Published on Leave a comment on Marbella and its luxury property market leading the crisis recovery

A privileged area, surrounded by greenery, nothing to block the view, very few neighbours, top quality and an innovative design. These are the characteristics demanded by the new villa in Marbella 300x225 - Marbella and its luxury property market leading the crisis recoveryproperty market which is being reborn on the Costa del Sol. The macro-developments, all looking the same, which mushroomed along the coast during the boom years, have been left behind.

Following the crisis the sector is starting to reactivate, thanks to projects which are based on luxury: residential complexes with a very few, very exclusive properties which are, logically, designed for those with ample budgets.

In Marbella, several of these are to be found now. Avenida Príncipe Hohenlohe, otherwise known as the Golden Mile, and Sierra Blanca are the main attractions for investors, many of whom bought land some time ago but were reluctant to build on it because of the plunging property market. Now, signs for show houses are reappearing and off-plan sales are becoming a reality once again.

Published on Leave a comment on Property market is becoming stable in Spain

Year on year property sales in Spain have increased for five months in a row, signalling that the residential real estate casas 300x117 - Property market is becoming stable in Spainmarket is becoming more stable.

The latest figures from Spain’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) shows that sales increased by 10% in July on an annual basis and by 9% on a quarterly basis.

The INE doesn’t break down monthly sales figures by nationality, but real estate experts point out that foreign buyers are driving the sales increase. This suggests that there is plenty of scope for further increases when local demand picks up with falling unemployment and easier mortgage lending.

Published on 1 Comment on The price of buying a home in Spain

Buying a home in Spain is cheaper than elsewhere in the EU.

apartments for sale in Spain 300x300 - The price of buying a home in SpainAs reported by an annual analysis on Spain’s real estate market conducted by Deloitte, the percentage of income spent by households on mortgage payments - rate of effort - has been steadily falling in recent years and currently stands at 33 per cent, as a result of the decline in house prices registered since the outbreak of the economic crisis.

Moreover, the average home price in Spain is 4.4 times the individual gross salary, compared to many countries in the European Union where prices are 6.1 times the individual gross wage and Britain and France, where the ratio is 8.5 and 7.9 times the individual income.

For the fourth year and compared to the rest of the country, homeowners in Barcelona and Guipuzcoa have had to spend a larger percentage of their income on mortgage payments, given the high price of housing in those provinces.

Published on 1 Comment on Courts to request demolition of 98 illegal homes in Albox, Almeria

The public prosecutor has signalled its intention to demand the demolition of 98 homes owned by British citizens in Albox, Almeria, which were built on non urban land and, allegedly, without the mandatory municipal licences.

Albox 300x243 - Courts to request demolition of 98 illegal homes in Albox, AlmeriaThe 98 homes are situated in the El Romeral-La Aljambra area and were constructed between 2004 and 2006 and, according to the courts, “are not legal because they do not comply with current planning laws in Albox”.

Two brothers, known under the initials J.F.A.H. and D.L.A.H., who were developers and builders of the residential complex, under various company names - Proyecto y Construcciones Almanzora SL, Procoal Villas SL and Empire Villas Sl - apparently built the homes on land not zoned for building and without a municipal licence and not only disobeyed an order to cease activity completely but continued to build more properties.

Published on 2 Comments on Dwelling in Ibiza 2 by Roberto Ercilla

By the architect Roberto Ercilla

The traditional Ibiza (Spain) house is organized by adding rooms, which give an imperfect image with high plasticity.

In house nº 2, the white cubic volumes are articulated among themselves by means of turns, generating interesting residual spaces and cross views.
This arrangement allows a close relationship between interior and exterior through the organic adaptation of the house on the lot, integrating the existing trees.

The house sits opposite the landscape, to the south, with views of the city of Ibiza, and opposite the mountains, to the north, with views of the countryside.
