What is the property market like at the moment in Andalucia and the Costa del Sol?
A. The property market in all of Spain, Europe and currently most of the world is very difficult, and times are tough. As professional estate agents we need to continue to offer our full services to vendors and purchasers alike, and to work on developing and improving these services for when normal times return. Properties are still selling, and we are very optimistic for the future, and expect 2009 to show continuing signs of the market recovering. Q. I’ve heard that lots of estate agents are closing down on the Costa del Sol. A. That’s true, and many names, large and small, have disappeared off the map. The object now is for surviving estate agents to consolidate, and to postpone expansion plans for the time being. We operate in and around Tolox, Alozaina and Guaro mostly, but also cover the areas of Yunquera, Casarabonela, Monda and Coin. We’ve got lots of other plans for the future, but little by little.
