After a very strict lockdown in order to fight Covid-19, Spain is gradually returning to the new normality. To come out of the lockdown, Spain has implemented a four-phase plan designed to open up businesses and get people back to work gradually. Additionally, from July, Spain would once more be welcoming back foreign tourists as per the oficial announcement of Spanish prime minister.
Spanish daily newspaper El Pais (The Country) quotes the Socialist Party (PSOE) leader of saying the below to comment on the current situation in Spain:
“The hardest part is over; we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Now the epicenter has moved to other parts of the planet, as is happening, for example, on the American continent. The response of the Spanish people has been formidable. Everyone has fulfilled their mission, and they came together to deal with the epidemic.”
“The first achievement: to flatten the curve,” he continued. “The second achievement: when those who have recovered exceed new infections. The third achievement will be to reduce the spread of the virus as much as possible. Yesterday the reproduction rate was 0.20. Today we can say that we have achieved this not by luck, but with determination. We have taken the correct path. The Spanish people have forced the virus to retreat.”
We are looking forward to welcoming back soon the international tourism to Spain. Safety protocols from the government designed for the protection of our clients, staff members and collaborators, returning towards our business as usual will of course be implemented and followed.
Thank you to everyone for your support and collaboration through these difficult times and our best wishes to you and your families.
We look forward to seeing you soon on the Costa del Sol

There’s helpful news for you if you intend to buy a property in Marbella with Alpha Estates Marbella this year. So far in 2019, since January 1st, the pound to euro interbank exchange rate has risen by +4.63%, or over +5 cents, from 1.1087 up to 1.1601 at the time of writing.
As a result, when you transfer money from the UK to your Spanish bank account, you might potentially get a higher euro total, compared to the start of the year. In turn, this might now make achieving your goal of buying real estate in Marbella more affordable for you, compared to 3 months ago.
Marbella Property Now Potentially Cheaper Than at Start of 2019
Let’s put this rise in the sterling versus euro interbank exchange rate into context for you. Imagine that you plan to transfer £265,000 to Spain in the next few weeks, to buy a luxury 2-bedroom apartment in Fuengirola with sea views.
At the interbank exchange rate on January 1st of 1.1087, this sum would have been worth €293,805.50. By comparison, at today’s interbank exchange rate of 1.1601, this sum would be worth €307,426.50.
That’s an increase of +€13,621 in the last 14 weeks. So it’s straightforward to see how this may make buying Marbella property more accessible.
Pound Rises Versus Euro, as “No Deal” Brexit Looks Less Likely
A big reason why the pound has risen versus the euro so far in 2019 is because financial markets feel much calmer about the outlook for Brexit. In particular, it’s now thought unlikely that the UK will crash out of the European Union without a deal.
This is because, first, the UK Parliament has voted several times to rule out a “No Deal” Brexit. In addition, the EU recently extended the UK’s Brexit timetable to October 31st.
This suggests that the EU still feels good will toward the UK, and wants to reach a deal. So this has helped lift the value of sterling against the Eurozone’s currency.
Sterling Gains in Value, as UK Economy Outperforms Eurozone
In addition, another factor why sterling has increased in value by over +5 cents versus the euro this year to date is because the UK’s economy is performing comparatively well.
For instance, we recently learnt that Britain’s economy expanded by a solid +0.2% in February, even with the Brexit uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank (ECB) has repeatedly cut its growth forecasts for the Eurozone. Recently, ECB President Mario Draghi hinted that he may unveil further monetary stimulus, to support GDP growth. So this too then has helped to boost sterling.
To conclude then, the pound to euro interbank exchange rate has risen notably since the start of this year. When you transfer money to Spain, you might now get a significantly higher euro total in your Spanish bank account, compared to on January 1st. This contributes to make this a top time to buy property in Marbella.

Fastighetsmarknaden på Costa del Sol och i Marbella är hetare än någonsin. Det är ingen tvekan om att nu är en bra tid att sälja din egendom. Ändå finns det fastigheter som legat till salu under en längre tid och får folk att undra – är fastighetsmarknaden i Marbella lika bra som alla säger?
