10 Years of Porta Mallorquina – A Reflection

When Joachim Semrau moved to Majorca in 2001 to relax and enjoy an early retirement after a successful venture with his founded company Travel 24.com AG , the real estate market on the island was completely different than today. There were several well establised so-called “top dogs”. “Mobile Agents” that negotiated real estate without office, only with a business card and phone. Only a few companies had their own professional websites and incoming email inquiries were handled rather trivially. For Joachim Semrau, internet pioneer (Travel 24.com the first group-independent Internet travel portal in Germany) this was an incredible opportunity. However, the industry was affordable at that time, prices rose at double digits every year and for almost any property they found buyers. It all ...

Holiday Rentals – 3 Sample calculations of return on investment

To achieve a lucrative return on investment (RoI), the location of the property (whether it is an attractive travel destination all year round, attractive to several target groups such as cyclists, beach tourists, etc.) and the interior design play a crucial role. They determine the maximum daily rate that can be charged, and the property’s rental capacity. In the latter regard, the rental agency involved plays an important part. Experience tells us that during the first year, when the property is new to the market, there are not as many lettings as in subsequent years, because good properties have a high rate of repeat guests. Premium properties can achieve letting capacity of up to 75% p.a. The average gross return is generally in the region of 4 to 6 percent over the long term. ...

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...
