Murcia attracting attention of European buyers

People from all over Europe have been enquiring about property in the Murcia region of Spain, one local estate agent has noted.

According to Mercers, this summer has been its busiest sales period for five years, with French, Norwegian, British, Irish and Swedish buyers among those interested in homes in the area.

Director of the agency Chris Mercer described the Murcia real estate sector as being "poised in pole position for recovery".

He stressed that price is the most important factor encouraging buyers to consider purchasing a property in this region of Spain, while the golf resorts and improved accessibility are also helping to buoy the market.

Meanwhile, a Paramount theme park is due to open in Murcia in 2014 and is expected to attract more than three million tourists each year, which could encourage investors to add a property here to their portfolio.

And it may also appeal to those considering moving abroad after the uSwitch Quality of Life Index published at the end of September revealed that Spain is the second best place to relocate to based on factors such as taxation, the annual amount of sunshine, retirement age, utilities costs and life expectancy.
