Beyond homes: discover Spanish ‘fincas’

IN Spain, it’s not only houses and apartment buildings that are up for sale - there’s an entire range of unique property types, each with its own Spanish terminology. One such property type is the ‘finca’ a concept unfamiliar to many newcomers. A finca is essentially a countryside estate or farmhouse, typically situated on a plot of land, often exuding rustic charm with stone walls, wooden beams, and clay tile roofs. These properties embody the essence of rural Spanish living and offer a distinctive, traditional character that many buyers find enchanting.

The word ‘finca’, originating from Arabic in the 1400s, translates to ‘estate’ or ‘farmhouse’, but usually takes on

greater fame when framed against the often fabulous views it can behold. From its humble origins amongst the Moors, the finca has come to represent a way of life steeped in historical and agricultural significance and even denoting luxury and elegance.The average plot size of a finca in Spain is around 6,000m2 - variable, depending on the region.

Many expats come to Spain to seek out that new Mediterranean lifestyle, often searching for the typical Spanish villa or apartment with a sea-view balcony. For those who prefer a quieter, rural life away from the hustle and bustle, a finca might be exactly what you’re looking for. These countryside retreats offer an idyllic blend of luxury and tranquility, perfect for embracing a laid-back lifestyle surrounded by sun, fresh air, and birdsong. Many Spanish weddings are held in fincas - the proof in the pudding of their wonderful backdrops, excellent photo potential and most importantly, sensational memories.

From rustic farmhouses surrounded by blooming vineyards to luxurious estates with ample gardens and private pools, Spain offers great variety. What they all have in common is that cemented within their walls is

deep Spanish tradition. Many are passed down over generations and behold decades of history. They have their own unique charm and cultural heritage. The traditional finca often flaunts quintessentially Spanish characteristics including whitewashed walls and terracotta roofs - often bordered by olive groves and vineyards or even orange and lemon trees. They serve as a permanent home, second home or quite easily, as a holiday rental - particularly in more touristic regions, where demand for rural fincas is exponentially growing.

Fact: purchasing a finca is an excellent investment. Its versatile qualities as a family home, rural retreat or holiday rental option open up many doors. Avoid been thrown by the term ‘rustic’ too. Many come complete with modern luxuries including tennis courts and swimming pools and their many outhouses and buildings including old storage barns can usually be converted easily.

Why the Costa Blanca

THE Costa Blanca South, particularly the Alicante Province, offers one of the healthiest climates globally, as recognised by the World Health Organisation. This is attributed to its mild weather yearround and low humidity levels, influenced by the drying effect of the salt lakes.

The climate has proven beneficial for individuals with conditions like arthritis, as the absence of cold and dampness alleviates symptoms, prompting many to relocate or invest in holiday homes in the area. The region boasts a subtropical Mediterranean climate, providing approximately 3,000 hours of sunshine annually and an average temperature exceeding 20°C.

Sea breezes cool the summer heat, while surrounding mountains shield from cold northern winds in winter, resulting in up to 325 sunny days each year. The Costa Blanca spans 200 kilometres of coastline in Alicante, earning it the moniker ‘The White Coast’.

Its stunning beaches, including Guardamar del Segura, La Mata, La Marina, and Orihuela Costa

Resorts, offer ample options for relaxation and recreation. Golf enthusiasts will find a diverse selection of courses in the Costa Blanca South catering to all skill levels.

From beginner-friendly courses to championship-level venues like Las Ramblas, Dehesa de Campoamor, Villamartin, La Finca, Las Colinas, and La Marquesa, there’s something for everyone.

The affordability of properties in the Costa Blanca South makes it an attractive option for buyers seeking holiday homes or permanent residences.

Buyers often find they can get more value for their money compared to other regions.

Let’s get cosy

A fireplace offers several benefits that go beyond just providing warmth

ONE of the most notable advantages is its ability to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere in a room. The soft flicker of flames and the crackling sound of burning wood can make a space feel more intimate and relaxing, enhancing the overall ambiance of a home. This can be especially comforting during colder months when people tend to spend more time indoors.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, a fireplace can be an efficient source of heat. It can help reduce energy costs by supplementing or even replacing central heating,

BUYING property in Spain can be an exciting step toward living the Mediterranean dream, but it’s essential to understand the full range of costs involved. Many first-time buyers, especially expats, may overlook certain unexpected costs, which can add up quickly and impact your overall budget.

Here’s a breakdown of the potential costs you may face and tips to help you manage them.

Banker’s draft fees

One surprising expense for many is the cost of raising a banker’s draft - a payment method banks use to secure property transactions by setting aside funds for the purchase. This service often incurs a fee of around 0.5 per cent, which could add thousands to your total cost. An easy way to bypass this fee is by using Currencies Direct’s PropertyPay service. It allows you to send money directly to the seller without additional charges.

Transfer fees

Expats may also face unexpected

especially in smaller spaces. The warmth generated by a fire can be distributed naturally throughout a room, creating a comfortable environment without relying on electric or gas-powered systems.

