd Wright was also making a name for himself in Chicago. As one of the very first golf course developers in the United States, B. B. was a design pioneer in his own right.

Clover Realty is still a prominent name in Virginia real estate, but when Bill Clover bought a Washington D.C.-based agency called Panorama International in 1968 he immediately started laying the foundations for an unheard of expansion across the Atlantic. In fact, Panorama had been the first

Marbella’s Longest Established Real Estate Agency

The Clover Realty Team, 1960

agency to offer international properties and developments for sale to investors in the US, with a focus on Mexico, the Caribbean, France, and Marbella where Bill commenced a brave new venture by opening an office in 1970.

The very first Panorama advert, 1970 “Carefully Selected Listings in Spain”

Marbella was already internationally renowned as a luxury ‘jet set’ resort destination at the time, having earned a fame that spread beyond Europe to the United States. “The original idea was to primarily service American buyers and investors interested in this area,” recalls Chris, “but soon we had built up an international clientele based mostly in Europe that reflects the cosmopolitan nature of Marbella”. Chris moved here in 1973 with his first wife Kirsten to head the rapidly expanding new ‘foreign office’, and it didn’t take long for him to fall in

love with Marbella himself and set down roots here. “Those were the days when you had to ring the operator in Malaga and sometimes wait all day to get an international call through. The main link to the outside world was our cherished telex machine” recalls Chris.

“We were the first real estate agency to organise property inspection flights to the Costa del Sol, bringing in clients gathered through exhibitions and our extensive associate network in the United States at the time, and when people saw the setting, the lifestyle and the Andalusian culture they too were sold.” On one memorable occasion, Chris and his sales team received a charter plane of 120 people comprising 75 ‘buying units’ to whom they made 49 sales that week – mostly of apartments and villas in Nueva Andalucía and Bahia Dorada in Estepona, priced at between $5,000 and $30,000. “My father showed great foresight in targeting Marbella as the jewel in Europe’s second home market” says Chris.

inspection tours.

“We have always worked very hard but we were also always accompanied by a lot of good luck,” says Christopher. “During the mid-1970s we were introduced to members of the Saudi Royal Family and other important individuals from the Middle East and sold them and their friends many properties during those years.” Since then Panorama has become a name synonymous with quality real estate in southern Spain.

The late Bill Clover, Chris’ father, 1985

Two years after Chris arrived, the worst recession since the war forced the Washington office to close. Brother Bill took over the Mexico City branch and became a top consultant in property development and financing, active in over 65 countries. Chris and his first wife Kirsten stayed on in Marbella to develop the local business, already well underway, enjoying focusing on higher-end properties and clients rather than the property

44

Bill is still very active and his company is currently based in San Antonio Texas. Chris and Bill still exchange clients and advice on a regular basis.

From early, pioneering beginnings in Chicago through the exclusive estates of Charlottesville, Virginia, to the successful modern luxury resort and real estate firms in San Antonio and Marbella, the Clovers have built on a wealth of experience and know-how to contribute to the development of their home markets.

Marbella’s Longest Established Real Estate Agency

Chris and work friends, 1984

A name synonymous with Marbella real estate The facts are impressive and speak for themselves, providing the kind of reference to longevity and success that only very few real estate companies can boast. It is fair to say that the Clovers have real estate coursing through their veins, but even more importantly, they have all been larger than life characters who have made an impression on their profession and their environment. Today, having celebrated 46 years in Marbella real estate, Chris runs Panorama with his children Alex and Katinka, who are taking the family trade into its fourth generation. The Panorama team covers sales of villas and apartments, investment properties, real estate consulting, rentals, and property administration.

“Even though we live in a rapidly changing world full of new realities and challenges, it is a great privilege to build on my family’s rich tradition of expertise, service and integrity,” says Alex. Together with his sister Katinka, Alex learned early on that, while

Chris, his father, Alex and Katinka, 1984

good marketing, sales and property listings are the cornerstones of the industry, only personal levels of service, efficiency and professionalism are what ultimately make the difference. “It’s how clients become friends that trust in you and are pleased to refer you to others.” A longstanding presence, a respected name and offices in prestigious locations on Marbella’s Golden Mile, combine with the desire to evolve along with the times.

“Real estate marketing today is very different from what it was in years past,” says Alex.

“In fact, the rate of development is so great that what applied only ten years ago is no longer applicable today, so it takes consistent daily effort not only to track and apply where necessary the latest trends in advances in real estate business and technology, but also, to do our best to lead the way.”

