Is It Worth Buying Property In Spain Now - Propertysotogrande.es

Image
  The question of whether it is “worth” purchasing a Spanish home will always be a really fascinating one, although it has arguably become an even more complicated one to answer as 2022 turns into 2023. Now, you might be wondering why there would be any ambiguity to our answer to this question here at Property Sotogrande. We are, after all, great enthusiasts of the notion of buying property in this exclusive and sought-after part of the Costa del Sol, due to factors ranging from (of course!) the Mediterranean climate and stunning coastal landscapes, to the plentiful leisure, sporting, and dining attractions and amenities here. Those fundamentals remain very much in place in 2023, and we don’t see them changing. However, there has also been talk lately of downward pressure potentially being exerted on house prices across Europe this year, as a consequence of factors like the cost-of-living crisis, inflation, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. First of all, let’s look at th...

Is Buying Property InSotogrande A Good Investment - Propertysotogrande.es

Image
  The question of whether the purchase of Sotogrande property represents a good investment is essentially a two-part one: whether property in Sotogrande is a good investment, and whether property in Spain as a whole is. The great news is that there is plenty of reason to believe we can answer with an emphatic “yes” to both of those questions. So, let’s take a closer look at some of the factors that might make buying a property in Sotogrande an especially wise choice for you from an investment perspective.  Spanish property prices remain robust – and the prospects for Sotogrande homes remain strong One of the key factors that many would-be investors in property consider before taking the plunge, is the likelihood of such property increasing in value at a rate that will make their investment feel worthwhile. And on that front, there is reason for hope with regard to both Sotogrande and broader Spain. The COVID-19 factor has naturally been a big factor shaping Spanish pro...

How Long Can Second Home Owners Stay In Spain- Propertysotogrande.es

  It might seem at times as if very few things have been guaranteed in recent years – whether that is the state of the economy, the state of our health, or even who will be holding political office in another six months or a year’s time. So, if there’s one thing you might want to be certain of when on the lookout for a Sotogrande property as a second home, it is what your rights would be to remain in Spain for an extended period of time as a foreign national. What are the key things that you need to know on this subject? It’s not as simple a question as it might look at first glance Firstly, the bad news: simply buying any property of any price, anywhere in Sotogrande or elsewhere in Spain, will not entitle you to stay all year round in the country. Although Spain doesn’t impose any restrictions that would prevent a foreign national buying a home here if they can afford it, the purchase itself won’t automatically confer the right to spend as much time as you like living her...

Will Sotogrande Property Prices Drop – Propertysotogrande.es

Amid the current global uncertainty – both economically and geopolitically – it is understandable that you may be wondering what the picture is presently looking like for the prices of houses, apartments, and villas for sale in Sotogrande or other parts of Spain. And there’s no doubt that the picture has become more complicated in many ways, in a relatively short space of time. As recently as the summer just gone, a strategy report and property-market forecast for 2022 and 2023 from the Spanish financial services company Bankinter was still estimating that Spanish property prices would go up by 1% during 2022, and rise by a further 1% next year. This compares to the 6.4% increase that was recorded for 2021. More recently, however, the same source has modified its outlook, suggesting that 2023 will actually see a 3% decline in property prices across Spain. The market is also expected to fall by 2% during the year after that, compared to a previous forecast of 0%. There is a diffe...

  The prospect of buying property in Spain — whether for leisure, business, or investment purposes — is enticing. You could be especially attracted to the idea of buying property in Sotogrande due to this coastal community’s stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Rock of Gibraltar. However, if you don’t currently live in Spain, you might wonder whether snapping up property in this southwestern part of Europe would be a practical possibility for you. Fortunately, you could be somewhat reassured by the answer, as the obstacles are not necessarily too tricky to overcome. What are the legal requirements for acquiring a Spanish property? Technically, as a foreigner, you would actually face only one legal requirement: that of holding what is called a NIE (Número de IdentificacióndelExtranjero). Without a NIE, you are barred from undertaking any transaction in Spain. You must have a NIE already at hand before you sign or are issued any documents in Spain, as the NIE will...
