Five good reasons to buy a property in Mallorca in 2016

Two years ago the official bodies (Estadística Registral Inmobiliaria, ERI and Instituto Nacional de Estadística, INE) determined once again, for the first time since the Spanish property crisis in 2008, that property sales in the Balearic islands had significantly increased (+ 18.5%), and 2015 saw the upswing continue with an increase of 14.6%.

Estate agent in Mallorca – a dream job swimming with the sharks

Interview with Porta Mallorquina CEO Joachim Semrau, published in Bellevue, Europe's largest real estate magazine, issue 4/2016. Bellevue: Mr. Semrau, estate agent in Mallorca is for many the dream job par excellence. But how does it look in reality? Joachim Semrau: "Actually, some people have totally false ideas about our profession here. Anyone who thinks it is enough to show luxury, high-priced villas by the sea a few times and make a few sales to secure their annual income is way out of place here. The property market in Mallorca is a shark tank, many brokers compete for the same customers and the successful ones are those who score points through competence, diligence and above average service orientation. Newcomers, particularly, need to be able to hold their breathe ...

Majorcan real estate as an investment – why now is the time to buy at good value

“The property market in the UK threatens the overall economy,” and similar developments are determined by the British property market.

As a consequence, the prices of real estate are rising rapidly. Consequence: Rapid rise in prices Since 2000, housing prices have risen in Britain by 109%. The average price of a house has risen to a new high of the equivalent of about 230,000 euros. Since the spring of 2013, the prices recorded have increased massively in the UK, especially in London where the property ...

Surfing the real estate portals one almost has the impression that Germany has been “bought up completely”. A holiday home as an investment: Majorca is increasingly becoming the focus of European investors looking for real estate that offers high returns and retains its value. The situation i...
