Exclusive Designer Overseas Homes

Exclusive Designer Homes? We can help.

When buying a new home on a project or larger development overseas the choice of property designs available are normally restricted to a few standard options for which the opportunity to make alterations are limited.

From experience, many clients and customers now want the freedom to make unique the design of their new home and to take advantage of better, more modern and efficiently designed homes with individual features and a true designer edge.

SOME INSPIRATION

There has never been a better time to do this, plots are at an extremely affordable price, quality builders are in good numbers and designers are excited to work with the new technologies now available to them.

Every house design is important, as a small house plan can be just as exciting as a big one. This service is available from the smallest Bungalow to the largest Villa.

Working to your budget our local experts (all over the world) can help with everything from finding your plot, planning your home with you, garden landscaping and interior design through to assisting you with the appointment of appropriate builders and choice of materials and fittings.

These individual designs are great to live in and will sell very well in the future with great locations, interiors and specifications.

The only limit is your imagination – please get in touch for more information.

The service in brief:

Plot Locations – We have opportunitites from all over Spain and the Islands, Portugal (Algarve, Alentejo and Silver Coast), Turkey, Cyprus, Italy and the USA and many have spectacular sea and mountain views. Whatever your requirements we can find suitable plots for your dream home.

Design – After talking through your ideas with our local professionals they will help with introductions to architects and builders to create the plans for your home.

Adaptation – We have also seen the potential for adapted homes for people with disabilities and it is simple to design these adaptations from the blueprint stage and in the future this will aid the resale value and also the letting potential of any such product.

Construction – Once the building of your property has commenced your local project manager will provide regular updates and photographs of the project by email or post and ongoing project liaison.

Completion – Once the property is built we can assist with garden landscaping, interior design, furnishing and property maintenance services. Should you wish to let the property, our local professionals are specialists in marketing and renting out luxury villa’s in the local areas we operate in.

The Five stages of Spains property price recovery

The 5 Stages of Property Price Recovery in Spain, the Canary Islands, Mallorca and Menorca

So many people are trying to figure out exactly when Spanish property prices are going to reach the bottom, because that’s the moment when they want to buy. This article is our opinion and we could be proved right or wrong but as we are enjoying our best year since we started Girasol Homes and with Spain the number 1 market we are fairly confident things are on the upward trend with the properties we are seeing sell.

It is not an exact science as some properties will just be un saleable whether the market is good or not and everyone even remotely connected has an opinion. Regardless of which method you choose, at the end of the day it often just boils down to guesswork, instinct or experienced good timing. However, armed with an understanding of the 5 stages of house price recovery, you can remove most of the guesswork and make sure that when you come to buy, you are doing it at the best possible time.

Here is a simple graphic illustration of the 5 steps to property price recovery and remember we specialise in Property Bargains so we would expect to get you a brilliant buy whatever the market conditions and especially now.

1) The bargains are selling in some quantity, and although the bottom of the market has been reached, these last bargains force the statistical prices slightly lower as they are sold at prices even lower than market value.

2) The statistical bottom is reached. By now almost all the ‘bargains’ (properties being sold below market price) will have been sold.

3) Prices start to rise, however due to the lag in gathering and reporting statistics (and Spain is worse than most places at this), readers of the press will still be seeing reports showing that the market is still at position 1.

4) Prices in ‘real time’ are now solidly rising as tentative demand returns. Press reports now show that the market has reached stage 2, and this will also encourage buyers. The bargains have all but disappeared.

5) ‘Real time’ prices are now 6 months past the bottom. Buyers are now seeing stage 3 statistics and for the following months, price rises will accelerate. Although properties bought in this time will gain in value, clearly those who purchased at stage 1 and 2 will have had the greatest benefit.
