Spain >> Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol, or "Coast of Sun", is the tourist name for the Provinces of Malaga and Granada and has always been known as the most wealthy of the Spanish Costas and has been attracting affluent people from across the globe for more than thirty years now.

More recently, the Eastern province, Granada, has been referred to as the Costa Tropical - we wont split hairs though!

The Costa del Sol is still one of Europe's main destination for year round sun. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, an excellent choice of beaches, extravigant marinas and a lively atmosphere, this coastline has plenty to offer any visitor.

The Costa del Sol has an abundance of activities. There are a number of world class golf courses to tour along the coast (close to 30 golf courses on the coast alone). Watersports are offered at many of the beaches, the marinas are packed with yachts worth millions - some of which are owned by the rich and famous, and all the cafes and bars seem to be packed with every nationality under the sun. If you fancy something more relaxed, a short distance from the coast there are also several typical Spanish white washed villages to explore - Mijas Pueblo is a known favourite of many visitors.

Aside from the high life, and tourism, the Costa del Sol is very beautiful too. The land undulates quite dramatically in some areas,and the mountains lined with evergreen trees seem to keep the warm winds from Africa from leaving the area.

The main airport for the Costa del Sol is Malaga Airport. It has an excellent road network running both north and south, so you are never much more than 45 minutes from your destination once you leave the airport.

Investment Tours

Investment tours run from Friday until Sunday and cost £225 per person. They are scheduled for every 3 - 4 weeks, but individual visits can be catered for, under special circumstances. Prior to booking an investment tour, it is highly recommended that a one to one meeting is arranged with one of our staff, to discuss your requirements.

All properties have a long build time (18-24 months), with the opportunity to add your property to an already successfull rental and management program, once it is complete.

For your peace of mind, a member of our staff will join you and any of our other clients on the trip. A representative of the property investment company will be appointed to meet us at the airport on arrival and take us to our 4 star luxury hotel. During the weekend, you will be given a tour of the developments currently on offer. You will also be shown the surrounding areas, local amenities and dine in top quality restaurants - all meals are included.

The tour weekends are arranged so that you are in a group of like minded investors, giving a unique opportunity to share your opinions and thoughts throughout the visit.

Should you find a property you wish to purchase, you are guided through all legal and financial procedures by professionals.

To take advantage of a luxury investment tour, please fill out the contact form in as much detail as possible, stating you would like to book an investment tour in the "Other Requirements" section. Go there now.

Individuals personal circumstances can sometimes also be taken into consideration when discussing the payment options. Below is a rough idea of the payment structures for each property purchase (this can vary between builders and vendors, so please be aware of payment options before signing a purchase contract).

1. Almost always a £5000 deposit, to reserve the property and take it off the market.
2. Between 20% and 50% of the purchase price is usually required within 21 days of signing the purchase contract. The amount payable depends on what percentage mortgage is available on the particular development.
3. The developer may require another payment before completion, but this is rare.
4. The remainder of the purchase price is paid on completion when the property is ready for you.

New property that is Built -
1. Normally a 3000€ deposit.
2. Almost immediately, at the most 30 days after signing the purchase contract, a further 10% will be required.
3. The balance of the property purchase price is then payed on completion.

Resale Property -
1. Normally a 3000€ good will deposit.
2. Within 21 days of initial deposit, upon signing the purchase contract, a further 10% will be required.