Having thrived in prosperous times and successfully weathered many recessions, Panorama has always maintained a balance between the resources of a sizeable agency and the personal touch of a family run business. Today, as Panorama finds itself at the beginning of a new period of growth in this region, 26 professionals are engaged between Chris with Alex and Katinka, 2016 the two Panorama offices, reflecting the multinational nature of Panorama’s clientele with their broad professional and linguistic skills.

“Combined, we speak twelve different languages,” says Chris, who takes pride in the fact that Panorama has been a constant reference to quality and service within an industry that can be turbulent at times. “We

“...it is the pillars of experience, consistency, dedication, market knowledge and professionalism which will make any business stand the test of time.” have a personal and corporate commitment to Marbella, our home.” Indeed, both as a company and in his private capacity, Chris has been keen to make a civic contribution to the town that has become his home. During over a decade he was an active member of the Rotary Club of Marbella and has contributed to a great many cultural and charity initiatives over the years, passionate to make this beautiful place even better.

More than anything, Chris has been one of the most consistent and dedicated promoters of Marbella itself. But “it’s the incredibly interesting people from all over the world that we meet and serve professionally that makes our profession so especially rewarding and has been my greatest source of personal

enjoyment,” says Chris.

Chris summarizes: “Success comes in many forms, but it is the pillars of experience, consistency, dedication, market knowledge and professionalism which will make any business stand the test of time. The values of a family and our profession, as taught by my father to me and by his father to him, are the basis for any success that we may have had.

Honesty, fair and transparent dealing, and a penchant for perfection are fundamental ingredients. Little by little we have gathered together the best team of champions in our field we have ever had, including our support team. This is perhaps the most fundamental reason for our success and longevity.”

Villas with over 2,500 m2 of living spaces are variously called important properties or homes of distinction, but whichever title you prefer it is certainly rare amid all the luxury homes in Marbella to find such privacy, space and opulence within a few minutes of both the town centre and Puerto BanĂşs.

Located in one of Marbella’s most exclusive residential areas, Sierra Blanca is a luxurious gated community characterised by grand villas and a small collection of small, highly exclusive apartment complexes set within deep greenery.

Build densities here are low, but even amid such a fine collection of homes this property stands out for its luxury, amenities and the land at its disposal. In such a prime location as this, it is a prime asset to have.

Set among the foothills at the base of La Concha mountain, the villa knows no neighbours for it is surrounded by its own subtropical greenery.

Almost 17,000 m2 of verdant grounds offer the possibility of adding several further guest homes, which can also be segregated into individual properties, if desired.

the main focus of the property is set upon an entrancing 180-degree perspective of the Mediterranean shoreline. As in a classical mansion, this is not where it stops, and like its landed aristocratic counterparts this Marbella gem features such unique areas as a stately entrance driveway, a marvellous entrance patio, a cosy Moroccan salon, a colonial library with a distinctly feminine feel, counterpoised by the hunting lodge style masculinity of the study with classic billiards table. The ambiences all meet in the stunning formal dining room, whose dĂŠcor and sense of occasion are worthy of the very finest guests and catered for by a country kitchen equipped for catering.

All rooms are reached through an elegant entrance hall whose imposing staircase leads to the private quarters on the first floor. Here you will find some of a total of seven sumptuous

bedrooms and guest suites, each a private domain in its own right, complete with dressing rooms, terraces with panoramic views and marble bathrooms in the most opulent traditions. They form a perfect spot to retreat and enjoy total privacy.

While made for relaxing and entertaining, the property also offers every opportunity to enjoy more active diversions, with a private tennis court, and a professional gym complete with sports bar.

An extensive wellness spa and entertainment rooms that include sumptuous Turkish baths and whirlpool, sauna, treatment rooms and one of the most impressive heated indoor swimming pools in Marbella.

The mansion is completed by its very own piano bar and what must be the most elegant home cinema in the region – making it the kind of home designed to perfection for people who demand the best in quality and appreciate the finest things in life. Indeed, for those who wish for a private estate close to the heart of Marbella, Puerto Banús and Mediterranean shores this is very much a property of distinction.

A beautiful entrance garden path surrounded by flowers, plants and with a large Italian fountain as a centrepiece takes you to the front door of this very special property.

South-facing, and on a large, sunny plot , with views to the Mediterranean as well as views to Marbella’s iconic La Concha mountain, the property’s 800 m2 were recently built to exacting construction standards.

