At present there are 3.3 million holiday homes in Spain and the number is still rising as the process of buying property in Spain becomes easier.  Better mortgage offers and low interest rates continue to tempt British buyers in their thousands.   However, for each purchaser of a property in Spain the requirements will be different, depending on whether you are looking for a permanent home, an investment property, holiday villa, or a buy to let . 

If your purchase is dependant on a rental income to pay the mortgage, never take the advice of the selling agent who assures you that the property has excellent rental potential.  Speak to a letting agent who has in depth knowledge of the market.  For a permanent home, a mountain or rural property may look fantastic by day but sundown usually sheds a different light on things & you may find the seclusion a little eerie - and local facilities may be a 15 minute drive away.

We still hear of some 'horror stories' and buying mistakes, but the pitfalls associated with the purchase of property in Spain can be avoided by doing your homework first.  Research the market, read articles, speak to professionals, take the time to look around different areas of Spain which may be of interest, and when you find your 'dream home', appoint a solicitor.

The links below offer help and advice on buying and renting property in Spain.  I hope you find them helpful.

ICF Building in Spain

ICF is basically a 'kit form' house, supplied as a 'flat pack' and built in half the time of a traditional build. All panels are versatile so can be moulded to suit the customers requirements, i.e. bay windows, rounded rooms ect. As all buildings using the ICF method are eco friendly, they will be healthier for both the occupants and the environment.

The benefits of an ICF construction are numerous, especially in a country like Spain where you want to keep heat out in summer, and retain it in winter. The eco friendly method not only helps the environment in general, but gives the owners a much healthier and cost effective place to live. The Costa Blanca is named by the World Health Organisation as one of the healthiest places to live, so it makes sense for your home to be as healthy as your outdoor lifestyle.
