Interest had been strongest in the Costa del Sol, particularly in and around Marbella, as well as the Balearic islands. The group sold one third of its newest development, just outside Marbella, offplan within a month of launching the scheme, a performance that it said was "significantly ahead of expectations".<br />Via <a href='http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/construction_and_property/article7093736.ece' rel='external'>timesonline.co.uk</a>]]></description>

Total property sales in the city have risen to their highest level in four years, research from the tax office shows.<br />Developer Taylor Wimpey de Espana has seen first quarter sales to foreign buyers at its Marbella project rise by 150% compared to the same period last year. And it's a similar picture in Mallorca, where sales have risen 200%.<br />"The British know Andalucia and Mallorca are premium locations and are taking advantage of interesting current prices," said sales and marketing director, Victor Sagué.<br />"In areas like Mallorca and Marbella the offer is quite limited already. Costa Blanca is absolutely different. There is a lot of oversupply and therefore developers are reducing prices to keep selling."<br />Via opp.org.uk  - <a href='/lang/en/pdf/spanishMarket_april.pdf' rel='external'>Full document (pdf, 26Kb)</a>]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Recently different reports have appeared in the press regarding the anticipated evolution of the Spanish real estate market in 2010. Unfortunately the previsions we receive from the various experts vary significantly from one another, ranging from those that anticipate an increase in some areas of Spain with less offer to the more defeatist who consider that the property prices in Spain still have to drop a further 20% but do not provide further details. I believe that the information available for this market is quite scarce and the data we received from the INE (National Statistic Institute) does not help to clarify the matters nor reflect the reality of the market. Some analysts assure that the crisis will last three years. They reach this conclusion by dividing one million stock units between 350.000 units&rsquo; sales per year. But I must ask: Are we speaking about the centre of Barcelona or about Sese&ntilde;a in Toledo where a project of 3.000 units in a town of 13.000 inhabitants has been paralysed? Or are we speaking about Tarragona that could have units to cover the demand of the next 9 years or of Baleares who could be left without any stock at all in eighteen months?What is really clear to me is that it is of no use to give national figures or reach conclusions about the market globally. One region is not comparable to another; even in many cases one town is not comparable with its neighbouring town.]]></description>

      		        <description><![CDATA[It is true that on a global level these are financially difficult times. However, although the crisis has hit the property sector, it remains an area that generates security and confidence in investors.In 2009 prices have fallen and investors are beginning to analyse the best places to make their movements.  <strong>The &quot;Financial Times&quot; has selected a list of 10 places </strong>, that are considered the best in terms of security and financial stability, infrastructure, accessibility, amenities and, above all, good growth projection.   <strong>Mallorca features on the list and is the island where Taylor Wimpey Espa&ntilde;a has its central offices and where it is currently developing various projects. </strong> <strong>Mallorca is in fifth place on the TOP 10 of ideal places to invest in 2009.</strong>. The period of recession has not affected the island, among other reasons because of the balance that exists between supply and demand, the lack of available land, strict controls on urban development and continued purchases by overseas and domestic clients. Moreover, improvements have been made to the road network, low cost airlines have increased the frequency of flights to the island, and all this makes Mallorca an extremely attractive option, without forgetting its spectacular landscapes, climate and environment. <strong>Taylor Wimpey Espa&ntilde;a has numerous residential complexes in the best spots on the island such as: </strong><br />Portals – Puerto Portals<br />
La Colina del Golf y Los Altos del Golf – Golf Andratx – Camp de Mar.<br />Pollentia Mar – Puerto Pollença<br />El Puerto 2 – Cala D&rsquo;Or<br />Es Port Verd – Costa de los Pinos<br />Edifici Alber y CanRoses III– Palma de Mallorca<br />Sa Torre – PortolLinks:<a href='http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/45d86a66-d089-11dd-ae00-000077b07658.html' rel='external'>http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/45d86a66-d089-11dd-ae00-000077b07658.html</a>]]></description>

      		        <description><![CDATA[The organisation  <strong>OPP, Overseas Property Professional</strong>, lead a panel discussion to debate the way in which greater guarantees can be provided to clients in order to restore confidence in Spain as the second homes market leader.Our <strong>Director de Marketing y Ventas</strong>, Victor Sagué, was invited to participate. He offered the viewpoint of <strong>Taylor Wimpey de Espa&ntilde;a</strong>, a company that has been  <strong>selling quality properties in this country for more than 50 years</strong>. Representatives from the Safe Buying Experience, and from the banking, insurance and legal sectors also attended in order to give a multidisciplinary vision of the issue.Spain has always been recognised as a mature market with regard to second homes, as a result of its excellent infrastructure, flexible mortgage system, the quality of its health system and the tourism that it offers, etc. However, this image has been affected in large part by media reports on negative aspects.Some conclusions from the meeting included: the need to  <strong>offer transparent services </strong> that reflect a clear exchange between buyer and seller; the importance of providing clients with as much information as possible so that they have a complete overview of the investment, not just of the complex itself, but also of the surroundings; <strong>establishing links with companies that guarantee the security of the investment</strong>, such as those that Taylor Wimpey de Espa&ntilde;a maintains with Safe Buying Experience, a company that has granted an accreditation award to all our residential complexes because they comply with the highest legal standards, both as regards construction and buying processes.]]></description>

                    In 1958 Taylor Wimpey was already a prestigious developer in the United Kingdom when Frank Taylor, the company&rsquo;s founder, spent his honeymoon in Mallorca. He and his wife, Christine, fell in love with the island and decided that Taylor Wimpey should also operate in Spain. With the support of Jaime Ballester they set up the subsidiary, Taylor Wimpey Espa&ntilde;a, and built their first properties in Canyamel, in the east of Mallorca. Over the years they extended their presence to other coastal areas; Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. Taylor Wimpey Espa&ntilde;a is currently present on the Costa de Azahar, Costa de la Luz, Costa Dorada, Ibiza and Menorca.Taylor Wimpey has become specialised over five decades in residential tourism, selecting privileged enclaves on the Mediterranean coastline to build charming housing complexes, characterised by their quality, careful design and respect for the environment.]]></description>
