Euribor rates mean big savings

The Euribor rate is finally bringing some joy to homeowners in Spain. The rate closed the month of January at 2.622% meaning a saving of at least 139 euros on an average mortgage (150.000 Euros on a 25 year term). That equates to an annual saving of 1.660 Euros. Good news I'm sure.

In Tempo defies the crisis

Image
The skyscrapers keep getting higher in Benidorm and three years from now, the highest residential block in Europe will be finished. After one year of moving earth and laying foundations, to a depth of 17 metres, the In Tempo building now boasts signs of life and the first three floors are visible. Last week, a mini celebration took place to commemorate the first anniversary of work starting on the site. Also worth celebrating is the fact that nearly 50% of the project is sold already, and that in the current economic crisis. The dimensions of the skyscraper are impressive, with it due to reach 200 metres in height, distributed over 55 floors and two towers that will be joined by a central piece in where the most expensive properties will be located (approx 6000 Euros per square metre). Such properties will cost 2.4 million euros. The current highest residencial block in Benidorm is Torre Lugano which actually rises 220 metres above sea level as it is located on the side of the Sier...

Villajoyosa has recently been picked up by some of the major travel publications and highlighted as one of the places to be in 2024, in fact the number one place to be! I will share the links to the articles below so you can read for yourself, but it has spurred me on to write a few words too about this pretty little town located in between Alicante and Benidorm. What strikes you first is that Villajoyosa is a busy little town which has retained a lot of its character, with the colourful fisherman cottages that line the seafront being the perfect example - the different colours allowing the fishermen to navigate home quickly after long stretches, or perhaps when the weather wasn't so kind. Villajoyosa has several sandy beaches, with the Playa Centro and Playa Torres being very popular and personal favourites of mine, plus some stunning bays to explore, including Bol Nou, Paradis and Racó de Conill. Being a fishing village, the food as you would expect is superb, I have ate fish a n...

Tourist Rental Licence In Alicante Region

As the weather warms up and we look towards summer, we are being asked by many clients about the laws regarding the letting of their properties for holiday rentals. Tourism in Spain has been reaching record levels over the last couple of years and this year is expected to be even higher. Renting out your holiday home can be a great source of income if it is not being used in the summer. Whilst many people still let their properties out with no licence, we recommend that if you are intending to let out your property, you should apply for a tourist licence. It is relatively inexpensive and as I found out when I did this for my own apartment, surprisingly easy to obtain. There is a form to fill in which you can find HERE and you will need an up to date habitation licence and energy efficiency certificate for the property. If you have bought in the last few years, you should have this but if not, it is something we can help with. The property has to meet certain basic requirement...
