What type of property is available?

Costa de la Luz

One of the most popular property hot spots is the Costa de la Luz. The Costa de la Luz or ‘coast of light’ is a 200km stretch of beautiful unspoilt coastline to the far south west of Andalusia. It stretches to the south from Huelva past Cadiz to Tarifa, opposite Gibraltar. Costa de la Luz is also known as the Spanish Algarve, and the Costa de la Luz offers undiscovered peace and tranquility, golden sandy beaches washed by clear blue seas and surrounded by sweeping dunes, majestic pine forests, rolling hills anda countryside dotted with traditional whitewashed villages. The region is cut in half by the Donana National Park, which is home to many wild animals and birds.

Travelling west of Donana and towards the Portuguese border, there are a number of quality developments with hotels, villa complexes and golf courses. These include Matalascanas, Playa de Mazagon and Playa de la Antilla. Along the coast to the south of Cadiz there are a number of resorts including the rapidly developing complexes of Zahara de las Atunes and Chiclana. The area has a good number of excellent golf courses, and has a Formula One racing circuit at Jerez.

The Costa de la Luz is much quieter than its neighbours in the winter, however it benefits from being located close to the beautiful, historic towns of Seville, Jerez and Cadiz.

Along the Costa de la Luz, property prices are still affordable and show strong growth making it an investment worth checking out. There is a lack of available building land whih guards against over-development, so it will never become as populated as some of the other costas.

How Can I Buy a Property for sale in Spain?

Buying a property for sale in Spain is similar to the process of buying a property in the UK or elsewhere. The problems are also similar. It is very important not to over-stretch yourself financially, and to ensure that you can afford the deposit and mortgage. Having said that, we have been amazed at how efficient the builders, pool companies, furniture dealers and mortgage providers are at making it all happen in a short space of time. In our experience, most are keen to help. Buying a property in Spain involves the following steps:

Spanish property pool

Check your finances to ensure buying a property in Spain is a realistic proposition and not an impossible dream. If you do not intend to pay for the property in cash, check that you can provide the deposit and the completion costs, and that you will be able to maintain the payments on the mortgage. If you let the property out this will obviously be a good way of financing your investment. We can give you advice on the best areas and markets for letting.
