Prospects for the property market in Torrevieja
The huge number of properties available in Torrevieja makes the property market very dynamic. What is important, however, is that the prospects are constantly growing. For several years now, the situation has been favourable for property buyers and sellers. An unquestionable advantage of the property market in Torrevieja is the high availability of cheap properties. The prices of luxury properties in Torrevieja, including those located on the seashore, are comparable to the prices of small properties in the suburbs of non-touristic British cities. Therefore, for many years this market will certainly be very stable and will enable easy purchase or sale of flats to British residents.
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.
