Spain attracts foreign property investors as it promises aliens automatic residency…

Enable Independent has witnessed the decline of Spanish property prices over the past few years. Over development of property in the country has left a glut of housing which has resulted in property prices being axed by as much as 75% in some parts of Spain.



However in the past few months, popularity in investing in Spain has increased as low prices have stimulated growth in the country. This coupled with the fact that Non-EU residents will get automatic residency if they spend over £500,000 from July 2013 has increased interest from people living in Asia, Russia and China.

Foreign investment in the Spanish housing market has increased by 17% in 2012, according to the bank of Spain, a figure not seen since 2004. With most Chinese buyers wanting to invest in Barcelona, as they know they will not only get a great investment on returns but also automatic residency.

Barcelona, Ibiza, Catalonia and the Balearics are the most popular investment areas for overseas investors.

We have found a three bed apartment with views over the sea (as per the photo) and with a communal pool for €410,000 at today’s exchange rate £355,388 it has a terrace with two bathroom and is close to restaurants.

Although there has been an increased interest in property in other areas of Spain it is worth approaching a Spanish house investment with caution, as a country that has been bankrupt, has mass unemployment and a growing water shortage should be handled with care.
