New Site

It has been an extremely busy weekend with an open day by Devanio, photos this morning and uploading properties to the new look VP site. It can be seen here for the latest properties, it is in development phase at the moment so bear with us but the newest properties can be seen there for now so have a look and give us some feedback on graham@valencia-property.com

The new site is taking time to upload but it will eventually get onto www.valencia-property.com and www.valencia-property.es for the site in Spanish. The new database is working well but it will take some time for me to get totally used to it. At the moment the featured properties are on the top row on the home page and the latest properties will appear at the start of the second row.

What are the differences? Well, we now have different price bands which make a lot more sense in today's market, we have a section for off plan which will no longer say coming soon, we have an international and other areas section, the FAQ's have been updated and eventually all other pages will change to reflect the latest realities.

This week is extremely busy with lots of clients visiting and houses to take them to. So if you send a mail and I take time to get back to you, have patience please.

Back on the Market at 135,000 Euros

If a sale falls through after a few months it is a pain for the seller as they have to start the marketing process again. Therefore it is useful to know that things are available again as we can start moving them faster. This sale has fallen through so it has come back onto the market this week. The buyer pulled out as he was worried about his dog not being enclosed. This 5 bedroomed house has scope for improvement but is in excellent condition with a modernisation done in a sleepy village near to Casinos. Look at the pics and buy an absolute bargain as you will not find anything of this quality this cheap for a long time here in Valencia. Water and Electric are from mains. It previously has had a telephone so no problem with getting one. It is set on two floors but you can develop a roof terrace too and it has use of some land opposite although it is not part of the deeds.

An absolutely exquisite house for the price just 35 mins from Valencia and possibly half an hour when the extended motorway links up to Casinos.

A Very Busy Day

I spent most of today with journalists or answering journalists' questions about Valencia and also Castellón. Hopefully you will see our name as a result in the Sunday Times and Overseas Property magazine in the not too distant future. I spent a very pleasant couple of hours this afternoon at a house we have for sale in Lliria, waiting around while clients looked at it and reading a book overlooking the pool in the shade of the terrace on a steaming hot day.

It is now after midnight and I really need to get to bed.

Tomorrow is looking really full too and I will probably send out a contact mail announcing our next open days over the weekend as we will be having them on the 19th of April in Lliria, the 26th in Villamarchante and 2nd June in Lliria too. All excellent houses and good possibilities hosted by our sister company Devanio.

The picture shown is of the pool area and guesthouse of a place we have the open day on the 19th of May. See more here although the price is now 235000 Euros.

Scare Stories in the Press

The Sunday Times and Sky News spent the weekend making people terrified of buying in Spain as the whole house of cards is going to fall. Look at it from another point of view, it's a great time to be a buyer if you are coming out here to live as you have a large choice and some owners who want to trade up, down or move on altogether are dropping prices.

This week we have had four owners phone us up with price drops making their properties, which we already thought excellent value as we don't take on overpriced properties, now even more worthwhile.

Check out the photos of the house in Olocau at 295,000 Euros here and also look at the video and photos of the house here at 235,000 in Lliria.
