When a 3-bedroom property in Marbella, went on the market, its owner Neil
Hudson, hoped it would fetch over £500,000.<br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yet, despite many years of viewings,
the 1,614sq ft property failed to sell due to the slow Spanish market, too
much competition and lack of buyers. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; margin: 0px;">Raffling a home for £5 per ticket is not a new
concept as several UK homeowners have tried similar competitions in recent
years and many have failed. <br />
The promoters of prize draw competition have said that they will not make
the mistakes other competitions have made. <br />
Speaking to Prize Draw Competition, Neil Hudson who is also the owner of
the property
said:
<br />
“<i>Some other competitions have been run very amateurishly and what seems
like an easy scheme to organise actually requires a huge amount of work. <br />
We have spent two years doing our market research and our planning. We have
entered many property raffle competitions to win of course, <br />
but also to make sure we fully understand the positives and negatives from
these.<br />
It is essential also that the general public has full confidence in the
scheme. We have done everything to ensure that the correct legal framework
is in place. <br />
It is fully compliant with the UK Gambling Commission’s guidelines and the
draw will be streamed live online and overseen by independent adjudicators.<br />
<br />
The winners will be selected by a random generator and the source code for
this has been published online to prove its legitimacy..<br />
We have also made sure that we are using experienced marketing companies
and have publicity campaigns being implemented, <br />
both off and online as ultimately it is a numbers game and needs to be seen
by many millions of potential winners to sell enough tickets and most<br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>other schemes have floundered from
not putting enough resource into the marketing. <br />
We are not limiting ourselves to just UK entries, but are publicising this
worldwide and give it the maximum exposure it deserves.</i>”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It seems like the fearmongering headlines about Brexit and
the potential fallout have all but vanished recently, but there are still many
people who are left with unanswered questions and a lot of worrying “what if?”
questions. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">While a complete 100% answer about what Brexit means for <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Residency-spain.php">EUcitizens</a> and Brits alike, the politicians who are going to be involved in those
decisions are saying positive things at the very least. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This includes Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis, who
told The Andrew Marr Show on BBC1 that even if the UK is unable to secure a
deal on Brexit when leaving the EU, the British people in Spain would be
allowed to remain where they are. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Brussels and the British government have been locked in an
impasse that is a reflection of the political problems the two have been
dealing with since the result of the referendum last summer. The “divorce”
negotiations are so complex and complicated that there has yet to be a single
cause that British PM Theresa May appears to be protecting above all others.
Free trade appears to be important, but there are problems with that. This is
also the case with free movement of people, which is only becoming a more
heated discussion with immigration fears. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Prime Minister May has at least made some concessions for EU
citizens living in the UK and says their situation won’t change, and these
words were mirrored by Dastis when he said that he hopes there will be a deal
and that – should no deal arise – the Spanish government will endeavour to
ensure the lives of <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/a-to-z-of-living-in-spain.php">British people living</a> there are not disrupted. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Dastis added that there is a very close social and economic
relationship between Spain and Britain. Spain welcomes over 17 million Brits a
year and a lot of them go to the country to live and retire, and Spain wants to
continue this relationship as much as they can. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Spain has become the popular choice for <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/a-to-z-of-living-in-spain.php">Brits living in theEU</a>. The official statistics from the UK show there are 308,805 Brits currently
living in Spain, but the real number is estimated to be at least twice this.
