Javier Ballester, Managing Director for Taylor Wimpey España comments on the successful end of year figures,
“We are extremely proud of the fantastic results Taylor Wimpey España has seen in 2016, figures which have confirmed our position as the leading homebuilder in the Spanish property market. Our outlook for 2017 is positive, despite wider macroeconomic uncertainty created by the EU referendum result which has and is affecting sales to British buyers in Spain.
“However, the rest of the European markets, specifically Germans, Belgians, Swedish and Spanish, have performed very well in 2016 and we would expect these to continue on an upward trajectory in 2017. Low interest rates and easy access to mortgages in Spain and the rest of Europe will continue to enable buyers the opportunity to purchase their dream Spanish home.
“We will have several new sites in great locations ready to be launched in the first half of half of 2017 and we look forward to welcoming prospective buyers to the improving Spanish market.”
