Surge In Completions Keeps Us Busy
Sunday, May 1, 2011 @ 12:05 AM
We had plenty of holidaymakers over for Easter this year again, slightly less due to the Royal Wedding I think! From around 11am on Friday there was barely an email to answer, as most of the UK and a fair chunk of Europe were glued to the TV watching the spectacular events. But the bride had barely said "I do" when the emails started flying again.. of well, thank you Kate and William for a short respite!
The biggest growth area for us this quarter remains the supply of furniture, lighting and other packs to make the villas "key ready" . Our combination of well priced goods and , for Spain, quick and reliable suppliers is proving a hit with our owners and we continue to pick up more properties to kit out in the lovely resort of Mojon Hills.
Two of these are now ready for rental, almost, and it is just as well, as we have seen the usual surge in phone calls from Spanish clients driving around late at night and trying to sort out the summer holiday after a glass or two of vino tinto. And with more completions in the pipeline, it does seem that the market is slowly recovering, and the investors are out there and keen to take advantage of the lower prices and bank repossessions that have appeared on the market.
May is already looking busy and we have had a lot of potential bookings for school summer holidays, unfortunately many villas are now fully booked, but as we are continually taking on new properties, we can usually offer some alternative ideas.
Have a lovely May Bank Holiday!
