PROFILE and PURCHASE GUIDE I Would Like to Take This Opportunity of Welcoming You to Juan Porsellanes and to Tell You a Little About Us and the Services on Offer The finest address in the Costa Blanca GALERIE INTERNATIONAL Regional Office Jenny & Nigel Stephens Old Fallow, Little Comberton, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 3ES, England Tel/Fax: 01386 710570 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.montepego.co.uk The picturesque Northern C O S T A B L A N C A, Spain . near Denia, Javea and Pego PROFILE AND PURCHASE GUIDE I would like to take this opportunity of welcoming you to Juan Porsellanes and to tell you a little about us and the services on offer. Firstly, however, because of pressures caused by increasing prices the company has introduced the following price guarantee and ethical business practise to allow you some ‘breathing space’ whilst choosing a property. NB. Our prices include IVA taxes and elevation/underbuild costs - normally considerable in cost. PRICE GUARANTEE Property prices in Monte Pego continue to increase. Our guarantee is that prices prevailing at the time we book your viewing trip or appointment will remain in force until 1 week after the completion of your Monte Pego tour. Visits can be booked up to 3 months in advance. INDEPENDENT VIEWING TRIPS You can book an inspection visit with us secure in the knowledge that we leave you with plenty of time for you to have a general look around independently. Moreover, not only are our trips without obligation to purchase but, uniquely, the company will hold the price of any new villa you are considering without a deposit for a while after you return in order to give you time to make a considered choice. So, you can leave your cheque book at home. PEACE OF MIND The company recognises that many purchasers are naturally concerned about the quality of their investment in Spain together with the integrity of the company with whom they are dealing. JUAN PORSELLANES is an award winning family business designing and building villas and communities for over 47 years and acknowledged as one of the best established and most highly regarded companies on the Costa Blanca. With many sales resulting from referrals from existing customers, we know that this is a privilege which is dependent upon looking after our customer’s interest’s way beyond completion. LRAU - Valencia Land Grab issue - UK solicitors Baily Gibson & Co, Tel +44 (0)1494 672661, have stated the following: "PLOTS IN MONTE PEGO ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE NEW VALENCIA URBANISTIC LAW" (also known as Land Grab). Monte Pego was urbanised in 1974. As before, property in Monte Pego can continue to be purchased, with confidence. DESIGNERS AND BUILDERS OF BEAUTIFUL VILLAS Each villa is superbly designed and crafted to a high specification. Our villas are built in the traditional way rather than the flat-pack-assemble-on-site process common in the Southern Costa Blanca. We have a highly talented architectural team and each villa can be individually designed at no extra cost. A new design is surprisingly simple to achieve: we will show you several different models of completed villas piecing together all the ideas and features that you prefer. Obviously, the final design has to conform to the needs of good taste and must enhance the aesthetic quality of the surrounding area. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination! Galerie International is a member of the Federation of Overseas Property Developers Agents and Consultants. FOPDAC 1 www.montepego.co.uk BUY DIRECT The policy at Juan Porsellanes is one of dealing directly with their clients - either in Spain or through their representative in London. This way, you have a direct line of communication with English speaking staff in one of the most professional and long established companies in this field. Consequently, you have a much greater influence on the overall design of your villa; its interior specification; progress towards completion and after sales service. NB. We are fortunate in Monte Pego in that we do not need agents in Spain for our properties to sell which is why we only ever sell direct. SO, WHERE IN THE COSTA BLANCA? The company has a huge variety of plots on the Costa Blanca, all of which are situated close to Moraira, Javea, Denia and Oliva, easily the most picturesque part of the Costa Blanca and in the only area in Spain proclaimed by the World Health Organisation as having “one of the most environmentally perfect climates in the world”. Simply, the finest address in the Costa Blanca MONTE PEGO established now for 23 years is considered to be one of the most beautiful, rural and exclusive residential communities in the Costa Blanca. Renowned for its superb year round climate, wonderful light and