The build quality is matched only by the exquisite taste of the furniture and special pieces within, lending a bright and elegant feeling, easily appreciated by anyone enjoying its large and comfortable interior spaces.

An elegant entrance hallway with double-height ceiling opens up into a large yet comfortable living room reminiscent of old-world sophistication yet with all the allure of the most modern homes on the market. A cosy adjacent TV room with Italian marble fireplace sets the perfect tone for a relaxing evening on the sofa. A very private ensuite guest bedroom with its own garden terrace is set on the east wing of the main level. A large and bright kitchen, fully equipped for ample entertaining opens up to both outdoor dining and a beautiful formal indoor dining room.

The magnificent main room looks out onto a garden designed for family fun, as well as day and night-time entertaining: colourful flowers set amongst stone paths that meander through the garden, around the large freeform pool and bar with its own outdoor kitchen and barbeque,

At La Reserva, discover the meaning of freedom as you take hillside rides through wild olives, cork oaks and pines, or in the early morning, gallop along the beach throwing sand into the air. Since 1965, the Sotogrande equestrian tradition has defined this community, with its pretty cobbled stableyard and world-class polo fields rich with glamour.

THE MARBELLA PROPERTY

Seller’s Guide

Selling one’s property is an art. The property market in Marbella has always been competitive and sellers with less experience might achieve far better results if they take advice from experienced professionals.

By Alex Clover This brief article is intended to share some essential points about selling properties, based on our own experience of more than 45 years.

Marbella is not a big city like London, Madrid or New York with a captive market within 50 kilometres of the centre. Instead, it’s a small city with a mostly secondary housing market and a buying public spread out all over Europe and the world – a subtle but important nuance.

Most buyers are not looking for a primary residence here, but a second or even a third home. This makes Marbella real estate less of a need and more of a luxury in which people are not drawn to property close to centres of work but to the quality of life a property can offer them.

As a result, one characteristic of a secondary housing market is that especially luxurious properties can take a longer time to sell, though in our experience this is considerably shorter where both buyer and seller are serious in their intent.

Establishing an asking price The most important thing to establish is a ‘sales strategy’, at the heart of which is the asking price. In other words, if you ask too much for your property, people will not even

60

bother to view and it will linger unseen.

Ask too little for your property, and you are potentially throwing away money.

The right asking price is perhaps the most essential ingredient in the art of selling real estate and is the result of thorough market research. Do not opt for the figure you would like to hear, find out the true market value, taking into consideration: what sales of comparable properties have been accomplished, and at what price? What are other owners with similar properties asking?

The more unique a property, the more an owner can ask for it and the stronger they can negotiate when trying to seal a deal. The less unique a property, the more the owners are going to have to resign themselves to the fact that there is a large supply of similar properties, and that they will have to price it competitively.

Avoid quoting a ‘net’ price One thing to avoid, if you intend to use agents to market your property, is listing on a net basis, where you want a fixed sum with the agent’s commission added on top. What will happen is that you can end up with a property marketed at several different prices, leading to confusion among potential buyers.

Wise sellers will form a team with their

agents and protect their agents’ commission, as they too expect to be protected and advised by their agents, and fix one sole asking price for the property, inclusive of commission.

agency will propose a coordinated strategy based on its experience and adapted to the specifics of your property. This will include the creation of quality marketing material and targeted promotional campaigns.

Exclusivity or not?

A responsible agent will try to avoid taking a sole agency unless he sincerely feels that the asking price is correct and that he or she is truly capable of selling the property within the time frame allocated. Providing agents you trust with easy access to the home is important in order not to lose potential buyers, though a good agent will screen interested parties first. They will also offer advice on how best to present the property for viewings and approach the negotiation process.

Should you give an exclusive sales agreement to an agent? If you are an absentee owner, or if you don’t feel like playing a co-ordination role among various agents of varying ability, granting exclusivity to a leading agent can make your life a lot easier.

It also provides the agency in question with the confidence to fully dedicate its energy and resources to the marketing and promotion of the property. A professional

Commission Rates The standard agency fee in a resort area such as Marbella is 5% plus VAT, which covers the marketing, promotion, and listing of properties and the arranging of viewings, follow-up with prospective buyers, property searches, providing background information and support throughout the buying process and beyond. Agents don’t give keys out to clients, they always show properties personally and they will spend a great deal of time in their efforts to find the right buyer.

Frequent comments by sellers: “My property has been on the market for months and I’m hardly getting any viewings.”

