Spanish homeowners change how property is sold
With the recent launch of their ‘win a dream home in the sun’ website, Spanish property owners Andy and Beverly Rockliffe are adopting an increasingly popular model for residential property disposal in these beleaguered times – a prize competition. Tickets for entry are now available at winadreamhomeinthesun.com ( http://www.winadreamhomeinthesun.com ).
Says Andy: "Although the economy is showing some small signs of recovery, consumers and investors are still wary about making larger investments, particularly in property. Our competition gives everyone the chance to take possession of a large luxury home in the sun – without risking their savings, worrying about exchange rates or nervously watching the stock markets."
The winner of the well-appointed Andalucian property – based in Lauro Golf, Alhaurin de la Torre, Malaga – will have no mortgage and nothing else to pay. All legal fees and taxes will be taken care of as part of the prize. Two return UK air fares are also included so the winner can collect the keys.
The property is ideal as a family holiday home or for permanent relocation – which is particularly easy for EU nationals. For those with rental income generation in mind, plenty of visiting golfers and holiday makers are attracted to the area every year. The winner could even sell the house and walk off with the cash.
Getting there and back is easy, too: Malaga airport is just 20 minutes away with direct flights from the UK and Europe. UK flight time is approximately two and a half to three hours.
The spacious home backs on to a beautiful golf course, has mountain views, countryside walks and is just a short drive from shops and beaches. On site, there are two restaurants, two bars, tennis, bowling, two pools, petanque, a nearby equestrian centre – plus driving range and 27 holes of golf.
If tickets sales don’t reach the target, a cash prize will be awarded. This will be the entry funds collected less the cost of marketing, administration and legal fees.
