Spanish Golf property values remain strong

According to industry experts in Spain, Golf property is holding its value much better than the national average. Data compiled by real-estate professionals found that Golf property had held its value between 10 to 15% more than other properties in the country.

Golf developments have thrived attracting a lot of investor attention while providing Spain with exceptional golfing facilities. There are a number of reasons why Golf properties have succeeded as investments where ‘stand alone’ properties have fallen short.

Firstly there is a higher demand for Golf property simply because of what it offers. Property near Golf courses appeals to Golfers for obvious reasons but it also attracts a lot of demand from expats and retirees as these properties are often easy to maintain and offer a higher level of security and community living. A gated Golf development acts as a source of constant entertainment, provides great views for all its properties and offers demand for your property when you’re not there as a holiday let; which brings us to the second reason – rental income.

The holiday-let aspect to this kind of property makes it a great investment. Golf properties are a great source of regular income with the Golf season lasting the majority of the year unlike other properties that rely on the prime holiday months for occupancy. May – August are simply bumper months for Golf property owners who can further capitalise on their investment. The strong rental incomes associated with these properties means they are always more likely to retain their value.

The combination of high rental yields and high demand meaning there are more exit options art re-sale have continued to attract investors to Spainish Golf properties ultimately helping them hold their value.