Ja, den är så bra som alla säger, faktiskt ännu bättre. Fastighetspriserna stiger, efterfrågan är mycket hög och de flesta köparna behöver inte inteckning och har en budget på över 250.000 euro. Så varför är ditt hus fortfarande inte sålt? Nedan ger vi några exempel och rekommendationer om hur man säljer:
1. Människor är redo att spendera sina pengar på att köpa en vacker lägenhet eller villa på Costa del Sol, men ingen är redo att köpa en dyr fastighet. Hur löser du det? Be din fastighetsmäklare att rekognosera försäljningspriserna på samma plats, på fastigheter med liknande egenskaper. Priserna beräknas vanligtvis efter kvadratmeter. Se till att din egendom har ett rättvisande pris och är i överensstämmelse med marknad och grannskap. Vi rekommenderar också att du lämnar utrymme i priset för förhandlingar.
2. Den här punkten är nära kopplad till den första. Som säljare i Spanien har du kostnader i samband med försäljningen, nämligen plus valia (kommunalskatt) och eventuell vinstskatt. Vi rekommenderar starkt att du pratar med din advokat som kan hjälpa dig att beräkna dessa kostnader innan försäljning.
3. De flesta köpare skaffar sig redan efter tio sekunder ett beslut om vad de tycker om en viss egendom . Men avgörandet beror ju också mycket på lokalitet, närhet till stranden och / eller bekvämligheter, men det finns även andra faktorer som har stort värde. När du går in i någons hus, har saker som lukt, känsla och renlighet en omedelbar inverkan. Hur löser du det? Väldigt lätt! Se till att din plats är ren, fönster är öppna för att släppa in frisk luft eller sätt dit några doftljus och se till att inga spindlar tittar på dig från taken.
4. Det är dags att fixa allt som behövs. Se till att ditt hus är i fungerande ordning, eftersom potentiella köpare alltid tittar på dessa detaljer. Om ditt hus skall säljas omöblerat, måla om det så att det ser nytt och fräscht ut.
5. Som stolt fastighetsägare i Spanien måste du se till att allt pappersarbete för din lägenhet är i ordning – kolla att dina samfällighetsavgifter, lokala skatter och sophämtning är betalda. Alla dessa punkter kan låta obetydliga men det återspeglar dig som en seriös säljare.
Så, nu har du det rätta försäljningspriset på din fastighet, den är städad och uppfräschad och du har förberett allt pappersarbete. Varför har den inte blivit såld?
Det finns ingen idealisk fastighet i hela världen som passar för alla. Det finns dock många människor för vilka din egendom är en idealisk match. Vårt jobb som din fastighetsmäklare är att hitta dessa människor och låta dem se din fastighet. Att välja en fastighetsmäklare vid försäljning av din egendom är liktydigt med att välja en mäklare som hjälper dig köpa en fastighet. Alpha Estates Marbella har stor erfarenhet av båda – att sälja och köpa – och skiljer oss på många sätt från andra fastighetsmäklare på Costa del Sol. Vi erbjuder en personlig strategi, innovativ marknadsföring och fantasi.
Så hur skiljer sig Alpha Estates Marbella från andra fastighetsmäklare när det gäller att sälja ditt hem på Costa del Sol?
1. Personlig tillvägagångssätt.
Vi förfogar inte över långa listor med fastigheter till salu från säljare. Det finns andra fastighetsbyråer på Costa del Sol som har många fler uppdrag än vi har. Men att ha långa listor är inte vårt mål, vårt mål är att hjälpa dig att sälja ditt hem. Kvalitet, inte kvantitet.
2. Innovativ marknadsföring.
För att hitta rätt kund för din fastighet måste vi nå ut till rätt personer. Varje hus vi får för försäljning är unikt, därför förbereder vi en skräddarsydd marknadsföringsstrategi. Det inkluderar allt från e-postmarknadsföring till ett strategiskt tillvägagångssätt för portalhantering.
3. Idéer
Erfarenheten har lärt oss, att den väsentliga nyckeln till en lyckad fastighetsförsäljning i Spanien är läckra, professionella fotografier som speglar atmosfären. Vi arbetar med fantasi och och har som mål att presenterar din egendom på bästa möjliga sätt med en personlig touch.
