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.

Fastighetsmarknaden på Costa del Sol är högaktuell just nu och nya fastigheter och off-plan-fastigheter röner stor efterfrågan. Skälet till varför våra kunder väljer off-plan-byggnationerna är uppenbara: nyskapande modern design, stora fönster från golv till tak , kök med öppen planlösning med modernaste inredning och utrustning, energi- och miljöeffektivt, vilket skiljer sig stort från de försäljningsfastigheter på Costa del Sol som byggts i medelhavsstil.
Köpare är angelägna om att kunna köpa till ett lägre pris, därför är efterfrågan på off-plan-fastigheter i Marbella-området enorm.
Vi vill här klargöra hur förfarandet för köp av off-plan-fastigheter fungerar i Spanien, hur due diligence-processen för off-plan-fastigheter ser ut, och vilka inköpskostnader som är förknippade med köp av ny fastighet på Costa del Sol.
1. Vilket förfarande används vid köp av off-plan-fastigheter på Costa del Sol?
Proceduren vid köp av off-plan-fastigheter på Costa del Sol är okomplicerad men varierar beroende på byggnadslov och byggnadsfas. Vanligtvis ser det ut så här:
– En initial depositionsavgift (mellan 6 000 – 10 000 €) betalas för att avlägsna den utvalda enheten från marknaden. Denna kan betalas direkt till byggherren, eller sättas in på din advokats spärrkonto. Detta möjliggör att undersökningar görs för att säkerställa att byggprocessen är laglig. Om inte, kommer depositionen att återbetalas.
– När undersökningen är klar skall handpenningen betalas och köpekontraktetet undertecknas. Handpenningen ligger normalt mellan 10% och 30% av slutsumman. Den betalda summan kommer att täckas av en bankgaranti / försäkring som tillhandahålls av byggherren.
– I vissa fall, när byggnaden uppnått en särskild fas eller milstolpe, kan ytterligare en handpenning behöva betalas.
– När byggnaden är klar kommer byggherren att ansöka om den första besittningslicensen. När denna har beviljats (utan sådan kan inte el och vatten anslutas), och slutsumman att betalas (vanligtvis 60-70% av priset). Du kommer att underteckna handlingarna och uppvisa betalningbeviset för en notarie. Fastigheten är nu din och allt du behöver göra är att instruera din advokat att ta hand om anslutningen av vatten, el etc.
2. Vad innebär due diligence processen vid köp av off-plan-egendom i Marbella?
Due diligence innebär iakttagande av regler vad gäller samhällsavgifter, lokala skatter,el, vatten etc. Din advokat kommer att utföra en serie egendomskontroller kallad en Due Diligence-rapport. Den innehåller vanligtvis följande vid köp av ny egendom på Costa del Sol:
– Den juridiska identiteten hos ägaren / säljaren av den fasta egendom du avser att köpa.
– Att fastigheten under uppförande är lagligt registrerad i motsvarande fastighetsregister.
– Att fastigheten är fri från avgifter (inteckningar, panter, förpliktelser etc.) Byggherren har i regel en inteckning för finansieringen av byggandet. Skulle köparen inte vara intresserad av att ta över den proportionella delen av finansieringen för en inteckning på fastigheten, måste det avbrytas före färdigställandet, och alla avbokningskostnader betalas av byggherren.
– Att fastigheten har beviljats motsvarande kommunalt bygglov och uppehållstillstånd (om tillämpligt) av Stadshuset i fråga, och respekterar lokala stadsplaneringsregler.
– Att byggspecifikationen eller kvalitetsspecifikationerna är tillgängliga för köparen och ingår i bilagan till köpeavtalet.
– Att det finns en bankgaranti eller försäkringspolicy på plats som en garant för de pengar som betalats till byggherren under byggprocessen.
– Bekräfta och kontrollera innehållet i den obligatoriska 10 års försäkringsgarantin (Seguro Decenal) som täcker eventuella strukturella fel på fastigheten.
