2014 turned out to be an excellent year for leading homebuilder Taylor Wimpey. The company re-entered the FTSE 100 while its Spanish arm, Taylor Wimpey España, recorded ‘a significant improvement in performance,’ as stated in the Taylor Wimpey trading statement for the year ending 31 December 2014.
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey España, comments,
“We were delighted to see sales of our Spanish properties jump by almost 39% during 2014. The increase is testament to the carefully selected locations and high spec finishes of the properties that Taylor Wimpey España is constructing and shows that even in a difficult market, the right property is still much in demand.”
At the end of the year, the company’s order book was also looking healthy, with 19.5% more properties on it than at the end of 2013.
Spain has long been a popular tourism and second home destination for buyers from across the world. In fact, Taylor Wimpey España sold properties to buyers of 32 different nationalities during 2014, evidencing the widespread appeal that Spanish property holds. Buyers from across the globe see Spain as the ideal location for a second home.
“Spain really does have everything a holidaymaker could wish for,” continues Pritchard. “Sunshine, beautiful beaches, great food and wine, friendly people – it’s all here.”
The Costa Blanca is one of the country’s most popular areas, offering all of this and more, and will be key to the Spanish homebuilder’s year ahead. Key-ready golf properties at Brisas de Alenda are available from just €145,000, while a newly released phase at La Vila Paradis, where prices start at €239,000, is already attracting considerable global attention.
The Costa Blanca is so popular, in fact, that only two townhouses remain available at Taylor Wimpey España’s Calpesol development (prices from €179,500) and just three at its Montesol site (from €252,000).
With house prices in Spain rising for the first time in six years during 2014, according to the country’s national statistics office, the market seems to have finally turned a corner and is looking to the future. Given the success that Taylor Wimpey España achieved during the hard times and the stability of the Spanish property market during 2014, the future looks promising.