brilliant, clear night sky, dazzling in a myriad of stars and meteor showers astronomers take note! Moreover, the panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, Mediterranean Sea and the village of Pego – itself an island amongst a sea of orange trees, is simply magnificent. Luxurious villas and a serene lifestyle with sufficient seclusion yet easy access to facilities - the beach is 5 minutes drive away: it is all too easy to see why Monte Pego has such a high proportion of permanent residents, and with such a high proportion of owners living permanently in Monte Pego, levying Community fees is unnecessary as people look after their own villas. We do have a villa servicing department on site for non-residents. Monte Pego is also famous for its abundant mountain spring water. No water cuts and no shortages. In fact, the water is so good, the same water source is bottled and sold as the local “Evian”. Local facilities: shops, stores, bars and restaurants, three outstanding golf courses, banks, tennis courts and nearby medical centres and hospitals. A few minutes drive inland is the typically Spanish village of Pego with its excellent school. A few minutes drive towards the sea brings you to the bustling and historic fishing port of Denia, with its beautiful village houses, squares and clean white blue-flag sandy beaches, from which the Costa Blanca takes its name. Snow Skiing - ski in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon. The winter ski resorts of Valdelinares and Javalambre are just over 2 hours drive North of Monte Pego. Most plot sizes range from 500m2 to 2000m2 and start from around £73,000 with average plot prices being in the region of £85,000. Plot prices tend to be determined more by location than by size. Each plot has mains services laid on i.e. water, electricity and mains drainage. * PLOT ONLY: You can buy the plot now and contract the villa whenever you are ready. *NB. A few of the more remote plots have septic tank drainage. Galerie International is a member of the Federation of Overseas Property Developers Agents and Consultants. FOPDAC 2 www.montepego.co.uk YOUR VILLA CAN BE SURPRISINGLY INEXPENSIVE Casa Alegria, Detached freehold 131.7m2 villa with 3 bedrooms, terrace, porch, BBQ and pool on your choice of a 500m2 to 1000m2 plot. A special price of only 294,396 Euros (£205,871 @ 1.43€/£) including IVA taxes. Economy of scale enables such low prices. Construction quality is the same as on higher priced villas. Larger, higher or lower priced plots can be chosen simply by paying the difference. FREE ELEVATION All companies charge a substantial amount for the elevation of the villa when your choice of plot has a slope. We do not charge for this, even though the elevation provides you with an opportunity for adding considerable additional accommodation in the lower level. An additional space gain of around 50% or more is common (one use is to provide an apartment for guests). MORTGAGES Repayment (life-policy-free) mortgages secured on either your UK home or the villa you are buying, for up to 70% of the purchase price, can be arranged. The term is up to 25 years. The loan can be in any currency and the interest charged is currently around 4% (Euro). PAYING FOR YOUR VILLA Normally, construction payments are in stages of; (a: €12k) (b: 10% less €12k) (c: 20%) (d: 30%) (e: 30%) and (f: 10%). The first payment (a) secures the plot and fixes the price; (b) when contracts are signed; (c) once your plans are finalised; (d) once foundations are built; (e) when the roof is on, and the final payment (f) once the villa is completed to your satisfaction. Plot payments are paid in stages of 10%, 30% then 60% over 7 months. This increases your security by enabling you to register the plot in your name once only 30% of the construction has been paid for. Alternatively, you may wish to purchase the land before starting the villa: in which case you pay for the plot outright and construction in similar stages to above. Contracts are fixed price, and in both Spanish and English. All plots are freehold. FOREIGN CURRENCY Foreign Currency Direct is our currency dealer. FCD charges less for transfers and give improved rates of exchange over other sources. FCD hold the funds of Monte Pego clients in a secure client account. To obtain a quote: Tel: 0800 328 5884 and quote ref: RA-Pego-P or send e-mail to: [email protected] SOLICITORS We recommend that, for your own peace of mind, you use a bonded solicitor in order to transact your purchase. We will be happy to pass on details of solicitors recommended by our clients. VILLA CARE The primary function of MAYORDOMO is to care for your property. Services available are; interior and exterior maintenance, valet, pool maintenance, gardening and letting to provide you with rental income.

