Statistics reveal British motivations for buying property in Spain

Figures recently released by British developer Taylor Wimpey de España point to changing trends for those purchasing in Spain. Traditionally known for being one of the top retirement destinations, the statistics reveal that Spain is now attracting younger couples and families. It is also confirmed that one of the most popular hobbies whilst on the Costas is golf.

This year so far, 80% of buyers are aged between 30 and 55 years of age, with only 19% of purchases coming from the over 55s. This compares with 68% and 31% respectively in 2009 which suggests that more families are looking to own in the Mediterranean favourite.
The proportion of those looking for a holiday residence or a second home has gone up to 75 per cent, which was below 70 per cent in previous years and the number of people looking for a home in which to retire has dropped down to 4% to reflect the decrease in over 55 buyers. Interestingly, despite the economic down turn the numbers of those investing in the Spanish property market has held steady at 13% from 15% in the last couple of years. We can extrapolate from this that Spain has always been a popular destination for investors and the interest is still there from buyers looking to make the most of the reduced prices and turnkey stock in prime locations.

Since 2007 however, property budgets have reflected the reduction in disposable income for Brits. Today 72% of buyers purchase a home costing between €150,000 and €250,000 whereas in 2007 this figure was nearly half that and 45% spent between €250,000 and €350,000. Today only 20% are looking to spend this amount and only 5% are prepared to spend more than €350,000. Typically, 60% of buyers look to purchase two bedroom properties, with around 40% desiring three bedrooms.

The figures on the pastimes in which the English like to partake when abroad also make for interesting reading and partly explains why Brits flock to certain parts of the country. The statistics show that most English people love the Balearic Islands including the hotspot Mallorca. 45% opted for this popular holiday destination and their golf courses, stunning weather, classy beaches and high class shops. The pull for visitors is very strong with around 23 million passengers passing through the Palma de Mallorca Airport annually and an additional 1.5 million arriving by sea. TheCosta del Sol comes very close with 41%. Taylor Wimpey de España has a stronghold in the popular Marbella region of the Costa del Sol, they are one of the only developers launching new product after selling out of their other developments. It would seem the prime locations are still as popular as ever and good property in excellent locations still sell regardless of the economic climate.

Golf, by an overwhelming majority is the hobby that draws the English to the Costas, with a whopping 78 per cent placing it top of their list. According to recent surveys, at least 80,000 golfers from around the globe visit Mallorca to play annually. Over the last couple of years however, other hobbies have also started to prick the interest of the English, with hill walking, water sports and tennis being increasingly regarded as important holiday home activities. The consistent demand for outdoor activities has helped to ensure that resorts offer excellent facilities for visitors and owners alike.
Victor Sague, Sales & Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey de España comments, “The figures extracted from our client database of buyers between 2007 and 2010 show clearly that more and more families are looking to Spanish hotspots like Mallorca or the Costa del Sol for holiday and second homes, with two bedroom properties for under €250,000 appearing to be the most popular choice. The range of outdoor sporting activities, golf facilities and water sports, with high class restaurants, bars and shops, has always been a huge pull for Northern Europeans to Spain, along with the relaxed way of life, warm year round climate and the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. We of course seek to only provide homes that our clients demand so I recommend Pollentia Mar in Mallorca for those seeking their own slice of Spanish life that ticks all the boxes.”

Pollentia Mar, Puerto Pollensa, Mallorca

Pollentia Mar located in the seaside town of Puerto Pollença is a two and three bedroom apartment complex, just 50 meters from the beach and Pollensa’s famous Voramar promenade. Mallorca and its north coast has a variety of very good golf courses and almost every view from the area incorporates the spectacular view of the Sierra Tramontana mountain range or the beautiful bay of Pollença. Pollença is just 35 minutes from Palma de Mallorca. These properties are available now from €220,000.

Spain reawakens ?

According to recent Spanish government figures, just over 226,000 newly built and existing homes were sold in the first half of 2010, about half the number in pre-crisis years. More important, the rate of housing starts has slowed sharply: on current activity, the total will be fewer than 100,000 this year, compared with 800,000 in 2006.

Prices have fallen a nominal 20 per cent in the past three years, according to the central government, compared with year-on-year rises of about 17 per cent at the bonanza’s high point.
But official statistics do not fully reflect the pressure on banks and developers to sell stock at whatever price. Agents regularly talk of discounts of up to 50 per cent in some areas.
However, the ongoing lack of Spanish property sales suggest that Spain property prices need to fall further, despite the fact that values have plummeted in the past three years, mainly due to an oversupply of homes in the country.
The greatest prices falls were recorded in Catalonia (-2.4 per cent), Murcia (-2 per cent), and La Rioja (-1.6 per cent).
Despite the general residential price decline, asking property prices did rise in four autonomies. Resale properties in the Balearics increased by 2.3 per cent, followed by Navarre and The Basque Country (up 0.2 per cent), and Andalusia (up 0.1%).
This discounting, and the current weakness of the euro against sterling and other European currencies, is beginning to reawaken interest in the holiday home market.

