PROPERTY OF THE YEAR This is your chance to get hold of a luxury penthouse on what is arguably the BEST location between Malaga and Marbella. This penthouse is located on Mijas Golf, just ten minutes from Fuengirola, in a small development called El Limonar (The Lemons) and overlooks Los Lagos golf course on one side and an old olive grove on the other. There are two good sized bedrooms, two marbled bathrooms, a large lounge, a fully fitted kitchen, and two very sunny terraces. There is also a large, 12 square metre, dry, secure storeroom and an allocated parking space in the underground parking area. The price is very competitive at €200,000 and I guarantee that you will be dealing DIRECTLY with the owner as it is our own apartment, and has been our wonderful home for the past five years. We are now looking to find somewhere a little larger as we work from home and use our second bedroom as an office. This makes it a little cramped when we have visitors, which is very frequently! Full details of our apartment can be found here Buying a property in Spain can still be one of the best investments that you will make.... Compared to the UK property prices are still very competitive, and there is a wide choice available to you as a buyer. Living cost are substantially lower than the UK, the climate is far better for your health, particularly if you suffer from joint pain or respiratory problems, and the pace of life is far more conducive to relaxation. We know that there has been a lot of 'doom and gloom' in the UK media lately regarding an imminent crash in the Spanish property market. All we have to say about that is don't believe everything that you read! The Spanish government is investing huge amounts of money in the infrastructure to cope with demand and all the signs are there that the future is very bright. The current redevelopment of the Malaga International Airport to handle the estimated twenty million visitors a year reflects this optimism. This is probably the ideal time to consider purchasing a property in the area as there are many bargains to be had. Many of these are from owners who purchased off-plan a few years ago and are now wishing to release their equity. This accounts for the majority of properties that we have available here. You do have to be aware that in Spain, as in many other parts of the World, it is getting increasingly difficult to get a mortgage as lenders are being far more careful. If you are in the fortunate position to be able to purchase without a mortgage you will find many sellers keen to bargain hard to get your business. When considering buying a property in Spain the same rules apply to your choice as apply anywhere else in the World: Location, Location, Location! Do not make the mistake of looking at a property simply based on the advertised price.
