I just joined and I´m suprised at the diversity of this site. Excellent work by the owners.

I hope I can contribute something useful here.

Good Idea Darren! My name is Chris Thorpe and I am resident in Andalucia. I am a partner in two companies here, one manufacturing timber frame properties, specialising in new-build options in Spain and the other business deals with distressed properties released to us in Costa del Sol. If we can be of any help in any way, to those considering a move out here please contact us, and we will help wherever we can.

[quote=wolf;48452]Hello jerard

Thank you for your introduction and offer to supply information.

I would like to know what your opinion is on further investment in property in Spain.

Demand for Spanish property is on a downward trend and there is a glut of houses. Which means there seems to be little point of going over to Spain with the hope of fixing up a piece of property and selling it with some profit, considering the amount of houses and appartments on the market.

Or is it the case there is still investment to be made by concentrating on appartments or houses nearer to prime central locations of big cities like Valencia, Alicante etc despite the glut of houses/appartments and the downward trend in demand?

Or am I just "howling" in the wind?

Appreciate any views you would have on this. Thank you.

Hi Wolf, If you are looking for property to buy, reform then sell on, Inland Andalucia has loads of opportunity. Granada, Jaen, Cordoba Valley all have dozens of such properties on the market at very sensible money. So if you choose wisely, a reformed property will sell inland. Where I live in Spain about 40kms inland Marbella, loads of ex-pats who came here to live the dream are moving further inland to the 'real' spain, because of the population growth seen in this area over the past 5/6 years. So get busy on the net "properties for sale inland andalucia" is a start.

Any questions??
