EU Property Solutions- Experts in all Spanish property issues

Uncertainty of the pandemic continues around the world as Economies reel because of Coronavirus and imposed lockdowns essential to Public Safety.

Undoubtedly property markets suffer in periods of uncertainty.

2^nd homeowners with property in Spain will be considering selling at this stage. Factors include no rental income for Peak season, declining values imminent, and currently an inability to visit the property.

Selling property during a pandemic comes with its difficulties:

1. The property could be in Negative Equity i.e. the outstanding mortgage is greater than the property value. With prices set to decline again, more borrowers will find themselves in this scenario.
2. Costs of sale in Spain can be 10-12% of the sales price. Vendors must factor this into their calculations.
3. The property must be “priced to sell”. There is a massive supply of 2^nd home properties across the Spanish Costas and being realistic is essential.
4. Demand for 2^nd homes will undoubtedly fall in this period and for the rest of the year as confidence is hit.
5. Lending restrictions imposed last year reduced the buyer pool, we await Banks’ response to this crisis and how their criteria will change again.

As Mark Stucklin said last week:

“If you find yourself in financial distress as a non-resident or second-home owner due to this crisis you may see yourself miss your Spanish mortgage repayments.