UK interest in buying international property is up 138% on this time last year according to research by Primelocation International
The survey also discovered that;
- 32% were looking to emigrate from the UK permanently.
- 23.7% are interested in buying a holiday home,
- 12.4% are looking for an investment property overseas
“The truth is that foreign buyer interest never really went away,” says Victor Sagué, head of marketing and sales at Taylor Wimpey Spain. “There has always been a steady flow of enquiries.”
He says Taylor Wimpey has sold 150 properties so far this year, compared with 175 last year, 212 in 2008 and an average of 400 – or more than one a day – during the good times. “Spain as a whole is a very fragmented market and good locations and quality property will always sell well whatever the market conditions.”

So convinced is Taylor Wimpey of the nascent pick-up in demand, that the company recently pushed ahead with plans for a 54-unit residential development near Marbella, on the Costa del Sol.

A place to study

Universities across the world are planning an unprecedented recruitment drive in the UK this week as a record number of students fail to find places in this country.

Retiring to Spain

More than half of the UK’s ageing workforce plans to retire abroad, taking the pressure off the state system here and piling it on healthcare resources in the rest of Europe.

Less than half (43%) of Brits see the UK as a preferable retirement location, with many instead planning to pack their bags and spend their retirement in sunnier climes. In fact, the Brits are the least likely to retire at home, ahead of the Germans (46%) and the Irish (49%), according to a survey of over 7,500 European workers from Aon Consulting.
In contrast, Spain (87%) and France (81%) topped the popularity tables when it came to workers intending to retire in their home country, followed by the Danes (74%).

Spain is the retirement destination of choice for British workers, with almost one in four (23%) UK employees who wish to retire abroad identifying Spain as their preferred country. In second place came the US (21%), while the similarly warm climates of Australasia, France and Italy filled the next three places in the survey.
An influx of retiree immigrants to any one country could exacerbate the already ticking time bomb of an ageing population in Europe, forcing countries like Spain and France to rethink social policies and budgets to deal with extra pressures on healthcare resources.
This research is part of the Aon Consulting European Employee Benefits Benchmark, a survey of more than 7,500 workers from across Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, 10 of the leading economies in Europe. The benchmark focuses on the views of workers across Europe on topics such as retirement, employee benefits and other pension-related issues.

Oliver Rowlands, head of retirement, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Aon Consulting, commented: “Cheap air travel and the communication tools available over the internet means that retiring overseas doesn’t necessarily mean being completely absent from your family’s life, making the prospect of emigration to other countries on an previously unseen scale a real possibility.
“Not surprisingly, most people want to spend their retirement predominantly in countries with good weather and good social and government benefits, and ideally close enough so that they can get home quickly if they need to.

“There are financial implications that people thinking about retiring overseas need to consider. Cost of living may be higher in the country of choice, and so people planning on retiring abroad need to factor that into their savings plan. There can also be tax implications both at home and in a new country of residence, so it is certainly worth investigating that in advance so there are no nasty surprises later on. And finally healthcare benefits can vary widely for expatriates and this will be a major concern for retirees as they grow older.”

The attraction of Marbella welcomes the attraction of Obama

Marbella, in the heart of the Costa del Sol, is one of the most popular, best known and most glamorous locations in Spain. Its reputation for attractions, weather and celebration tempts people from across the world, including celebrities such as Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Joan Collins and Sean Connery. This year however the glamour has inched up a notch with a presidential seal of approval.



Michelle Obama has arrived in Marbella for what the White House has described as a four-day “private, mother-daughter trip with long time family friends”. That’s no surprise to the increasing number of Britons who are choosing to holiday or live in this attractive and sunny part of the world. Indeed, recent figures released from Málaga Airport show it has experienced a 2.2% increase in passenger numbers between June 2009 and June 2010. In addition, figures from primelocation.com reveal that internet searches by Britons for Spanish property have increased over the same period by a whopping 151%. In fact, Spain accounts for a third of all searches.
Why is it then that interest for this small corner of Spain never wanes? Cities like Marbella have numerous attractions enticing all nationalities; this stretch of coast boasts several Blue Flag beaches, there are beautiful parks and designated national parks for the great outdoors experience along with plenty of bars, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and clubs for evenings out.



The thriving nightlife in the city attracts many thousands of visitors every year. Marbella town is a fantastic place to experience traditional Spanish festivities especially important religious celebrations such as Easter, Christmas and New Year. Plus there are many events and festivals throughout the year celebrating food, music, film, fishing and more, including summer bull fights and horse and carriage rides. Whether Michelle Obama and her daughter decide to experience this lively side to Marbella is yet to be seen but what certainly remains true is that Michelle Obama vacationing here adds even more chic and glamour to the fashionable resort.
The impact of the economic problems of 2008 affected Spain nationwide; however, with the nature of Marbella’s high profile, this region’s economic climate has been documented more than most with particular attention to the property market. Agents and developers have suffered in the down turn with some devastating effects. However, for some developers there has been a resurgence in demand for second homes over the last twelve months which they have attributed to the more realistic pricing developers have adopted to maintain property interest. One of these developers, Taylor Wimpey de España, is seeing huge sales success having sold a quarter of the homes in its La Floresta de la Mairena residential complex in the last four months.



