Spanish House Prices remain affordable for northern European buyers

Spanish house prices have risen significantly, yet they remain cheap when compared to property prices across most of Northern Europe. The

differences are more acute when compared to key Northern European cities, home to our target market. The most important macroeconomic factor

affecting our business will be the purchasing power of foreigners (in particular Northern Europeans) who intend to purchase a property along coastal

Spain.

Affordability

According to the OECD, Spain is 14% cheaper than the EU 15 average. Moreover, it is 17% cheaper than the UK and 13% cheaper than Germany,

countries that represent 40% of Spanish foreign visitors. The purchasing power of Spanish consumers is slowly converging with the EU average and,

at €15,000, it is still substantially below the average EU income per capita of €23,000.

Immigration trends

There are currently 1.45m registered foreigners in Spain (Ministerio del Interior). Coastal Mediterranean provinces have the largest number of

registered foreigners. Over the last eight years the number of registered foreigners in Spain grew at a CAGR of 52%, compared with 7.5% in the

previous decade (1985 – 1995). Forty percent of registered foreigners reside in coastal provinces, and represent approximately 5% of the local

population in these areas.

Approximately one third of registered foreigners are EU nationals. Many more EU citizens who live or have a second home in Spain choose not to

register. For example Deloitte & Touche estimates that more than 500,000 British nationals own a second home in Spain.

Coastal property is surprisingly still cheaper than national average

According to Hamptons International, around 2.5 million people live on the coast. This number is expected to rise to 10 million by 2011. Average

property prices along the southern costas have historically traded at a discount to the national average.

Convergence towards the national average has been most evident in Costa del Sol and Costa Almeria. In the period 1999-2002, Costa del Sol

property prices have risen 77% (CAGR 21%) according to the Ministerio de Fomento. This compares to a 54% (CAGR 15%) increase for the

national average. Other costas have risen in line with Spain’s average, with the exception of Costa Almeria, which rose 61% (CAGR 17%) since

1999. Costa de la Luz remains the cheapest costa.

Comparison of rental yield potential and principal appreciation

Our research indicates that the current rates of price appreciation in Costa del Sol are not sustainable. We believe that tourism will remain strong in

Costa del Sol, but other costas will have stronger price appreciation as they converge towards Costa del Sol prices over the next five years

Not only charming and beautiful, Costa de la Luz also has superb property investment opportunities

Where is Costa de la Luz

Costa de la Luz is the coastline of the two Spanish provinces of Huelva and Cadiz. It faces both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Map of Europe illustrating Costa de la Luz Region of Huelva

Region of Cadiz

12

Costa de la Luz – Portuguese border to Sotogrande

Land is still attractively priced and developers are focusing their attention on this region. The leading real estate agencies of Costa del Sol

are starting to open offices in the Costa de la Luz. The region’s international profile will likely be enhanced in the immediate future.

Costa de la Luz is the western part of Andalucia’s coastline and borders both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The Andalucia tourist site

describes these 417 km of coastline as ‘beautiful golden sands and small seaside towns devoted to national tourism.’ The coast has been

guarded from over development by local municipalities, conscious of protecting the local seafood industry.

Nicknamed the Spanish Algarve, the Costa de la Luz occupies the significant stretch of Atlantic coastline between Portugal and the Gibraltar

Straits. The historical majesty of Seville and Huelva are within striking distance of the coast. It is also famous for the port of Cadiz and the

sherry region of Jerez. The white sandy beaches are often secluded and the area has a traditional ambiance.

The region’s capitals, Huelva and Cadiz, are easily accessible from international airports in Faro, Seville, Jerez, and Gibraltar. Huelva is

within 45 minutes driving distance from Faro and Seville. Similarly, Cadiz is less than 30 minutes away from Jerez’s international airport and

between 1 and 1 ½ hours from Seville’s and Gibraltar’s international airports.

Summer temperatures are more pleasant than in other costas due to the Atlantic’s cooler breeze. The province of Cadiz has one of the most

benign weather systems in Spain. Temperatures range between 22 and 14 degrees throughout the year, 300 days of sunshine are normal, and

the average sea temperature is 17 degrees. An average year round temperature of 20 degrees gives the Costa de la Luz the perfect

microclimate for an active holiday.

The people of the Costa de la Luz are proud of their quiet life and intend to keep it that way. The surrounding area offers residents a huge

array of activities and is regarded as the cultural hotspot within Spain.

Local municipalities are keen to avoid the over development mistakes incurred by neighboring regions like the Costa del Sol. In consequence

municipalities have strict planning restrictions. New developments have strict restrictions on building volume (typically 6-12% build on a plot set

aside for urbanization) and must adhere to environmental regulations. Yet in the same breath, local municipalities are eager to work with reputable

developers that suggest sensible projects.

than Costa de la Luz equivalents.

Our like-for-like sample includes “2 bedroom - 2 bathroom” apartments on either frontline golf or frontline beach. Prices are analysed on a price per

m2 basis. Although properties are not homogenous products and their prices will vary depending on the interior qualities and surroundings, these

price comparisons provide useful insight into regional differences.

Province of Cadiz

Costa de la Luz was a well-kept secret - Spanish tourists have known of this coast’s appeal for a long time - but it has finally come to the attention

European tourists and homebuyers. Germans, who have historically been the trendsetters in European tourist destinations, have started to move here

permanently. English tourism to Cadiz has increased significantly in recent years, and British estate agents are just starting to offer product in this

area. With a new daily flight service offered by Ryanair, the region of Cadiz will fast become a favoured tourist destination for the British.

Activities on offer in Huelva Comments

The playas de Huelva (the beaches of Huelva) are

made up by 15 long stretching golden sand beaches

broken up by national parks and small fishing

villages devoted to national tourism.

The small family owned seaside restaurants offer

what is considered the best seafood cuisine in Spain.

The beaches being in a cove shape are well protected

by the Atlantic winds (Las Ventas), although the area

is popular for wind and kite surfing.

Further inland the Sierra de Huelva is the land of

Jamon, Manzanilla and magical undulating forested

mountains. Small white villages are dotted around

Airport infrastructure

Costa de la Luz is easily accessible through the four international airports that operate in the region: Faro, Gibraltar, Jerez and Seville

Cadiz

Ryanair announced on 2nd December 2003 that it is going to make Stansted-Jerez a daily service (previously it was only weekends). They expect to

fly 100,000 passengers to Jerez during 2004, a six fold increase in passenger traffic versus 2003. The number of passengers flying into Jerez airport

grew at a 58% CAGR between 1997 an 2001, totaling 159,700 arrivals in 2001. Germans accounted for 69% of all passengers flying into Jerez

airport – ‘Holiday destination trend setters’. August was the busiest month with 35,069 passenger arrivals. Flights from the EU accounted for 99.3%

of all international flights into Jerez airport during 2001. Charter flights accounted for the bulk of flights with Thomas Cook’s German charter flight,

Condor, flying just under 50,000 passengers. Ryanair has continued the Stansted-Jerez flight path following the acquisition of Buzz from KLM.

For travelers flying from the UK and visiting the region of Cadiz, Gibraltar airport is very convenient being at the southern tip of the region.

Currently over 140,000 UK travelers fly into Gibraltar annually

Huelva

The local government intends to build an international airport in the province of Huelva in a town called Gibraleón. The closest international airport

is in Faro, Portugal, a short driving distance away, which caters 4.7 million passengers annually. Seville’s airport, only forty five minutes away from

both Jerez and Huelva, offers relatively easy access to Costa de la Luz.
