The minister’s visit is to promote opportunities for British buyers of property in Spain as a whole and in the coastal cities in particular. While the minister’s visit was to big investors such as pension funds, individual investors have also learned many new opportunities that are available.

These new opportunities arising from the action of the Bank of Spain, the Spanish banking sector regulator. The 23 largest banks are under pressure to get much of their toxic assets in real estate in September 2011. These are properties that have been taken, for most developers could not sell new homes, but in many cases, individuals as well.

The Minister has certainly had an urgent need for action. Prices in Spain have fallen by at least 20% on average in real terms. In many places, the declines were much higher than that, up to 40% or more in some areas. The Spanish economy as a whole has shown encouraging activity in the last quarter of 2010 with a slight increase in the GDP figures unconfirmed 0.6% during the first three months of 2011 show that the trend continues. Real estate professionals are reporting increased levels of demand and expect this trend to continue.

The main reason for the growing interest in Spanish property is the central bank action. Thousands of properties and have appeared on the market in recent weeks and many more are coming soon. Market sentiment has changed significantly since these properties were released for sale. This had two effects on British interest in obtaining a Spanish property. First, there is a much wider range of properties available and this causes some confusion about a very small proportion of them are actively traded. This follows the death of the great property agents after the crash of 2007. The overall figures are not available, but it was reported that over 20,000 people lost their jobs related to real estate on the Costa Blanca alone.

The second reason is that the Costa del Sol and Marbella are the favorite places of the British real estate investing in Spanish. The lowest prices slashed to families in the buyer profile, which was dominated by those who officially retired or close. Families looking for a holiday home to search for properties very different from those who intend to move to Spain permanently. While the two age groups as the climate and atmosphere of southern Spain and the Mediterranean coast, young families want to be in the occupied areas with a lot of fun while buyers look quiet retired, but facilities to be close .

Buyers can save a lot of time talking with a real estate professional in the early decision making. Agents are experts in their particular field and know where the best prices are as good as the character of the different towns along the coast. He said that while the British are generally very independent and wants to be in the hands of the purchase, the impossibility of getting professional help can lead to a very expensive nightmare experience, since many people have learned to their cost in the past.

Marbella covers about. 3 square kilometers, consisting of villas and bungalows, between the Mediterranean Sea and the coast A7 (old N-340), located between Elviria (also known as the 5 star Don Carlos, Nikki Beach & Golf Santa Maria) and the picturesque Cabopino port, the eastern border of the municipality of Marbella. Marbella is located in front of the plates, urbanization beautiful, green and well maintained large villa in large plots.

Marbella, originally a strip of land behind the dunes at Artola, with trees, mainly pines and oaks, which took place in a city break to use by a German group between 1970 and 1980. Mainly used by the Germans, who owned a vacation home for the summer. But today in Marbella has become an international community with a variety of homes, architecture and concepts of life. In the immediate vicinity of the beach restaurants and shops and supermarkets for convenience. Because the houses are mainly used in summer for a holiday, the size of the plots in Marbella are relatively small compared to areas where there are other more permanent Villa is preferable. For this reason, Marbella is one of the few areas of the sea in Marbella where there is a beautiful villa with private pool in a price range of between 400,000 and 700.000e, or more if the plot size is larger and internal refurbishment or renovated to a high level.

Thanks to its central location, close to Elviria, Cabopino and Marbella town charm while remaining green and quiet residential areas consolidated calls for a younger audience these days.

The trend in recent years is that the first generation of owners, due to age, health reasons, etc still sells the house of origin of 70-s of attractive, affordable prices, enabling the next generation (very international) to reform or remodel your dream home – Playa – Villa of standards and modern architecture. This remodeling needs and desires is also a good investment because new homes by the sea attractive in this price range it is rare to find and attract a large market for both selling rent.