As a result of the increased buoyancy of the market they have decided to invest in a new development in Marbella (Benahavis) close to Puerto Banus. Taylor Wimpey de España has launched Los Robles II, which is just two kilometres from the luxury hotel where Michelle Obama is currently staying. This new real estate project at the Los Arqueros Golf Resort & Country Club will begin construction this summer.
Since 1997 the company has sold more than 1,200 homes in the area and currently has reserves of land for 650 new homes. Despite the more than fifty years of experience in Spain, the global economic circumstances presented a new challenge to the business, explains Victor Sagué, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey de España,



“Times were difficult but the sales results we saw with La Floresta was a pleasant surprise. We discovered that the secret is actually just about decent, sensible pricing which reflects the circumstances and realities people are facing.”
The business has fared well despite the economic downturn, with over 95% of its stock of buildings in the Costa del Sol sold.
“When there is a major crisis of confidence among buyers as has been the case recently, the strength of the brand plays in increasingly key role. The more uncertain the times, the more security people want and that is particularly true when it comes to such a significant purchase of a property,” says Sagué.
Los Robles de Los Arqueros II, Benhavis, Costa del Sol



Los Robles de los Arqueros (Phase 2) is a new Taylor Wimpey development situated in one of the best areas of Marbella, the prestigious Los Arqueros golf course. The residential complex has stunning sea and golf views, wide streets, beautiful gardens and the look of a Mediterranean village.

The homes have large terraces with spectacular views over the golf course and sea. Completion of the project is scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2012.

Costa del Sol

Costa del Sol takes up about 300 kilometres of the Mediterranean littoral that corresponds to the province of Malaga.




Protected from the northern winds by a mountain chain that in some parts comes down to meet the sea, this sheltered coast is shaped by a succession of extensive beaches, coves almost hidden between cliffs, marinas and anchorage for fishing.
The mild climate, infrequency of rainfall and the sea breeze make for semitropical vegetation in which palm and cypress trees, bougainvillaea, oleander and hibiscus are common. The proximity of such different landscapes -the mountain, the valleys blanketed in vegetable gardens and the sea- is, without a doubt, one of the greatest attractions of this coastline which combine all the appeal of the Mediterranean landscape and culture.



Residential areas, marinas, golf clubs, entertainment centres, nightclubs and many more tourist attractions have been built around and now coexist within the peaceful ambience of country villages, which have astonishingly conserved their traditional town centres. Summer beach holidays and all the appeal that this can offer along this stretch of the Mediterranean is not, however, the only attractions offered by the Costa del Sol: you will have the chance to uncover the most genuine, authentic features of the Andalusian culture very close by.




In addition to the folkloric displays in the tourist centres, you can also experience the lively and popular celebrations. The fiestas, Easter parades, song contests and the bull runs without a doubt claim first place on the list of recommendations for travellers who want to see beyond what first meets the eye. Tasting country wines in the intimate cellars of yore and having some traditional fried fish (cooked to perfection by the local folk) are some of the temptations that will seduce all visitors, specially those that prefer the wonders of local gastronomy over the ever-present international fare.



Taylor Wimpey España recently launched its new luxury development on the Costa del Sol in a move that signals the return of happier times in the premium Spanish property market. La Floresta de la Mairena, set in a stunning location in the hills above the town, is the first new development to break ground in Marbella for over three years and reflects Taylor Wimpey’s growing confidence in the demand for premium property throughout Spain. The development represents an €8.5million investment for Taylor Wimpey España and has been triggered by the company’s success in selling over 80% of its stock in the Costa del Sol in 2009.



The very special appeal of La Floresta de la Mairena lies in its location and specifically in the views that the location affords. Situated in the La Mairena hills above Marbella and surrounded by a strikingly beautiful oak forest, the view from La Floresta provides one of the most striking panoramas in the Mediterranean. To further add to appeal, most of the land surrounding the development has been designated a natural biosphere reserve by UNESCO ensuring that the stunning views will remain permanently unobstructed.
Victor Sague, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey Espana is confident of significant interest in La Floresta from the UK market:
“The last six months has shown us that as demand for the best properties in the best locations continues to rise whilst the existing stock of such properties gets smaller and smaller, prices will inevitably continue to rise. We sold 52 units in Marbella last year and today there are almost no premium homes available in the town. Anyone who visits La Floresta and experiences the ambience and the breathtaking views cannot fail to see that this will be one of the most sought after locations in the whole of the Costa del Sol. Marbella continues to hold a very special attraction to the British holidaymaker and with La Floresta being only seven kilometres from the town centre and the beaches and offering golf on the doorstep – I am confident we have the perfect package.”



The launch of La Floresta is the developer’s first under its new moniker of Taylor Wimpey España after spending the last fifty years trading as Taylor Woodrow de España. Headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, with offices in Barcelona, Alicante and Marbella and a staff of nearly 100, over the past fifty years Taylor Wimpey España has sold over 3,000 homes throughout the Balearic Islands, Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol.