A fireplace also offers a degree of independence during power outages. In times when electricity is unavailable, a fireplace can provide not only warmth but also a reliable source of light, helping to maintain some normalcy in difficult circumstances.

Furthermore, many people find the act of maintaining a fireplace - whether it’s starting a fire or gathering around it with family and friends - to be a deeply satisfying experience. It promotes connection, relaxation, and mindfulness, offering a break from the digital world. In addition to its functional benefits, a fireplace can become a focal point in a home, adding value and charm to a living space.

Avoiding hidden costs when buying a property in Spain

banking fees when moving funds between countries. Banks in the UK and Spain typically charge for international transfers, with Spanish banks often adding extra fees for processing large transactions.

Currencies Direct doesn’t charge transfers fees and also provide access to a digital wallet that lets you manage funds without opening a Spanish bank account. Saving you money and simplifying the process of paying for your new home.

Notary fees and additional charges

In Spain, notaries are required to validate property transactions. However, many buyers are unaware of extra fees for document preparation, deed copies, and registrations, which can amount to 0.1 per cent - 0.5 per cent of the property’s value. Notaries may also add fees for translation services or complex legal issues.

To reduce costs, request a detailed fee breakdown from your notary and consider sourcing your own lawyer or translator if needed.

Valuation fees

If you’re financing your purchase with a mortgage, the bank will require a valuation to verify the property’s worth. These appraisals, which typically cost between €300 and €800, are generally the buyer’s responsibility. To help mitigate this cost, consider exploring banks that offer preferential rates on valuations as part of their mortgage services.

Exchange rates and currency fluctuations

Exchange rates can significantly affect the cost of your Spanish property. Even a small fluctuation in rates could cost thousands on a large transfer.

Currencies Direct offers competitive rates with no transfer fees, so you know exactly what to expect. Our services include options like forward contracts and rate alerts, which help you secure the best deal for your transfer.

Spain’s most colourful villages

SPAIN is a land bursting with colour, flavour, and lively energy. Across its diverse landscapes, you’ll find charming stone cottages and chimney-topped houses in the north, the picturesque whitewashed villages of Andalucia, and vibrant, multi-coloured homes lining the streets throughout the country. Wherever you go, Spain offers a feast for the senses.

Amongst all of the most enchanted and beautiful villages of Spain, there are unique secrets to be found. Yet as autumn is upon us and winter draws ever closer, perhaps the colourful villages could be more appealing on darker nights or cloudier days.

Villajoyosa, Alicante

Near Alicante, lovers of colour and vibrancy will appreciate the houses to be found situated in the picturesque village of Villajoyosa. It is in fact known for its iconic seafront with its frill of brightly coloured buildings. The original idea behind this came before technology, when the houses needed to be visible from out at sea; they have stood the test of time, maintaining the same tradition decades on.

The village prides itself on its rustic walls, marine walk, its beach and even boasts hanging houses, a remarkable housing phenomena also found in other Spanish areas like Cuenca. For all chocolate connoisseurs: visit the Chocolate Valor Museum, one of the most prominent and popular chocolate brands in Spain.

Cudillero, Asturias

Let’s start with the small municipality of Cudillero, declared both a historical and artistic landmark. Its cheerful-coloured houses are complemented by a lighthouse, several viewpoints out to sea and a sign with letters that demarcates the town’s pride and elegance. Asturias boasts stunning coastlines with crystalclear waters, rich rustic traditions at every turn, and mouthwatering local dishes that capture the heart of its culture.

Enchanted Forest, Parauta, Malaga

Situated in the Valle del Genal, not far from Ronda in the heights of Malaga, is a small village offering an unusual slant on coloured villages. Located within the Sierra de

las Nieves Natural Park national park, it is a site for nature lovers, chestnut lovers and well… lovers - with its own kissing bench! What makes Parauta unique, however, is not actually the village. Its glistening whitewashed houses are complemented by a colourful enchanted forest bringing the village alive for curious national and international tourists. Close to the blue village or ‘Smurf village’ of Juzcar, the magical, multi-coloured Enchanted Forest is a route of around 3km where you can find wooden, carved sculptures of fairies, tiny houses, dwarfs and other creatures. Perfect for the family and for cheering up a cloudy autumn day.

These are just four of the vibrant villages lighting up Spain’s peninsula. Exploring them - or others like them - promises an experience rich in charm, history, and tradition, all wrapped in a blanket of colour.

Spain’s property prices 2024-2025: Understanding the trend

PROPERTY prices in Spain are on the rise and are expected to continue increasing into 2025, driven by inflation and a growing demand for housing amidst a tightening supply. Yes, experts would say that housing prices in Spain are fluctuating rapidly, making it challenging to understand the market dynamics amid rising inflation and economic uncertainties. In this unpredictable environment, many are left wondering whether real estate prices will stabilise, rise, or fall in the coming year.