The only times this might be considered to be normal is if your property would only be of interest to a small cross-section of buyers – or if it is overpriced. If neither applies your property is not getting enough market exposure. Our advice: speak to your agent or

62

“We recommend pricing the property taking into consideration prices at which similar properties have actually sold.” seek the advice of another well-established agency with a good reputation. An accurately priced and marketed property should be getting a regular stream of clients viewing it.

“All the clients that agents bring to my property are time-wasters.”

Are they really? If you are getting lots of viewings and no offers on your property, chances are your property is not as unique as you’d like to think it is. It likely needs to be reduced in price or perhaps you could consider making market-driven renovations in order to increase its appeal. And always

Marbella’s Longest Established Real Estate Agency

“Wise sellers will form a team with their agents and protect them, as they too expect to be protected and advised by their agents, and fix one sole asking price for the property.” remember, selling a property in many ways is a numbers game. The more people who view it, the better chance there is of one of them falling in love with the property and buying it.

While photography should be representative, it should also present your property as well as it can, enthusing potential buyers.

To stand out from the crowd you may need professional images, especially indoors.

“I really need to sell my property now.”

If there are any small repairs or repainting that would enhance the overall appeal of the property, it’s well worth getting this work done now to eliminate any small ‘objection factors’. Also, make sure your home is spotless for photography and viewings alike, and you will instantly create a favourable impression.

If you need to sell your property within say two to three months, you need to be prepared to price it at a heavy discount when compared to similar properties on the market. This is when you really need a very knowledgeable agent working for you who can suggest the price that will achieve the sale.

“How much negotiation room should I build into my asking price?”

With the help of your agent we recommend pricing the property taking into consideration not only similar asking prices, but also prices at which similar properties have actually sold. Many buyers are very knowledgeable today and will recognize a realistically-priced property, but bear in mind that few will want to pay the full asking price, so leave some room for negotiation.

OTHER TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOME: Your property should be presented in its best light First impressions count. When agents take clients to view your property, ensure that curtains and shutters are open to let lots of light flood the property.

Check your agent’s website to see how your property is presented, in terms of the photographs, the description and the accuracy of the information provided.

Get your main agent to put up their ‘For Sale’ sign This always results in enquiries. Many potential buyers drive around different residential areas before going to an agent.

Without a sign, they wouldn’t know your property is for sale. Not allowing a sign to be placed is to block one of the many proven paths for reaching the market place. Our experience is that signs still help significantly in selling properties.

Facilitate viewings on as short a notice as possible If you leave your keys with a neighbour who plays golf three times a week, you are losing a vital chance to show the property at the client’s convenience. Bear in mind that the first properties that agents tend to show are the ones for which they have the keys.

Properties that need appointments to be set up in advance will generally be shown less.

Taxes Make sure that you are fully aware of your tax obligations when you put your property

enabling your lawyer to sign a private contract on your written instructions. You can negotiate the details of the sale with your agent by telephone and email, and your lawyer can then take the ‘first step’ towards the sale by signing a private contract without delay.

Points to consider when a negotiation is taking place

on the market. Meet with your lawyer and tax advisor, and find out your options to ensure there are no surprises when you enter into negotiations to sell.

Negotiating a sale Let your agent form a team with you in handling negotiations, checking points with your lawyer and tax advisor when necessary. This is your agent’s job and one of the reasons you pay the agency’s fee, and experienced real estate professionals are generally far better at negotiating the commercial points of a deal than lawyers.

Once this is accomplished, your lawyer should take the lead role (in coordination with your agent when necessary), draft the sales contract and supervise the eventual completion of the sale.

If you are frequently travelling, it can often make sense to leave a Power of Attorney

64

Is the buyer expecting a counter offer from you or has he or she given you a one-andonly, take-it-or-leave-it offer? Do they have other properties in mind? Is their offer a fair one? Are all details included in the offer – price, target contract date, deposit, completion date, and precise understanding of what is included in the sale in the form of fixtures, fittings and furniture, etc.? All these items should be agreed upon at the outset before lawyers are instructed.

Don’t allow yourself to be pressured by your agent or anyone else to accept an offer! A good agent will simply point out your options and offer advice based on his experience, but once you decide to proceed it is good not to waste time and risk losing the buyer.

In summary, selling a property can be as easy or as complicated as any task involving one’s personal affairs. Competent, honest, professional help from agents, lawyers and tax advisors can go a long way to help you manage your sale objectively and easily.
