Prime property – The best located, most desirable apartments and villas have been retained for immediate sale by Spanish banks who need the cash to rebalance their depleted coffers. Ben Walker, of leading Spanish bank property brokers, Walker Property Spain says it’s a “no brainer” that international buyers would prefer to buy a superior prime property at a hefty discount compared with a sub-prime property that even the bank owners don’t want – no matter how cheap it might be. “Investors are now discovering the quality build, specs, location and local amenities of the prime stuff matches their buying criteria.” Some Spanish bank bargains with sea or golf views are on offer at around EUR 1,000 per sq metre – that’s around a quarter of the original price in some prime Costas. Sub-prime property peaks at €900 per sq metre.
