Even though there were some great opportunities to save on off plan properties, the promise of a good return which never seemed to appear have forced people to look at other avenues when purchasing abroad - especially here in Spain.

Is that all! Banks here in Spain were over valuing properties here in Spain over the past couple of years, banks were giving out over 100% mortgages to home buyers now it has shot themselves in the foot. The rate of repossessions has increased this year and it will be evident the effect that the banks have caused within the next year - the properties are being out sourced to estate agencies as they have move chance of selling them with clients that they have on their books, and we are seeing the "serious" buyers coming out in force after monitoring the market for the past year or so. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands have been wiped of the value of properties in some areas sparking investment companies such as Benson Elliot Capital Management to invest heavily in the Spanish property market as constructors panic to keep their companies afloat. Not even the experts know what is going to happen next? 85%? Is that all!
