Costa Blanca property

The Spanish Costa Blanca property market is recognised by the estate agents in Costa Blanca as being more suited to those wanting a quieter way of life when compared to its neighbour the Costa del Sol and yet in the centre of it all we have, Benidorm properties for the mass tourism market. Benidorm started the tourism boom in this area in the late fifties and the image of the coast line has been completely changed with many high rise apartments and hotels. As with many areas of the Spanish property market the explosion of growth over the last quarter of a century has been extremely poorly planned. However there are still many Costa Blanca properties which are a delight to the eye and there are Costa Blanca estate agents offering property to suit almost any pocket or requirement. Almost all the Costa Blanca property is a mixture of old and new styles, often towns and villages have two distinct areas, one containing the old traditional properties and the other offering high rise holiday apartment type of accommodation. The Costa Blanca property market now has many beautiful villas to offer, the hills and mountains providing the backdrop to the beaches of the Costa Blanca are scattered with a vast range of villas, bungalows and houses.

Properties on the Costa Blanca as with all Spanish properties must be purchased with care; it is the law in Spain that any debts on a property remain with the property, even after it’s been sold. Debts incurred by a house owner for other activities can be recovered by placing a charge on his/her property in Spain, so ensuring that Spanish property is free of all debt is essential. Good estate agents on the Costa Blanca will guide you through the process and ensure that you get what you pay for and nothing more. Those buyers buying private property in Spain should always hire a solicitor and give instructions (I prefer to do this in writing and get the solicitor to sign a receipt for it.) to the lawyer concerning the proposed use and past history of the property.
