Leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España has announced big plans for the first half of 2019. The company will be launching six developments in the first six months of the year. Located in the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and Balearic Islands, the developments will provide a total of 330 superb quality homes, alongside a range of communal pools and other shared facilities.
“2018 has been an excellent year for Spanish property and 2019 looks set to be even better. I’m delighted to be moving into the year ahead in such a strong position. We are building with confidence, as shown by our commitment to six new launches in H1 2019. Each development will have its own unique charms and style, while delivering the high quality accommodation for which we have been known over the past 60 years of building in Spain.”
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España
The success of Pier, the company’s latest Costa del Sol development, in the upscale Sotogrande area, shows the strength of the current appetite for Spanish second homes. Within four months of the development being announced, 30% of the 56 elegant, spacious homes have already been reserved.
The sun is certainly shining on Spanish property in general at present. The volume of house sales has just hit its highest level in a decade, increasing by 9.7% in the year to September 2018, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE). Meanwhile, experts at the Institut de Tecnologia de la Construccio de Catalunya (ITEC) have predicted that the current boom will continue until 2021 before beginning to slow down.
Research from Savills shows that it is British and German second home owners who are currently snapping up properties in Spain faster than any other nation – a finding which Taylor Wimpey España’s own experience backs up. According to Savills, British buyers’ top three preferred second home locations in the world include two of the areas in which Taylor Wimpey España is active: the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca.
“We listen closely to what our buyers want and shape our developments accordingly, both in terms of location and the type of properties that we offer. At Pier, for example, we’ve included an option for buyers to purchase two two/three-bedroom apartments off plan in order to create one vast, four/five-bedroom apartment. We’ll continue to take buyer preferences into account like this with our 2019 developments. It’s going to be a busy year!”
