Long-term lifestyle considerations
Long-term lifestyle considerations draw property buyers to Spain
“Purchasing a property, for most people, is a long-term commitment. Our buyers are looking at Spain for homes that they can enjoy either as a primary residence or a second home for many years before heading into retirement. It means that properties need to serve two purposes, both meeting current lifestyle needs and deliver solid potential for capital appreciation,” says Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director, Taylor Wimpey España
Spain delivers on both the lifestyle and the financial side of the equation. It has just ranked as the third best retirement destination in the world in Global Citizen Solutions’ Global Retirement Report. The report highlighted Spain’s safety, ease of integration and the quality of its comprehensive healthcare system as reasons for the country’s ranking.
On the financial side, the latest General Index from property market specialists Tinsa by Accumin shows steady and sustained price growth across Spain, with a year-on-year price increase of 8.8% as at June 2025. Along the Mediterranean coast, that increase stood at 9.2%.
The coastal increase is particularly relevant to British and Irish buyers, with Taylor Wimpey España reporting that 80% of these buyers choose homes in the Costa del Sol. With 300+ days of sunshine per year, along with vast sandy beaches, superb golf courses and a lively social scene, the area has much to draw in buyers seeking the ultimate blend of lifestyle and solid financial prospects.
