Spanish villas for sale By far the most popular property for those looking to buy in Spain are typical Spanish villas, 2 or 3 beds, pool and sea view. However, many people arrive with unrealistic budgets to match their requirements and often have to compromise on area, plot size, or views. The average budget appears to be 250,000 euros but judging by the enquiries we receive, buyers still expect to be able to pick up a Spanish villa for sale for between 100,000 – 150,000 euros.

It pays to do plenty of research before coming to Spain so that by the time you arrive you are fully prepared to view properties that are within your price range. This saves your time and avoids disappointment. Building a relationship with a local estate agent before you come will help you get an idea of what you can get in different areas. Browsing the internet is also helpful, although some website may have out of date prices.

70% of purchasers are looking for a holiday villa as opposed to permanent residence, and 60% of these are hoping to cover their costs by renting. In this instance, the success will depend heavily on factors that are important to the holidaymaker – proximity to beaches, airport, availability of a pool, shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment. A villa fitting this criteria anywhere along the Spanish costas is not going to come cheap. Picking up a ‘bargain’ Spanish villa an hour in land is not going to bring the same returns as a coastal property.
