Sales of homes this year have soared to levels not seen since 2019, according to leading Spanish property builder, Taylor Wimpey Espana. The sudden spike in figures has prompted the company to praise the demand.
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Espana, said: “Confidence has been returning to the Spanish second homes market for several months and it’s great to see that British buyers have now regained the appetite that they had for Spanish property before the pandemic.”
Compared to the same period in 2020, when the property market was severely impacted by the pandemic, sales of Spanish homes to British buyers have increased by 56 percent.
Expressing his optimism for the coming months, Mr Pritchard said: “This year is shaping up to be a good one for Spain’s second homes market – our projections for August and September are looking very positive.
“Buyers want sunshine, fresh air and beautiful beaches to balance out the stresses of the past year.”
The Costa del Sol in Southern Spain, which is known for its stunning coastline and micro-climate – guaranteeing a warm summer and mild winter – has proven an especially popular choice among British property buyers.
According to Taylor Wimpey Espana, some buyers have opted for second homes, which offer panoramic views of golf courses in the Costa del Sol, penthouses with unrivalled sea views, and properties in Marbella.
Mallorca in the Balearic Islands has proved the second most popular location for buying property, with penthouses and apartments, which come with private gardens, attracting interest from home buyers.
In the town of Ses Salines, a range of properties including duplex, apartments and penthouses, were all snapped up off-plan, Taylor Wimpey Espana said.
