Expat inquiries are on the Up in Sotogrande Spain As the Spanish property market starts to turn its no wonder interest in buying a property on the Sotogrande private residential estate is rapidly improving. Yet the prices remain a lot lower than they were in 2007 but for how long? Maybe now is the right time for that investment abroad Sotogrande in Southern Spain is one of the largest private residential estates in Europe with its own port, Marina developments surrounded by beach, forest, and mountains and bisected by the Guadiaro River. In essence the ideal location for a wonderful full time family lifestyle or alternatively a great safe holiday home location where you can enjoy fishing,golf,tennis,sailing,riding,polo and cycling to name but a few. The development is gated with security cameras in and out whilst Securitas continually patrol the estate and man gates 24 hours a day and are always a phone call away. One of the reasons that people love Sotogrande is the fact that it has a strong community bonded by a wonderful outdoor lifestyle. Many families have children attending the Sotogrande international school which is attended by over 650 children ages between 3years to 18 years studying on the ever popular International Baccalaureate curriculum. Whilst there are many that live in Sotogrande full time there are also many seasonal regulars. People myself included look forward to holiday periods when my circle of friends doubles with families coming and staying for Easter or the whole of the summer. For many of these seasonal regulars you often see fathers commuting during the holidays knowing the family are happy staying in this safe environment.

As an agent formerly selling property on Sandbanks in Dorset I have seen recessions and lived through the recovery. Just like Sandbanks these wealth locations are the place to buy when the recovery starts. Get in at the right time and you maybe buying into a home whose value in a few years time will once again go beyond your reach.

The Hideaways Club An investment and a holiday

In Sotogrande Spain, Tailor Made estate agents

are appointed to promote and sell shares in a property fund that invests in Luxury Villas around the world. This is an investment in freehold property with the advantage that you can stay in anyone of the stunning locations. Those who bought into The Hideaways club 4 years ago have seen the investment rise in value. A share 4 years ago would have cost just over 170,000 pounds. Now to buy a full share costs over 245,000 so profit despite the recession. The portfolio stands at 26 properties and more are added each year.
For those who are interested there is a fully equipped beautiful villa right here in Sotogrande.

We have been promoting this investment to a number of merchant banks who are under pressure to reduce bonus payments so need to find alternative solutions to renumerate high performers. Why not buy into The Hideaways and offer your high performer 6 weeks in luxury villas in stunning locations , or maybe use the villas for high level meetings between directors. For the bank this renumeration to staff can be shown as an assett investment.

This form of investment works well for those who dont want to have the hassle of maintaining a property abroad or who do not like to holiday in the same place. If 6 weeks is not enough you can add additional weeks by buying more weeks.

If you need to sell then the administrators are obliged contractually to sell 1 second hand share for every 2 new shares sold. To date none of the 150 members have asked to sell their share which is a testimonial in itself.