Around a third of the Brits living in Spain are over 65 years old according to
this same source, and that the proportion of retirement-age expats is growing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The never-ending love <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/a-to-z-of-living-in-spain.php">affair between the UK and Spain</a> –
outside of the occasional spat over Gibraltar – should be a reminder to
everyone who wants to spread the idea that Europe is divided that even
countries that are as “different” as these two countries have a lot of respect,
admiration and love for each other. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Brits are in love with the climate, beaches, hospitality,
and traditional foods and wines of Spain. Spain, on the other hand, loves the
culture, history, fairness, liberal economic and working conditions and the
food and beer of the UK. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">While there are certainly more <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Cost-of-Living-spain.php">Brits living in Spain </a>than
the other way around, the gap started to close with thousands of young Spaniards
moving to Britain to escape the recession and find work. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Some of those Spaniards are moving back home now the economy
in Spain is improving, but data from the HMRC in the UK has shown there are
still many Spaniards living in Britain and they are proving to be great for the
country. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The data showed that <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/tax-spain.php">Spaniards contributed £802 million in taxes </a>in 2014 while claiming only £62 million in benefits. This gave the UK
economy a major net benefit and puts the Spanish in sixth place in the list of
the top ten countries contributing taxes to Britain. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">France comes top of the list, with French residents paying a
whopping £2.3 billion in taxes during 2014, putting them ahead of the Polish,
who contributed £2.2 billion. As close as these figures are the net benefit of
French expats is much higher than the Poles with a ratio of 25.6 compared to
2.4 for the Poles. This shows that Polish immigrants are more likely to claim
benefits compared to French immigrants. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Spaniards provide a net benefit ratio of 12.9 which makes
them one of the best contributors to the British economy according to the HMRC
data. </span></div>

bringing down the percentage of unemployed people to 4.66% and bringing the

seasonal jobs are created. However, when viewed over a long period of time the
trend becomes very encouraging; the third quarter has been a booster for
Spanish employment figures for five years running now, and the performance last

<span style="color: black; font-size: 24pt; margin: 0px;">Three Reminders of What Makes
the Costa del Sol so Special </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 24pt; margin: 0px;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It’s been shown by recent news events that the 17 autonomous
regions of Spain are proud of their heritage and identity and rightly so,
including their cuisine, <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Language-schools-spain.php">language</a>, culture, and history. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Despite all this, one of the most famous spots in all of
Spain isn’t one of the autonomous regions. It’s the “Costa del Sol”, which is
loosely defined as a slice of the eastern coastline of southern Spain. Most of
the area comes under the jurisdiction of the province of Malaga, but if you
asked someone in a region like Manilva if they consider themselves to be in
Malaga and they would say no. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The entirety of the Costa del Sol does fall within the
autonomous region of Andalucía, which does give the region some uniformity when
it comes to their terrain, climate, and cuisine. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The unique strengths of the Costa del Sol are most apparent
when you break it down even further and go to the regional level. Here are
three reminders of what makes the Costa del Sol so special…</span></div>
<h1 style="margin: 16px 0px 0px;">
<span style="color: #2e74b5; font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: large;">It’s Truly International </span></h1>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The Costa del Sol is home to the <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Airports-spain.php">Malaga airport,</a> which makes
it easy for people all over the world to make their way to the region. This
makes the area more international than anywhere else in Andalucía and puts it
on a level even higher than that of Seville. The Costa del Sol is perhaps the
most international region in all of Spain with the exception of Barcelona,
Ibiza, and Madrid. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This means that the region is home to the finest bars,
restaurants, fashions, and trends. Marbella is still the home of the
international jet set; Fuengirola is still at the forefront of mass tourism,
and Puerto Banus is still the destination of celebrities, movie stars,
footballers, and multi-millionaires alike. </span></div>
<h1 style="margin: 16px 0px 0px;">
<span style="color: #2e74b5; font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: large;">There’s More Variety Than you Think </span></h1>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">For all the he hotel complexes with pools, restaurants, and
family entertainment options hugging the Costa del Sol coastline, there’s
plenty of charming villages that provide visitors with a real taste for