– Revidering av köpavtalet utarbetat av byggherren för att säkerställa att dess innehåll respekterar köparens rättigheter och är i fullständigt samförstånd med köparen.
3. Kostnader i samband med inköp av off-plan-fastigheter i Marbella är följande:
10% moms
1% notarieavgift
1% juridiska avgifter
1.5% stämpelskatt
Totalt för nya fastigheter: ca 13.5%

The Real estate market on the Costa del Sol and in Marbella is heating up. There is no doubt that now is a great time to sell your property. Nevertheless, there are some listings which stay on the market for quite a while and make people wonder – is the real estate market in Marbella as good as everyone says?
Yes, it is as good as everyone says, in fact even better. The property prices are rising, the demand is very high, and most of the buyers do not require mortgages and have a budget of more than 250.000 euros. So why is your house still not sold? Below we give some examples and recommendations on how to sell:
1. People are ready to spend their money to buy a beautiful apartment or a villa on the Costa del Sol, but no one is ready to purchase an overpriced property. How to solve it? Ask your real estate agent to do research for you to check what the asking prices are in the same location, with similar characteristics. A square meter price is usually calculated. Make sure your property is fairly priced according to the market and neighbourhood. We also advise to leave a little in the price for negotiations.
2. This point closely relates with the first point. As a vendor in Spain you have costs associated with the sale, namely plus valia and possibly profit taxes. We strongly recommend talking with your solicitor who can help you to calculate these costs prior.
3. Most buyers make a decision about what they think of a particular property within the first 10 seconds. Of course, things such as location, proximity to the beach or/and amenities do factor in, however there are other factors that have a lot of value. When you enter someones house, things such as smell, feel and cleanliness make an immediate impact. How to solve it? Very easy! Make sure your place is clean, windows are open to let in fresh air or put some scented candles on, and that no spiders are looking at you from the ceilings.
4. It is a time to fix everything that needs to fixed. Make sure your house is in working order as potential buyers will always look at those details. In case your house will go for sale unfurnished, give it a fresh paint so it looks well taken care of.
5. As a proud property owner in Spain, you need to make sure that the paperwork for your apartment is in order – check if you are up to date with community fees, local taxes, and basura. All these points may sound insignificant but it reflects you as a serious vendor.
So, now when you have fairly priced your property, made sure it is well presented and prepared all the paperwork – Why is it still not sold?
There is no ideal property in the world that would fit everyone. However, there are many people for whom your property is an ideal match. Our job as your real estate agent is to find those people and bring them to see your property. Choosing a real estate agent to sell your house is as choosing an agent who will help you buy a property. Having vast experience with both – selling and buying – we at Alpha Estates Marbella know what distinguishes us from other real estate agents on the Costa del Sol. We offer without question – A Personalized Approach, Innovative Marketing, and Imagination.
So, how does Alpha Estates Marbella differ from other real estate agents when it comes to selling your home on the Costa del Sol?
1. Personalized approach.
We do not have a huge portfolio of direct listings from vendors. Some other real estate agencies on the Costa del Sol have way more listings than us. However, to get more listings is not our aim, our aim is to help you sell your home. Quality not Quantity.
2. Innovative marketing.
In order to find the right customer for your house, we need to reach out to the right people. But every house we get listed is unique, therefore for every listing we get we prepare a tailor made marketing strategy. That includes everything from email marketing strategies and a strategic approach to portal management.
3. Imagination.
Our experience has taught us, the essential key to selling a property in Spain is good professional photographs and soul. We work with imagination and present your property in the best way possible, trying to give it a personality.
Whether you are looking to sell your property on the Costa del Sol, or need an advice/assistance regarding real estate in Marbella, get in touch with our expert team today. We are at Alpha Estates Marbella are always there to help, and we do not just help to sell and buy properties, we value personal relationships and make friends too.
