Leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a<\/a> has spoken out about the appeal of golf properties in Spain, at the same time as Savills has flagged up the economic potential of the country\u2019s housing market. In its September 2024 Spotlight on Spain<\/em>, Savills\u2019 National Director, Research, Spain \u2013 Pelayo Barroso Olaz\u00e1bal \u2013 reports:

\u201cThe outlook for Spain is bright, with the prime and mainstream markets expected to outperform global trends in the near term. Spain\u2019s diverse markets, long-standing global appeal, and strong fundamentals will continue to attract residents and investment.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>

Spain\u2019s economic growth has impressed many property investors of late. The country\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 2.5% in 2023, against a forecast for the year of 1.0%. Its labour market is strong and tourism is booming, with the latter now accounting for approximately 12% of GDP.

All of this adds to the fact the Spanish housing market is on a \u201cstrong footing for the future\u201d, according to the latest Savills research. Spain\u2019s world-class culture, historic architecture, beautiful beaches, vibrant cities and relaxed pace of life also play into the country\u2019s appeal \u2013 as do its outstanding golf courses. Spain\u2019s fairways attract keen interest from around the world, as do its stylish golf properties, according to Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a:

\u201cOwning a golf property in Spain delivers a wide range of benefits, from stunning views and serene natural surroundings to being part of an active and social community. Surrounding areas have everything that\u2019s needed for both second home owners and fulltime residents \u2013 supermarkets, shopping centres, restaurants, schools, health facilities and cultural activities.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>

Golf properties in southern and southeastern Spain benefit from excellent connectivity with the UK thanks to the presence of multiple international airports, which offer routes to numerous regional destinations in the UK. This benefits investors, tourists and residents alike, with Spain holding broad appeal to a wide range of property buyers, as Savills points out: \u201cSpain\u2019s perennial global appeal for tourism and for residency will likely continue for many years to come. The market\u2019s strong fundamentals, robust \u2013 if undersupplied \u2013 housing markets, culture, climate, and infrastructure make the country a top destination for permanent residents and second-home buyers.\u201d

The excellent value of Spanish property, compared to the UK and many other countries, also underpins its housing market\u2019s robust credentials. This is another factor driving demand for golf properties at present, according to Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a. 

\u201cSpain has golf properties that suit a wide range of budgets. Many of our buyers are pleasantly surprised at how much they can get for their money here, compared to the types and sizes of properties available in their home country. Features such as spacious terraces and communal swimming pools are included as standard in our golf homes, while in other countries these can command a major price premium.\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>

Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director, <\/strong>Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a<\/a> 

Sunny Golf<\/a> in Estepona, Malaga, is an excellent example of this. Homes are priced from just \u20ac310,000 plus VAT. In addition to being onsite at the beautiful Estepona Golf resort and having a generously sized communal pool, the properties are just 3 km from the beach. Every home comes with a large terrace, while ground floor homes also have private gardens and penthouses have their own solariums.