traditional Spanish life. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">For all the expat enclaves complete with pubs, plumbers,
football teams, electricians, cafes, and schools built for Brits, there are
similar places that have a Scandinavian feel to them, not to mention the places
with German flavours and the growing influence of Asia. Even so, the<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/why-buy-property-costa-del-sol.php"> Costa del Sol </a>as a whole remains strictly Spanish. There are cobbled streets with
Andalusians that have been there for generations even in Marbella. It’s this
variety that makes the area so fascinating. </span></div>
<h1 style="margin: 16px 0px 0px;">
<span style="color: #2e74b5; font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: large;">It’s Beautiful </span></h1>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Not much can prepare someone for the sights and sounds that
will be waiting them on a Friday night on a Friday night in summer along the
Puerto Banus second line. Stag and hen parties alike filling the air, stylish
Swedes walking the streets, a mixture of American, British, Irish, German, and
Spanish people mingling and enjoying themselves. The Costa del Sol is a place
where anyone can come together and party the night away for a few weeks out of
the year, which is what it is most known for. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">There’s still so much more to the region though. Don’t
forget the beaches which come in rural and packed. The resorts which can be as
cheap or expensive as you need them to be. A wide choice of properties matching
every taste and budget waiting for a buyer. Then there is the terrain, which
can go from an urbanised beach to the wilderness of the mountains in a matter
of miles. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/property-for-sale-in-costa-del-sol.php">The Costa del Sol</a> really does offer something for everyone. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Some 26,583 mortgages were approved in Spain during August,
making it the highest monthly figure since 2010, not to mention a massive
increase of 29.1% compared to the same month last year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The continued upward trajectory of <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Resale-Property-costa-del-sol.php">Spanish real estate</a> has
been made clear by a range of data released over the year. Whether it’s the
number of transactions, or prices, or regional growth and overall outlook, the
Spanish real estate market is in good health and only growing. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This recent data, which comes from statistics released by the
Spanish central statistics unit, is perhaps the most accurate reflection of how
things are right now. The numbers tell us that the peak of summer is when the
most homes are bought, and the economic data shows that more and more Spaniards
feel financially secure enough to begin <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Buying-Process-costa-del-sol-property.php">climbing the property ladder.</a> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The figure is naturally topped up by buyers from Britain,
Sweden, Ireland, Germany, and other countries. This is shown by the fact that
Andalucía, home of the illustrious Costa del Sol, saw the highest annual
increase in August mortgage approvals. 50.2% more mortgages were approved in
Andalucía compared to August of last year. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The average mortgage amount is also increasing, albeit not
as sharply as mortgage approvals. The average mortgage amount has increased a
minor 0.7% to €111,488, which is still encouraging despite being lower than the
average <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/property-areas-costa-del-sol.php">increase in property prices</a>. It shows that banks are once again feeling
confident enough to lend money. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When taken as year-to-date statistics, the first eight months
of 2017 saw over 210,000 mortgages approved, which is an increase of 12.85%
over the same period of 2016. When looked at in terms of the past 12 months,
the increase becomes 12.1% with 306,000 mortgages approved in Spain between
August 2016 and August 2017. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The financial analyst firm PwC recently published a positive
assessment of the Spanish property market, saying that the sector was <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Buying-Process-costa-del-sol-property.php">“perfect” for investment in 2018.</a> The report, titled Tendencies in the European Property
Market in 2018, looked at leading property markets in the continent, assessing
past performance and potential futures. </span></div>

Spanish property market, with both sales numbers and average prices expected to
increase. An interesting part of the report is the correlation between the
health of the European economy and Spanish property. As European countries get
stronger financially and have better job security, the Spanish real estate
sector improves.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">These parallels may be obvious but they aren’t always
clearly defined by historically cautious analysts. Because of how<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Resale-Property-costa-del-sol.php"> foreign homebuyers</a> affect the Spanish property sector, the more confident and rich
Europeans are the better it is for Spain. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Conditions in the country itself also make investing in
Spanish property attractive for both domestic and foreign investors. Prices are
expected to increase between 4-6% during 2018 and this kind of growth is ideal.
