Buying Property in Granada

Where to buy property in Granada

Situated in southern Andalucia, Granada was really opened up to British property buyers by the recent introduction of low-cost direct flights from London and Liverpool. It retains an authentic Spanish feel, though it benefits from being central to some diverse property development, in golfing and skiing in particular.

The climate here means that it is somewhere to holiday at any time in the calendar and investors should note that there is genuine potential for year-round rental income – not just from holidaymakers but from a resident student population, too. There’s a new medical campus in the south of the city which gives a ready-made rental market for an investor in the area.

With a reputation as one of Spain’s most beautiful cities and as a cultural and culinary hotspot, the city has appeal to a discerning visitor looking for authentic Andalucia. Property buyers in the city centre will find a knowledge of Spanish helpful as the property market there is not geared towards the overseas property investor.

There are some great property bargains further out from the centre, and for those with an eye for renovation projects an old townhouse in need of some TLC could be a very inexpensive way into the local property market. The Sierra Nevada mountains have a ski season from November to April but continue to draw visitors during the summer months, through hiking, cycling and birdwatching.
