A first class investment opportunity
More than just a home, this is also a first class investment opportunity. Whether you are considering buying a property as your main residence, as a second home, or to add to your investment portfolio, you naturally want to know that it will appreciate in value.
Calasparra has been identified as Spain’s next big thing. BBC’s Living in the Sun said “you will definitely get more for your money in this part of Spain” and people-in-the-know are getting in on the act now so as not to be left out in the cold.
Here are some reasons why canny investors are getting excited about the area and are currently snapping up homes:
- Spain offers a near-ideal climate, a cost of living about 30% below the UK's and low interest rates. Not surprisingly, therefore, it is one of the highest property growth areas in Europe, and remains the favourite for UK buyers
- Spain's property values have doubled in the last five years - that's a 20% increase each year, according to official EU figures
- Murcia, which has been a largely ‘undiscovered’ area, shows the greatest increase in property prices - 25% per year in the same period. Some off-plan properties have gained 50% in just one year
- Buyers benefit from sustained low interest rates, which are currently around 3.7%
- There are a number of crucially important infrastructure improvements happening which is opening up the area, driving forward strong property prices
- The new Murcia International Airport being built just 25 minutes away southeast of the capital will bring in 1,500 passengers an hour
- The AVE high-speed train, connecting with major Spanish cities, will open up this region and bring more visitors and property-seekers
- Newly constructed roads into Calasparra
- High-quality properties like ours at Las Torrentas, with their outstanding design and energy-saving features, superb location and on-site amenities, are always in short supply and therefore command premium re-sale prices and high rental yields. And with over 500,000 visitors per year to Calasparra, there is always a large demand for holiday letting
- The World Health Organisation has recently declared the Murcia area of Spain as “officially the cleanest, least polluted of all areas of Spain!” Meanwhile, it enjoys 320 days of sunshine – allowing letting all year round