It balances out returns on investment without increasing so much that it scares
financial markets and banks. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When you consider that <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/bargain-property-for-sale-costa-del-sol.php">Spanish property prices </a>are still
around a third lower than they were at the peak of 2007 and it’s obvious that
Spain guarantees value for money when it comes to property. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The report was also impressed by how Spain is able to
maintain interest in the recovery of their property market. Values and sales
have been growing steadily for the past three years now, and PwC were pleased
by this stability. This is why they concluded that Spanish investment
conditions are “perfect”, which is high praise. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As a collective <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Festivals-celebration-spain.php">British holidaymakers</a> were spending an
average of €48 million a day in Spain, which works out at around €2 million
EACH HOUR. All in all, this figure accounts for 20.1% of all tourist spending
in the country in 2017. Tourism spending reached a total of €86.82 billion in
Spain, with Brits spending around €17.42 billion of that. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">German tourists were barely spending more than Brits pre
head, but their overall €12.2 billion spent in Spain puts them below the
British. The reason for this was that there were more Brits than Germans in
Spain 2017, with around 18.78 million Brits and 11.89 million Germans visiting.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">French and Scandinavian tourists threw another €7 billion
each into the Spanish economy last year, leading to tourism accounting for 11%
of the GDP for the country; meaning tourism is one of the most important
industries in Spain. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Statistics published b<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/costa-del-sol-property-management.php">y Spanish property valuation</a> firm
Tinsa this week show the average home in Spain was worth around 3.6% more at
the end of January 2018 compared to January 2017. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">With the increase of between 5-6% in 2017 – depending on the
metric – signs are strong that 2018 will be another positive year for Spanish
property. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The data from Tinsa highlighted not just the nationwide
average increase of 3.6% but also different regional variances. The data showed
that property prices were up over 5% in the larger cities and provincial
capitals of Spain during January, with an increase of around 4.1% across the
Balearic and Canary islands. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/property-for-sale-in-andalucia.php">Average prices increased</a> around 3% for most of the
Mediterranean coast, which is just below the national average. This is a
reflection of the fact that demand for coastal properties is generally at its
lowest in the winter months. Tinsa believes that home prices across the
Mediterranean will reach above the national average as the summer sets in. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">An interesting note is that while the data from Tinsa
doesn’t reveal the average selling price of <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/luxury-property-for-sale-costa-del-sol.php">Spanish homes for January,</a> it does
say that home values have reached the averages of June 2013, which was a time
when the market faced a number of price corrections. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Things were moving downwards back then while they are moving
upwards today, and substantially at that. Home sales are increasing by an
encouraging amount; 11-15% over the past few years. The average mortgage loan
amount is also steadily increasing. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The National Institute of Statistics in Spain (INE) has
published the <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/property-for-sale-in-costa-del-sol.php">latest provisional residential property sales </a>figures for 2017
which show last year saw a nine-year high for total property transactions. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This means that 2017 has become the most significant year
for the Spanish property market since 2008, which was when the bubble burst and
the crash began, leaving the real estate industry in a state that it has taken
years to recover from. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Signs have been suggesting that the <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Looking-to-Sell-in-costa-del-sol.php">property market in Spain</a>
has been recovering since 2013, but this latest data marks the first time that
the market has reached pre-crash conditions. Property sales figures increased
across all 17 autonomous regions of Spain, and the 14.6% nationwide increase
over 2016 sales figures left the total figure at 464,423 homes sold in 2017. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This is in stark contrast to the 312,000 homes changing
hands in Spain during 2012, which was when sales started bottoming out at the
height of the recession. 2017 ended on a positive note as well, as the 32,211
transactions recorded for last December was an increase of 9.2% over December
of 2016. It’s also around twice the notary data published recently that
estimated sales would increase 4.5% in December. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The fastest-growing region of Spain last year was
Castilla-La Mancha, which saw an impressive increase in property sales of 24.7%
compared to 2016. This is an area that doesn’t usually bring in foreign buyers,
suggesting that a large part of the uptick in the Spanish real estate sector is
caused by domestic recovery. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Foreign buyers still remain an important part of <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Off-Plan-Property-costa-del-sol.php">Spanish real estate</a> though, accounting for around 15% of home buying activity in 2017.
Of this, Brits were responsible for around a fifth of all sales to foreign
investors. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 36pt; margin: 0px;">Ryanair to Open 29 New Routes
to Spain this Winter </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Irish budget airline Ryanair is set to add 29 extra routes
to Spain, leaving them with over<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Airports-spain.php"> 500 routes to and from Spain</a>. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Spain remains a popular destination for spending the summer
in the sun and this popularity will only increase with the news that Ryanair
are set to open 29 new routes to Spain this year. This will bring Ryanair up to
500 routes, and comes at the perfect time as Spanish tourism is flying quite
high as it is. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary explained the reasoning behind
the increase in routes, saying that <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/why-buy-property-costa-del-sol.php">Spain was one of the most important markets</a>
for the airline. He explained that around 27% of Ryanair’s traffic is related
to Spain, which is no doubt important to the company. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Leading travel agent Thomas Cook told British holidaymakers
that the average trip to Spain in 2018 will cost around 5-10% more than it did
compared to last year because of the increased demand and the pound being weaker.