Clearly there are doubts and concerns as interest rates have increased and the prices on the housing market are fluctuating. Whether you are considering investing in a new property or considering the implications for the future of your own property, it is crucial to have an idea of what property experts are forecasting for 2024 -2025.

Economic factors as well as those concerning Spanish demographics mean that the Spanish real estate market is growing exponentially. BBVA Research group have stated that in 2024, Spain’s GDP grew by 2.5 per cent due to reduced interest rates and economic activity in the Eurozone. This has consequently increased housing demand. The current GDP is expected to increase by a further 2.1 per cent by 2025 and experts say that the post-pandemic recovery period and boom in consumerism

has been tantamount to these improvements.

A significant effect of these economic fluctuations are increased house prices, particularly in important cities as well as coastal areas - notably Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol. Malaga, for example, is currently in the top 10 places for most expensive property. In Costa Blanca, prices are said to have risen by 4.3 per cent in 2024 and in the Costa del Sol, the cost of buying a house has risen by 8.3 per cent in 2024, making it the area of the country with one of the fastest growth in cost. These trends are expected to continue into 2025 due to heightened demand for housing and to the fact that new construction projects are few and far between. According to property specialists, this is due to limited land being considered for housing development projects and a reduction in skilled labour to carry out construction. Whilst demand increases and supply weakens, prices will continue to grow, especially in areas where there is a population boom or change in demographics.

ket so that results will be more profitable. It is also crucial to be aware of environmental factors and how this can impact on saleability of properties in areas at risk of natural disaster including flooding or forest fires.

Advice for investors is to investigate areas with high demand and with few properties on the mar-

A PERGOLA can enhance your outdoor space by providing beauty, comfort, and functionality. One of the main benefits of a pergola is that it offers shade and protection from the sun while still allowing air to circulate freely, making it a great spot for relaxing or entertaining. Unlike fully enclosed structures, pergolas create a balance of sun-

light and shade, helping you enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

Pergolas can also serve as a visual focal point that enhances your garden or patio’s aesthetic appeal. With customisable designs, they add architectural interest and complement various landscaping styles.

Additionally, pergolas are perfect for suppor-

ting climbing plants such as vines, roses, or wisteria. This creates a lush, green canopy that increases shade, beauty, and natural privacy. They also help define outdoor living spaces, making them ideal for dining, lounging, or hosting gatherings. Overall, a pergola is a valuable investment that boosts your home’s functionality and charm.

AS the world faces increasing environmental challenges, sustainable homes are gaining popularity as a solution for reducing our carbon footprint and promoting energy efficiency. Sustainable homes, also known as eco-homes, are designed with materials and technologies that minimise environmental impact, offering an alternative to conventional, resource-intensive construction.

One key feature of sustainable homes is their use of energy-efficient designs. These homes are typically built to reduce the need for heating and cooling by using passive solar design, which maximises natural light and airflow. Well-insulated walls, windows, and roofs ensure that energy consumption remains low throughout the

year. Many sustainable homes also incorporate renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, further decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.

Another important aspect is the use of eco-friendly materials. Sustainable homes often feature recycled, locally sourced, or renewable materials such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, and non-toxic paints, which not only reduce waste but also contribute to healthier indoor environments. The aim is to limit the home’s overall ecological impact from construction to daily living.

Water conservation is also a priority in sustainable homes. Features like rainwater harvesting

systems, low-flow fixtures, and greywater recycling help reduce water consumption, a critical consideration in areas facing water scarcity.

Beyond environmental benefits, sustainable homes offer long-term financial savings. Reduced energy and water costs, combined with the durability of eco-friendly materials, make these homes an investment in both the planet’s future and personal savings.

As technology advances and environmental awareness grows, the demand for sustainable homes continues to rise, offering a promising path toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future for generations to come.

Simple steps to buying

LOOKING to buy property in Spain? The process can feel daunting, especially given Spain’s complex paperwork. To help, we’ve put together a simple, step-by-step guide to make your home-buying journey a little simpler.

The first step is to calculate your budget and then add 10 per cent to 13 per cent for the additional purchase costs including fees and taxes. If this money isn’t readily available, then consider a financing option. Spanish banks usually provide mortgages, lending from 60 per cent of the total cost.

For all financial or legal proceedings, you will need an NIE or TIE (tax ID number).

When you have found your dream property, you will need between €3,000 to €6,000, payable on a credit card or by

bank transfer to hold the property and remove it from the market. Then, contract a solicitor (notario/notaria in Spanish) who will check the property owner’s documentation. This auditing will check the local land register to rule out any overlying debts, or mortgages/loans taken out for the property.

A contract with the solicitor will outline payment terms. After paying a holding deposit, the rest of the 10 per cent deposit is due within a month. The final payment is due at the notary’s office on signing day, following a final audit to confirm no new loans or mortgages. All parties will sign the title deeds, and remaining costs - such as an 8 per cent transfer tax, land registry, and solicitor fees - must be paid within a month.
