The Costa del Sol has long been one of the most desirable locations in Europe in which to buy new and off-plan properties. The excellent weather, a good infrastructure, golf courses, beach clubs, amazing restaurants and a vibrant nightlife all go a long way to keeping the area in and around Marbella ever popular.

New developments and off-plan properties on the Costa del Sol are hugely in demand amongst buyers looking for the simplicity of turnkey projects within easy reach of the airports at Gibraltar and Málaga. The convenience of simply moving straight in with a minimum of fuss attracts holidaymakers and second-home buyers as well as relocating families and retirees, who all come to Marbella largely to enjoy the lifestyle, security and sunshine.

Nowadays, the exiting brand new developments generally feature high quality, energy efficient designs, which incorporate all the latest build technologies so popular with discerning buyers. Top quality off-plan new developments are now selling out within weeks of being launched, and prices are steadily increasing. Meanwhile, mortgage rates continue to be low in Spain, making now a great time to invest on a new property development in Marbella.

The beauty of buying off-plan property on the Costa del Sol is that you can actually buy for up to 40% below the market price, and with low entry initial payments, you stand to lock in plenty of value right from the start, after which the price increases with future phases. You are also often able to choose the finishes you like—then sit back and relax until your modern new home is completed.

Choose your new Costa del Sol property close to the beach and/or the golf course, and you will invariably find yourself not far from all the necessary amenities such as supermarkets, bars, restaurants, shops, schools and health centres.
