Fuerteventura property and estate agents
Fuerteventura properties
The demand for property in Fuerteventura has increased so much over the last year or two that Estate agents in Fuerteventura are finding it difficult to keep up with the demand, especially since the construction of the golf course with its beautiful surrounding properties adding to the attraction. Before we get into the advantages of owning a property in Fuerteventura let’s leave the estate agents for the moment and tell you a little about the island of Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura or as many people wrongly spell it Fuertaventura (just take a look at the internet results for both spellings!) is physically the second largest (after Tenerife) of the Canary Islands. Situated just 100 Km from the African coast, it is lower in altitude, less densely populated and much quieter than its neighbours, it measures some 110 Km long by about 30Km at its widest. With its dry sunny climate and soothing sea breezes Fuerteventura is becoming increasingly popular among Europeans for both a quiet holiday destination and as a possibility for those considering retirement property. With the best beaches in Europe, miles of sand dunes and a very small population (around 80,000) Fuerteventura offers great opportunities to those seeking peace and solitude as well as wide open spaces. For those wishing to practice water sports, Fuerteventura’s sunshine, warm seas, and breezy coastal conditions are ideal. The capital of Fuerteventura is Puerto del Rosario with half the total population of the island based there, but foreign property investment centres on the areas of Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, La Pared and Morro Jable.
Fuerteventura main resorts:
Caleta de Fustes/El Castillo
A beautiful golden sandy beach situated on the east coast of the island. It is close to nearby villages but has a number of bars and restaurants surrounding its main hotel complex.
Corralejo and Playas de Corralejo
Corralejo and Playas de Corralejo have combined recently to make a single resort that has become increasingly popular with both British and German tourists over the years. There is a wonderful beach with lovely sand dunes. Recently a new shopping complex has opened and this now provides the shops and restaurants to cope with modern needs. Regular ferry services are available from this resort to neighboring Lanzarote.
Jandia
This resort caters for both older and younger visitors; it’s centered on Morro Del Jable which at one end has the main shopping street and an old river-bed, and at the other there is a selection of vibrant bars and restaurants surrounding the beach. Jandia is becoming increasingly urbanized with the rise of apartments and commercialized centres.
Property in Fuerteventura
As in any country in the world buying properties in Fuerteventura can be such an exciting prospect that it’s easy to be carried away with the idea. Property in Fuerteventura has traditionally been built for the local population but as the popularity of the island becomes greater and word spreads of the climate and laid back way of life so the demand for properties in Fuerteventura will grow. The construction of the golf course has, as in the majority of the other Canary Island golf courses, brought about a boom in Golf property construction to help to offset the huge capital outlay of building a championship golf course in this almost desert like terrain. There is a growing choice of property in Fuerteventura from apartments for holiday use right through the range to the dream (which might come true) of a villa in Fuerteventura by the sea or on the golf course.
Estate agents in Fuerteventura
It is perfectly feasible to buy property in Fuerteventura (as in most countries) without the help of an estate agent but for the majority of English speaking people with no command of the Spanish language it’s far simpler to visit a reputable estate agent specializing in Fuerteventura and take advantage of their local knowledge. A little thought as to the requirements of your property before visiting the estate agent in Fuerteventura, such as researching the internet but also to decide the use, will assist him/her to find a choice of the right type of property in Fuerteventura for you.