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As British, Irish, and Scandinavian holidaymakers begin to
forgo other areas of the Mediterranean due to the threat of terrorism, Spain
has seen record numbers of visitors. The official data shows that 2017 was the
best year ever for<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Tourist-info-spain.php"> Spanish tourism</a>. This increase in demand also means that
supply may have trouble keeping up however. This is why Thomas Cook believes
holidays may be up to 10% more expensive in 2018. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Thomas Cook remarked that there was evidence holidaymakers
will continue to snub Egypt and Turkey – despite the resorts in those countries
being cheaper than<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/a-to-z-of-living-in-spain.php"> Spanish resorts</a>. Safety will always win over affordability,
according to the travel agent. While the pound may weaken against the euro even
more next year, the amount of British visitors going to Spain in 2018 isn’t
likely to change, according to Thomas Cook Chief Executive Peter Fankhauser. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The executive also added that <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Hotels-spain.php">Spanish hoteliers</a> are to take
advantage of the unique position Spain is in by increasing their prices, but
did add that many of them would use the additional profits to improve their
facilities and expand upon them to guarantee long-term gains over short-term
profits. </span></div>

valuation and appraisal firm Tinsa shows that transactions have stayed steady
around the 40,000 mark for the last few months. The performance suggests that
the Spanish property market is entering the next phase of growth; a sustained,
steady, and encouraging stage of growth that comes after the rapid increases in
property purchases found when markets initially recover. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The analysis from Tinsa runs up to the end of July, when
<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Looking-to-Sell-in-costa-del-sol.php">38,841 Spanish properties were sold</a>. This represents a 16.8% increase over July
of last year and also means that – taken as being the end of a 12-motnh period
– property sales were at their highest level for over six years, reaching a
total of 437,000. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">All 17 of the autonomous Spanish communities recorded
increases in sales, with Tinsa forecasting that there could be <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/bargain-property-for-sale-costa-del-sol.php">half a millionsales recorded in 2017</a> – which would be the largest figure for a decade. If
this was to happen though, it would mean monthly sales averaged 44,000, which

While the figure remains high compared to the rest of the EU (where Germany,
the UK, and Denmark have the safest roads statistically) it is a great
improvement over the space of one year, especially given that the amount of
trips taken in the country across the summer increased 3% to 87.6 million. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In regional terms, much of central and northern Spain saw
less fatalities, along with the Balearic Islands. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Andalucía recorded a total of 38 road deaths in the summer,
which was an increase from the 35 last year. The region remains popular with
holidaymakers from across the world, most of whom are behind the wheel as<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Airports-spain.php"> soon as they leave the airport.</a> This means that it is difficult for authorities to
control road deaths and bring them to acceptable levels. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This can also be said of Catalonia, where the perpetual
popularity of Barcelona goes somewhat towards explaining why 15 more road
deaths occurred during this summer compared to last summer. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The latest data from Spanish property valuation firm Tinsa
has shown that the average <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/why-buy-property-costa-del-sol.php">Spanish property price in Spain increased</a> 4.3% in
October of 2017 compared to 2016. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The statistics are for the entire country, meaning there are
some regional variations to take note of, particularly the increase of 6.4% in
provincial capitals and large cities like Barcelona, Madrid, and Malaga. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">An interesting thing to note is that properties close to the
Mediterranean coast have only increased 0.9% in market value for October over
last year. This is somewhat of a blunt measurement by Tinsa however as anyone
who lives on the Costa del Sol can tell you that not every Mediterranean region
and resort is created equal. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/property-for-sale-in-costa-del-sol.php">Costa del Sol properties</a> tend to increase at a steadier pace
than in other areas. There are less peaks, but there are also less troughs,
meaning that Tinsa putting all Mediterranean regions into a single category is
somewhat misleading. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">With this said, this category has also seen a 4.3% increase
in home values over the first ten years of the year over the same period of
time last year. That gives a better picture of how the markets in the
Mediterranean are doing. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The market value data from Tinsa was published with a
snapshot of different market indicators. Other statistics show that mortgage
approvals improved 13.2% leading to August over the same period last year; a
7.91% reduction in employment to date in 2017; and the rather encouraging
statistic that <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/bargain-property-for-sale-costa-del-sol.php">property sales have increased </a>14.3% in 2017 up to August
compared to the same period of 2016. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Buying-Process-costa-del-sol-property.php">It’s estimated that 526,000 properties will be sold in Spain</a>
