North Costa Blanca Last Year 2012

Last year, 2012, we asked you to name your favourite town on the Costa Blanca or Costa Calida. The clear favouite was Cartagena, a beautiful and historic city and naval port in Murcia. If you've never been there it's worth a visit!
In joi...nt second place came Torrevieja, Benidorm and the town of Orihuela Costa (La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Playa Flamenca etc).
This year we are splitting the vote into towns north of Alicante and those south of Alicante and you can vote on both.
So from the map below name your favourite town north of Alicante.

Q. Is it best to buy a bank repossesion?

Q. Is it best to buy a bank repossesion?
A. Frankly, in most cases, NO! The exception being that if you need a 100% mortgage there are a few bank repos that have them. However we do have bank repos on our site that are worth considering. Most repossesed properties never make it to the open market. The good ones are sold by the banks to their known list of investors or purchased by bank staff. ... The ones left are the ones that are less in demand due to location or condition or the fact that the amount the bank needs to sell it for is higher than the current market value. Re-sales are often furnished, are open to offers and have been in regular use so everything is working. Bank properties have no furniture, are generally a fixed price and may have been empty for two or more years, leading to problems of dried-out pipes etc. Remember in Spain the debts relating to the property are passed on at sale to the new owner, so be very careful that you do not sign the papers until you are 100% sure the bank have settled all outstanding bills!

Why should I use a Spanish solicitor

Q. Why should I use a Spanish solicitor, surely I can save money by doing it myself?
A. Unless you are a fluent Spanish speaker and reader, and well versed in Spanish property law and conveyancing, don't even think about not using a solicitor! Use an independent, bi-lingual and recommended one. Ensure everything you sign is in both Spanish and your own mother tongue, (verified translation). As regional laws and taxes vary use a solicitor that regularly does conveyancing in your chosen area.

Why does it cost so much to buy a property in Spain?

Q. Why does it cost so much to buy a property in Spain?
A. The simple answer is TAX. As is common in other mainland European countries there is far more tax payable when purchasing than you would pay in the UK. As a guide: in Alicante the transfer tax is now 8%, in Murcia it is 7%, then you pay stamp duty of 1%, your Notary and Land Regisrty fees will be another 1000 euros and expect your solicito...r's costs to be 2000-2500 euros. It is NOT a straight 10% as the media have often stated. On new properties there is no transfer tax but you pay IVA (Spanish VAT) at 10%. The payments are callculated on the property value which is not always the same as the actual amount paid for the property.

Foreign buyers flooding back into the Spanish property market

Foreign demand is the only dynamic segment of the Spanish housing market, and non-resident foreigners now make up a third of all buyers in the Valencian Community.

The number of non-resident foreigners who bought holiday property in Spain last year rose by 28.4pc to 38,312 buyers, according to figures from the General Council of Notaries, reported in the Spanish press.

Some buyers may have bought more than one property, so the actual number of properties sold to foreign non-residents last year is likely to have been even higher.

House purchases by foreign non-residents are now almost back to their pre-crisis levels of 41,787 in 2007, when the market was already showing signs of cooling.

Foreign buyers are being lured back to Spain by lower house prices and fewer town-planning and property related scandals that so blighted Spain’s reputation at the tail end of the boom.

The surge in foreign demand last year was not evenly spread, however.

Foreign purchases doubled in Catalonia and increased in the Valencian Region, but fell in Murcia and Andalusia, according to the Notaries. There were 204 foreign buyers in Madrid last year, an increase of 200pc on 2007.

Nowhere are foreign buyers more important than the Valencian Community, home to the Costa Blanca and Costa del Azahar. Said Vicente Dómine, head of the Housing and Public Works Department of the regional government “the purchase of homes in the Valencian Community by foreign citizens was 29pc of the total, representing a rise of 32pc on 2011, and income of 1.6 billion Euros,” in comments to the press. “The property market of the Valencian Community is recovering thanks to purchase of homes by foreign citizens,” he said.

The Russians are coming

Russians are now the second group of buyers behind the British, and ahead of the French, whilst the Norwegians and Belgians have overtaken the Germans, who have fallen into sixth place. Italian demand collapsed, reflecting economic problems at home, whilst the number of buyers from North Africa has ticked up, as the Arab Spring turns to winter.

Lower Spanish house prices

Foreign non-resident buyers spent an average of €230,000 on Spanish property last year, down 28pc from €320,000 at the end of 2007, and 42pc above the €160,000 mark the Government has floated as the price for getting a residency permit thrown in with your house-purchase.

Valentine's meal

Friday evening we had a delayed Valentine's meal at Las Cuevas restaurant in San Miguel. The restaurant, (as the name suggests), is in one of the town's cave houses and was very cosy and atmospheric. The food was lovely - freshly roasted and sea salted almonds were brought to the table, followed by 3 starter courses; a wonderful fish mouse with salad and crispy bread, then sarano ham croquets, followed by a a medley of roasted vegetables in a tartlet. Main course was a choice of a local fresh fish or very succulent roast calf both served with fresh local vegetables. Also a choice of desserts, coffee, wine and Cava included. Not a word of English could be spoken by the waitress and the other dinners were Spanish, which added to the experience!

2012 – Worst Property Markets

2012 – Worst Property Markets
 1 Holland
2 Slovenia
3 Greece
4 Portugal
5 Ireland
According to Colordarcy, the property agents, Ireland, Portugal, Greece, Slovenia and the Netherlands were the worst performing property markets of 2012. There seems to be a mix of criteria. Ireland was in fifth place, with prices 55 per cent off their peak. The Netherlands was in first place on the basis that prices fell some 8 per cent in Q4.
Key point going forward into 2013? Despite your bottom-fishing inclinations, Colordarcy suggest you avoid these markets in 2013. ‘At least investors can now look forward to 2013, with property still the number one investment choice for financial gain. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we will see any gains or improvement in our ‘5 Worst Property Markets of 2012’.
Nice to know Spain was not in this top 5
