Brexit is bad news for the recovering Spanish property market with a real estate conference in Marbella hearing that it is already having an impact with a fall in British buyers.
Interest from British buyers in locations like the Costa del Sol where they have been the biggest group of foreign buyers for many years, began dwindling in the run up to the European Union referendum in June and since.
Property expert Mark Stucklin told the conference, organised by Spanish appraisal company Tinsa, that British buyers made up 36% of foreign market in the Malaga province last year, more than double the next biggest group from Sweden and 50% of the top six markets combined.
He believes that when reliable figures are made available they will show a big decline in British purchases, perhaps 50% or more in the six months after Brexit. Stucklin said that he also spoke to other property industry professionals at the conference, including lawyers and estate agents and most of them said that Brexit is having a significant negative impact on their business.

The London-based British fund Pacific Investments has announced plans to invest 25 million euros in the construction of a complex of luxury villas in the Sierra Blanca area of Marbella.
The exclusive project is aimed at a privileged few, buyers with very high purchasing power; there will only be five properties in total, and the price is expected to be around seven million euros each.
The complex, which was launched by the director de Pacific Investments, Mark Johnson, and the head of Penna Properties Partners in Marbella, Christopher Penna, has been designed by the Torras y Sierra architecture studio, which also designed the Finca Cortesín hotel.
The construction of the villas will begin as soon as the council has issued the works licence – this should be done within the next few weeks, they say – and the site chosen for the exclusive development is the area known as Cascadas de Canoján, in the upper part of Sierra Blanca.

The Costa del Sol is still the number one choice in Andalucía by a long way when it comes to attracting foreign property buyers.
Between January and July this year, there were 4,978 registered real estate transactions to non-Spanish purchasers in Malaga province, an increase of 16.9% on the same period in 2015.
According to official Spanish government data, this accounts for 70% of the residential properties sold to foreigners throughout the whole of Andalucía.
On a regional level, the number of properties bought by foreigners in Andalucía increased by 18.9% in the first six months of this year. The 5,973 transactions in the same period in 2015 rose to 7,105 sales in 2016.

Marbella continues to attract international property investment. The investment fund Resolution Property has returned to the town after ten years’ absence to invest in luxury properties in the resort.
The fund also plans to source investment opportunities in sectors such as services, retail, hotel and holiday rentals. The fund’s assets will be managed by Rhone Property, an investment fund management company with a track record of experience in Marbella.
Two companies make up the capital behind the fund: the British Resolution Property and the Swiss Be Capital. Each brings 50 per cent of the total capital to the fund and will carry out the investment via Investis Properties.
This company already owns an extensive portfolio of assets in Marbella and these have a value in excess of 50 million euros. The volume of investment will allow the company to become a REIT (real estate investment trust - SOCIMIin Spanish) and therefore place Marbella on the alternative stock market in Spain.