during 2018 – an increase of 9.3% over the 481,000 home sales expected in 2017.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The anticipated growth will also bring in a nationwide
average price increase of 6.1%, which is just under the 6.9% price increases
from this year. Properties will still be affordable in 2018 however, as even
with this anticipated 6.1% price increase average Spanish property prices will
still be a good 27% below the peak from 2007. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The data comes from Anticipa, one of the leading real estate
providers and analysts in Spain. The firm compared the projections for next
year against the performance of last year – 2016 – and found home sales
increased 21% between 2016 and 2018. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This is an impressive level of growth, especially when set
against the <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Off-Plan-Deposit-Refunds.php">crash in Spanish property </a>less than a decade ago, not to mention
the following economic problems Spain has had, including a recession. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The analysis for 2017 comes from the fourth quarter
projection that home prices are set to increase 5% during the final three
months of 2017. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">What’s most exciting about the forecast is the calculation
that over 520,000 homes will be sold next year. This would mark the first time
that over half a million homes have been sold since 2008, which is nearly
double the figure from 2013 when only 285,000 homes were sold. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">While the forecast for next year is still around 42% less
than the record 900,000 <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Looking-to-Sell-in-costa-del-sol.php">homes sold in 2006</a>, it’s built on a solid foundation unlike

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">UK-based Thomas Cook – the creator of many package holidays
(and memories thereof) for Brits – recently announced that they are to set up a
brand new Spanish airline to cope with the expected increase in flights to the
country in 2018. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">During a time where a number of cheap airlines are going
bust – such as Air Berlin and Monarch – or are struggling with staffing
problems – such as Ryanair – Thomas Cook is looking to take advantage of the
uncertainty of the industry by entering what could be the most competitive, and
potentially lucrative, aspect of the aviation industry; serving the country of
Spain. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Airports-spain.php">Spanish airports</a> are some of the busiest in Europe, bringing
in holidaymakers from around the world across the year, mostly thanks to the perennial
popularity of the country as being one of the very best tourist destinations in
the world. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This is why Thomas Cook are to base their newest airline in
Palma de Majorca, and are to begin flights to and from the Balearic Island from
early 2018. The fleet will start out as three Airbus A320 planes, flying with a
Spanish operating license, but Thomas Cook has said that they are likely to
<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/a-to-z-of-living-in-spain.php#listing">increase their fleet to meet the demand</a> they expect to see. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Chief Ariline Officer of Thomas Cook Christopher Debus
released a statement saying that the new base and airline will provide them
with the platform to manage the seasonal demand for their business better,
giving them better control over things at a lower cost as they continue
expanding their destination choices for customers. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As large a company as Thomas Cook is, even they typically
make losses during the winter. This is why operating seasonal staff directly
from Spain allows the company to respond better to the demand and maintain
profits between November and March, which is generally the quiet times for the
company and <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Tourist-info-spain.php">Spanish tourism as a whole. </a></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Operating out of Majorca allows the Thomas Cook Balearics
Division to better loan planes to other group divisions, meaning that the firm
should have a better looking balance sheet. Thomas Cook currently have 94
aircraft and deal with a total of 16.7 million passengers on an annual basis. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">By contrast, <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/costa-del-sol-property-management.php">Spain has a rising demand for home, officespace, retail, and leisure facilities</a> that make the residential and commercial
markets particularly strong. The prices are also a fair reflection of the
market value of properties. Because of the resurgent Spanish economy there is
sure to be an increased demand for industrial and office space as time passes,
according to the investors. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Spain has an enduring appeal that continues because it
<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/costa-del-sol-property-management.php">offers all the simple things</a> but it does it so much better than anywhere else
in the world. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The beaches are kept clean, accessible and varied, as well
as being served by plenty of restaurants, bars, hotels, and playgrounds; the
Spanish climate is pleasant for most of the year; accommodations range from
affordable to five-star expensive resorts; the flights to the country are cheap
and fly regularly; the cities are historic and modern at once, not to mention
beautiful; and the people are incredibly welcoming and friendly. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It’s hardly a surprise that Spain regularly ranks among the
top three most-visited destinations each year. It seems that Spain may become
THE most popular destination of 2017 however, at least according official
tourism data from the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Tourist-info-spain.php">Spain welcomed 57 million tourists</a> up to – and including –
August of this year; marking an annual increase of 9.9% compared to last year.
