Overview

As a serious investor you can expect above average returns from investing in Off-Plan Spanish property developments.
Why? Four reasons:

1. Your property is priced BELOW today's market value (You literally buy your property at a discounted price).
2. Your equity is limited to only around 30% of your property's price. (You only pay a fraction of the total sales price to secure your ownership rights).
3. During construction you can sell your property on to a 'lifestyle' buyer benefiting from any pre-scheduled price increases from the developer and additional capital market growth.
4. Or, elect to go to Title Deed and complete your purchase; then sell the property on approximately two years later and see potentially even bigger gains on your investment due to the development's 'mature' status and desirability (it's easier to sell a completed apartment with a beautiful swimming pool and gardens than something still in construction)

There are  3 Golden Rules to consider when purchasing off-plan property for investment:   

          
1. Location, Location, Location (close to amenities, beach, sea views, on a golf course)
2. Try to buy in a lower density development, increasing your chances of successful re-sale with minimal competition
3. Quality always wins out.  You get what you pay for...
