Prospects for the property market in Gandia
The city of Gandia maintains a very comfortable balance between the Spanish tradition and openness to foreign tourists. Hence, Gandia is so popular with native Spaniards. As a result, the property market in Gandia is relatively stable, because even in the event of a smaller influx of foreign tourists, the Spanish will be interested in buying property.
It is predicted that properties located on the Spanish coast and in tourist centres will enjoy the greatest interest. The high rate of return on investment of up to 10.5% (data from the Spanish Central Bank) should be a big incentive for foreign investors.
Apartments for sale
Apartments are usually associated with great freedom and space, and these are the main features that define this type of property. The modern design of the rooms and the increased standard of the apartment are also very important. Therefore, apartments should be spacious due to the appropriate height of the premises and a large area. There is no clear definition as to what area the apartments should have and therefore it is possible to find apartments with an area of 100 m2 as well as 70 m2. When it comes to apartments for 1 person, the apartment may be just 60 m2. An important requirement is the division of space into day and night zones. In addition, the apartments may have a wardrobe, several bathrooms, a balcony, a terrace or a garden. Apartments are mostly found in central districts, as well as in newly built housing estates. The location of the apartment should be prestigious and comfortable. There should be shops, galleries, cultural and entertainment facilities in the area.