Around 10.4 million people – which is about a quarter of the population of
Spain – visited the country during August. The figure was a 4% increase
compared to August 2016, suggesting that the popularity of Spain continues to
grow. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The story is the same for British visitors in particular.
There have been some fears since the Brexit that British visitors would prefer
to stay in the UK instead of travelling overseas where they wouldn’t get as
much for their money. It seems that the 13.2 million Brits heading to Spain up
to August would prove those fears wrong. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The amount of Brits visiting Spain has increased 7.8% in
2017 compared to 2016, and there have been noticeable increases in tourists
coming in from other countries. Some 8.2 million Germans visited Spain, up 7.2%
from last year, with 8.4 million French tourists flocking the country; an
increase of 1.8%. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">What is it that makes a summer special? The weather?<a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Beaches-spain.php"> Howoften you get to go to the beach</a>? A good football tournament? Getting to
travel? Those sweet summer romances? </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Summer has a lot of different meanings for a lot of
different people, but for an area such as the Costa del Sol, summer generally
means blue skies, packed beaches, busy restaurants, and healthy coffers in
bars, hotels, cafes, and clubs. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">While being busier may not always be better, for an area of
the world that depends so heavily on tourism, the more people entering the
Costa del Sol the better for its reputation, experience, and services. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">With this said, it’s fair to say the Costa del Sol of Spain
may have just had their best summer ever. Data taken from the region’s hotel
association AHECOS and Turismo Costa del Sol reveal that visitor numbers between
June and September were up 5.2% compared to the same time period last year. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This means over <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/a-to-z-of-living-in-spain.php#listing">seven million people chose to visit theCosta del Sol during the summer</a>, which is the highest amount of tourists ever.
But if you are put off by the idea of beaches packed to the brim, then consider
the businesses in the region – the boost in tourism improved employment by 8%,
and generated over €7.15 billion for the Costa del Sol across summer. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Further statistical information from the tourist board shows
that overnight stays during summer increased by 2.36% during summer, with new
arrivals increasing by 1.6% over last year. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The positive data has led to speculation that 2017 may very
well be the best summer ever for the Costa del Sol, with a large amount of the
surge caused by holidaymakers from Britain, Germany, and Scandinavian
countries. They can’t resist coming back to the country each year, bringing
their full pockets with them. The number of British holidaymakers was up 7%
over last year, according to AEHCOS. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Looking into the tradition slower winters, data from <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Airports-spain.php">airportbookings in Malaga </a>has suggested that arrivals will increase 12% between
November and January compared to the same period from last year. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">At the start of September El Hormiguero (The Anthill) host
Pablo Motos introduced a special €20 note into circulation, offering a reward
of €9,000 to anyone that found it.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The winning note 0 with the serial number EA2081272879 – was
used in a publicity stunt to <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Local-cuisine-spain.php">pay for a meal at a bar</a> in Villavieja in
Castellón. Of course there’s no telling where the note is by now. It’s likely
still in Spain, but it could have left the country and be anywhere in the
world. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">What’s interesting is that no one has claimed the reward yet
– at least we haven’t heard of anyone claiming it – and so the bounty on the
note has increased to €9,000. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Even though I’ve desperately checked the serial number of
each €20 I come into contact with, I still haven’t found it. If I don’t have it
though that means there’s a chance you might. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So go ahead and check every €20 note you have on you <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/Shopping-spain.php">before you spend it on Shopping</a>. Turn
out your wallet and purse, go through your pockets, and check behind the sofa.
Think about what you could do with all that money. You could have a new kitchen
installed, take the family out for an incredible vacation, or reserve your very
own place in the sun.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I’ll go back to being serious now, and tell you just what to
do if you’re the lucky owner of the €20 note. <a href="https://costadelsolpropertygroup.com/property-referral-program.php">To claim the prize for yourself</a>
you need to send a photo and video of the note using Whatsapp to El Hormiguero
using the number +34 674 012 847. Don’t forget you heard it here first! </span></div>
