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.

Marbella Sierra de las Nieves 300x225 - British fund to invest 25 million euros in five luxury villas in MarbellaThe 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.

Is a weak pound and the uncertainty accompanying the Brexit vote having or likely to have an impact on the British demand for property in Spain?

Marbella 2 300x199 - Brexit has not affected property sales so far, say Costa del Sol real estate expertsWhile demand for property has been growing since 2013, a reversal is anticipated given that the market for UK buyers is driven by the strength of sterling.

It is also expected that the buying pond for British owners wishing to sell and return to the UK may also evaporate somewhat in the short term.

However this is not a view shared by those on the ground. Gary Oliver, sales director of Remax property agents, thinks not.

“We do expect some buyers may hold off to see what the coming weeks and months will bring but with little long term impact,” he says.

The United Kingdom's exit from the European Union is a terrible piece of news for the Costa del Sol, where the British are its biggest and most important customers, and also some of the highest spenders. From now on there are just unknowns and a lot of nervousness.

brexit 300x210 - The effect of Brexit on the Costa del SolLast week, the president of the CEA (Andalusian Employers' Association), Javier González de Lara, warned that Britain leaving the European Union would have serious consequences for the Spanish economy, with tourism, although not just tourism, being the main loser.

Since the referendum there's been a 10% fall in the value of the British Pound. This means that Britons' holidays in Spain have become more expensive overnight as, although the Euro has also fallen, it hasn't done so as much as the Pound. This will mean less tourists will visit and less buying power for those that still come. The current average daily spend by the British is 105 euros, higher than the Germans (101 euros) and the French (80 euros).
