Perfect place on Costa Blanca?
How to find the perfect place for your property on the Costa Blanca?
In this article, you will only find practical tips to make sure you don’t forget anything and of course, your ideal location is the one you will love, never forget that
- Your sea view
90% of overseas property buyers looking to buy in Spain want proximity to the sea. Unsurprisingly, the Costa Blanca, is on the top of the list of places to search for a property in Spain.
- Your budget
Depending on your budget there are certain locations available or out of reach. So it’s important to calculate your budget before you start your search. Knowing if you are searching in an expensive or cheaper region will help you to define your budget.
- On a tight budget?
The good news is that property prices in Spain are not expensive and the Costa Blanca is not too expensive either. If your budget remains small for your area, our advice is to search further in the countryside, you’ll decrease your budget by at least 20% if you are not searching in a major city.
- What do you want to use your property for?
The first question you should have in mind is what will be the function of your property on the Costa Blanca? We can differentiate between three main purposes:
- A holiday home or second home abroad.
- A primary residence if you want to relocate to, or retire in Spain.
- An investment property.
Each of those functions will mean very different objectives and specific search criteria.
- Location criteria for your Spanish holiday home
Holiday home capacity (the number of bedrooms) is always one of the first ways to start. Proximity to the airport and travel time from your home country are other criteria.
