PROPERTY SALES RISE 8.6% IN 2015

A promising out look on the Spanish property market 2015

Over 400,000 property transactions were processed in Spain last year, resulting in a total sales increase of over 8%.

Figures recently published by Spain’s General Council of Notaries has reported that the number of property sales have risen by 8.6% since 2014, with a grand total of 401,236 property transactions within the last 12 months. The average house price for properties in Spain also rose by approximately €1,277 per square metre – an increase of almost 2% year-on-year.

Figures for mortgage approvals across Spain also remained promising throughout 2015, as the number of new home purchase loans rose by 11.6% in 12 months, with an average loan value of €154,906. The total average loan value increased overall by 12.2% when compared to 2014, representing a significant spike in the market.

Our thoughts

Graham Davidson, managing director of Sequre International, comments on the buoyancy of the Spanish property market:

“With sales, loan approvals and prices all reported to be increasing, things are continuing to look positive for Spain. Only a few years ago the country was in a state of recession, yet it has made a remarkable recovery with buyers from all over Europe flocking once more to make a solid investment with Spanish property.”

“It’s no surprise that people may have underestimated Spain as a property hotspot given the suffering experienced at the hand of the financial crisis. However, with new reports each week talking of recovery in Spain, and house prices still around 50% lower than they were in 2008, it really is the perfect time to buy – particularly in fast-growing areas within the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol and Costa Calida.”