    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Airbnb Offer in Spain—Spatial Analysis of the Pattern and Determinants of Its Distribution Czesław Adamiak 1,2,* , Barbara Szyda 1 , Anna Dubownik 1 and David García-Álvarez 3 1 Department of Spatial Planning and Tourism, Faculty of Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University, 87-100 Toru´n,Poland; [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (A.D.) 2 Department of Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences, Umeå University, 901 87 Umeå, Sweden 3 Departamento de Análisis Geográfico Regional y Geografía Física, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, University of Granada, 18072 Granada, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-56-611-2571 Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 15 March 2019; Published: 22 March 2019 Abstract: The rising number of homes and apartments rented out through Airbnb and similar peer-to-peer accommodation platforms cause concerns about the impact of such activity on the tourism sector and property market. To date, spatial analysis on peer-to-peer rental activity has been usually limited in scope to individual large cities. In this study, we take into account the whole territory of Spain, with special attention given to cities and regions with high tourist activity. We use a dataset of about 250 thousand Airbnb listings in Spain obtained from the Airbnb webpage, aggregate the numbers of these offers in 8124 municipalities and 79 tourist areas/sites, measure their concentration, spatial autocorrelation, and develop regression models to find the determinants of Airbnb rentals’ distribution. We conclude that apart from largest cities, Airbnb is active in holiday destinations of Spain, where it often serves as an intermediary for the rental of second or investment homes and apartments.

  • Spanish Hotel Market Resort Destinations
    es.christie.com Spanish Hotel Market Resort Destinations This report analyses the main Spanish coastal resort destinations in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, including Balearic Islands and Canary Islands, highlighting the development of their main hotel performance indicators in 2018. Benefiting from the instability of Mediterranean competitors (Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt), the Spanish resort markets have experienced robust recovery with record numbers in demand, supply and profitability. Consequently, during the last years these markets have turned out as one of the main drivers of tourism growth in the country and, for two consecutive years, have seen a concentration of the majority of hotel investment volume in Spain. Due to qualitative improvements in hotel supply, as well as the opening of new hotels focused on the luxury segment, hotel rates have increased, driving hotel performance consolidation in a more competitive environment. However, the recovery of the Mediterranean competitor destinations and the decrease in UK demand (the main international feeder market) due to Brexit, in addition to the effects of climate change, might affect future demand levels. Throughout this report we analyse the economic, tourism and hotel framework of each resort destination, using public information sources that include: Exceltur, the National Statistics Institute (INE), AENA (Spanish Airports and Air Navigation), Ministerio de Fomento de España, and Alimarket, as well as Christie & Co’s sources. Due to qualitative improvements in hotel supply, as well as the opening of new hotels focused on the luxury segment, hotel rates have increased, driving hotel performance consolidation in a more competitive environment 2 | Christie & Co KEY OBSERVATIONS DEMAND CONSOLIDATION While international demand decreased mainly due to the recovery of Mediterranean competitor markets, the domestic segment consolidated, stabilising overall tourism demand EXCELLENT AIR ACCESSIBILITY There are 22 airports serving Spanish resort markets representing c.

    COSTA NEWS, October 30-November 5, 2015 Page 57 Anglo Spanish Association visits Segovia, Salamanca and Ciudad Rodrigo October 4 saw 29 members of the Anglo Spanish Associ- ation led by Chairman, David Decker depart on a once in a lifetime trip to Segovia, Salamanca and Ciudad Ro- drigo Members had an opportunity to explore Segovia, the cathedral and the Roman Aqueduct before setting off for Salamanca, via Avila, stopping at a mirador outside of Avila to take photos of the magnificent battlements which completely surround the old city. As a result of this many of our members decided that on a free day in Salamanca, they would travel by train to Avila to ex- plore it further. Salamanca is a city founded in pre-Roman times, but first developed by the Romans in the first century BC. The name 'golden city' is a reference to the stone which almost every building is built from, having the same golden colour which you find in buildings in Bath They stayed at the Parador in Salamanca with many of the rooms offering spectacular uninterrupted views over the old city. The next day the guide starting at the Plaza Mayor, walked them all through the 'golden city' with the group gleaning many interesting facts about the buildings and sites. Lunch was at the delightful Res- taurant Le Sablon in the centre of the city, new small museum in the city walls, and enjoyed a talk encamped, and moved off to be attacked in the flank by They then visited the twin cathedrals, the Monastery by the curator on the history of the town and shown a the British and Portuguese Armies.
