Spanish Property
Spanish property has been the one of the most popular types of overseas property for many years. Spain's quality of lifestyle, year-round sunshine, array of beaches and blend of rustic charm and cosmopolitan atmosphere has drawn many into buying a Spanish property.
Investment property in Spain
Property investment potential has been another important factor. Many Spanish properties have been built specifically for overseas property buyers who want to be able to play golf, be close to beaches and sample the local culture and cuisine. Property investors in particular like to buy Spanish off-plan property as only a small initial deposit must be paid whilst the property is being built whilst gaining capital appreciation on 100% of the property value.
UK retirees like to buy Spanish property as a retirment home; attracted by Spain's excellent healthcare system, the ability to draw a UK pension, the cheaper cost of living and excellent food and culture.

Similarly beach property and even ski property in Spain allows you to choose a property that best suits your leisure needs.

Planning permission has become a major issue in some areas where Spanish property has been illegally built as a result of corruption amongst government officials and buyers not checking whether the right sort of permission has been approved.

Whilst Spanish property is no longer the the bargin it once was, it still represents a good property investment due its strong economy, tourism and long-term desirably in which to live.
