Extended Offer April/May 2015
Off Plan and Re Sale purchase offer to clients* from Your Place in Spain
Cash back, quality accommodation paid for!! Read on….
The Brits return to the Spanish property market is now in full swing, with more & more information being released on a daily basis pointing to, and advising us, that the time to buy in Spain’s hot spots is NOW.
Spanish mortgage applications are on the increase, and in some locations property prices are on the rise.
We are advised by our colleagues on the ground in the Southern Costa Blanca that the re-sale property prices are certainly ‘hardening.’ The exchange rate continues to rise, and is currently sitting at a near 7 year high of circa 1.39euro to the £1.00. This rise means that vendors are demanding a higher selling price resulting in the purchase price entry level for a desirable property increasing. This also means that the choices available at that entry level are restricted, which for some will be very disappointing.
As a result of this ‘hardening of prices’ in the resale market, Your Place in Spain Ltd are suggesting that buyers should take a look at the off plan, new build market and see what these properties have to offer…
Why?
- These properties are brand new opportunities, using the latest materials, latest designs and technology, and all with with a 10 year builders warranty
- There is a great choice of fantastic locations, close to all amenities. Whether it is coastal, golf or property within a town that you are looking for, there really is something to suit most buyers’ requirements.
- Affordable new coastal properties – 2 bed 2 bath apartments are available from an entry level price of 99,000 euro / £76,250
- Bank Guarantees for required stage payments
- Usually completed within 12 months
To maximise the value of these off plan opportunities, Your Place in Spain Ltd are offering to those clients, that purchase an off plan property (for a limited period of time) a whopping 1000 euro contribution/cash paid back, after completion, as well as for those clients viewing only with Your Place in Spain Ltd & its partners, we will cover the cost of quality accommodation for 2 or 3 nights, subject to portfolio, meaning the purchase value is even greater! To take advantage of this offer or to establish more details then please contact us as soon as possible.
Should a resale property be your preferred option we (Your Place in Spain Ltd) will give a contribution/cash back amount of 500 euro, payable after completion on purchases of any amount greater than 89,000 euro plus costs.

It’s Tapas Tuesday time again, and this week we’re looking at another classic Spanish favourite, Patatas Bravas. This is a delicious tapas dish, it is very tasty and goes really well with other tapas too.
It’s also very simple and easy to make with easy to buy ingredients, so a good one to throw together quickly when you’re in a rush but fancy something a little different.
This particular tapas dish is extremely popular, and you’ll find this pretty much everywhere in Spain. Whether you are in Barcelona or Madrid, or sat in small beach side cafe, these gorgeous Spanish potatoes are always on the menu.
Fancy having a go at making some yourself? Here is a recipe that I use, I usually make this to serve around 4-6 people –
Ingredients –
4 large potatoes / 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil / 1 onion / 2 cloves garlic / 1 can of chopped tomatoes / 1 tablespoon tomato puree / 1 teaspoon sweet paprika (you can also use smoked paprika here too) / A pinch of Chilli Powder (you can add more or less here depending on how spicy you like your potatoes) / Salt and Pepper
What to do –
- Pop the oven on to 180 0C, and peel and chop your potatoes into small cubes. Pour over a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then pop those in to the oven in a roasting tin for around 40 minutes
- Whilst the potatoes are cooking, chop your onion into small chunks and crush the cloves of garlic
- In a pan, heat the olive oil, and add the onions and garlic until soft
- Pour in the can of chopped tomatoes, and add in the tomato puree, paprika and a pinch of chilli powder
- Taste the sauce as you go along, and don’t forget to season with salt and pepper
- Add a little extra chilli powder here if you want to make your potatoes that little bit spicier, or if you fancy them a little sweeter then you can add a pinch of Sugar here too
- Once your potatoes are looking crispy and ready, transfer into an oven proof dish and pour over the sauce. Pop the dish back in the over for 5-10 minutes until bubbling nicely
- Take the potatoes out of the oven once ready. Serve straight from the oven with cocktail sticks for easy eating
These go really well with meatballs, prawns in garlic, calamari and they make a great dish to serve with Paella too. Stay tuned for more recipes coming up on the next ‘Tapas Tuesday.’
I’d love to hear how you get on with yours – Tweet us @PlaceinSpain or tag us on Instagram @yourplaceinspain.
Enjoy,
