The benefits of buying off-plan

Posted by Funky Media on with 0 Comment

Whether you are looking for a villa, holiday home or place to retire to here in Spain, buying off-plan has many benefits. Here in Mallorca, we work with tried and trusted developers that know how to choose fabulous locations and top-notch fixtures and fittings.

Firstly, you’ll be buying a brand-new property that benefits from modern design and the latest in energy efficiency. Modern open plan Mediterranean style living is the norm and many properties here are built focusing on the outside space and vista. Open plan interiors are an intrinsic part of the Mediterranean lifestyle and many are built offering outstanding views.

When you buy off-plan you often get the opportunity to personalise aspects of your new property. Those could range from kitchen worktops, tiles and flooring through to adding a gym, chill out area or cinema room on the higher value villas.

Buying off-plan often means staged payments too, so you keep your money earning interest for longer. Quite often, buying off-plan means below market prices at this stage so you are getting real value for money.

What is there to think about when buying off-plan? Well, first and foremost create a list of your must haves then opt for the location that suits your lifestyle best and you can be assured of high quality design and in many cases, the additional benefit of excellent on-site facilities.

We have multilingual property specialists ready to help you through the purchasing process. You could be owning your brand-new home in Mallorca in no time at all.

Are you not interested in buying an off-plan property? Our services can be commissioned to build a new home to your specifications, or indeed to reform one you have already purchased.

Our island of Mallorca offers a sunny escape in the heart of the Mediterranean and over the years its popularity has not wavered. Whether you are a holidaymaker that loves the island or you are looking to buy here, there are properties catering for all budgets.

The island has some fabulous facilities with marinas attracting wealthy yacht owners and celebrities that love the relaxed pace and temperate climate. Most people have their favourite part of the island and buying property here is definitely a sound investment opportunity.

If 2020 is the year you realise your dreams and buy a property in Mallorca, then now is the perfect time to start looking. Start making a wish list of your wants and needs and also list things you are prepared to compromise on. It isn’t always budget effective to have a beach front or sea view property, that said there are superb properties to be had. What appeals to you the most: sun, sea and surf; pure nature; mountains and woods; village life; a cosmopolitan city or somewhere to sail from?

If you are in the market for a contemporary villa with superb facilities, then we have some exciting opportunities for you.

If you love the finer things in life then a chic apartment in Palma will suit you. With fine dining and shopping opportunities, this cosmopolitan city is high on the visitor list. The city offers many different kinds of area and property. The prestigious Old Town (Casc Antic) and Santa Catalina have arguably the most charming districts and architecture on offer. The area along the seafront, the Paseo Marítimo, is the natural home for the jet-set, with its luxury apartments, fast pace of life and proximity to the marina and Port.

Palma Nova is located in the municipality of Calvià and is a lovely seaside resort with a wide, shallow bay and three good beaches. The resort remains active all-year-round which makes it a popular choice for permanent residents.  You can drive to Palma in 10-15 minutes and there are excellent amenities available for food shopping and healthcare.

Just a 15-minute taxi ride west from the capital, Palma, Portals Nous revolves around a band of satin-soft white sand that’s edged by tapas bars and cocktail hangouts. Orbiting the resort are a series of tennis clubs and Bendinat Golf Course, which is classed as one of Spain’s finest. Not far from the town centre, you’ll find Puerto Portals Marina. Superyachts dock here and Ferraris parked at the kerbs in this glitzy marina.

These are just a few examples of areas to look at when searching for your new home in Mallorca. Contact of one our team today to talk about which area would suit your lifestyle choices.

Mallorca in the Autumn

Posted by cristina on with 0 Comment

We all know what a delightful island Mallorca is during the popular summer months, but what does the lovely offer during the quieter cooler months? For one thing Palma. The capital is the perfect place to explore on foot with leafy promenades flanked by clothing stores, cafes and charcuterie shops.

For a taste of history and culture the Museu Fundación Juan March, is a museum celebrating Spanish artists like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Juan Gris, and Salvador Dalí. The museum is free to visit, and housed in a grand 17th-century building worth seeing for its own beauty, not to mention the precious artwork it holds. Other Palma sightseeing highlights include stopping by its many churches, like the Santa María Cathedral and Sant Francesco Church.

You can enjoy some of the best restaurants in town without queuing for a table and head down to the Bay of Palma to enjoy the sights.

Of course, one of the nicest reasons to visit Palma in these cooler months are the designer shops. It is the perfect time to top up your Christmas gift list keeping cool whilst you do it.

Take a day trip to Deià, only 45-minutes away from Palma by car. It is a beautiful village that attracts stars of all magnitudes from its enchanting position surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains. Stars that have enjoyed relaxing breaks here include Beyonce, Harry Styles, Leonardo Di Caprio, Tom Hanks and Gwyneth Paltrow. There is an arty culture here but it’s not a place for tourism, really a hidden gem. There are some charming eateries and even if it’s chilly, walking the glistening coastline will bring on some amazing photo opportunities.

Of course, this time of year is ideal for getting out into the fresh air so you could be hiking in the mountains, cycle around some stunning villages or improve your swing on one of the golf courses.

Autumn heading into Winter is a great time to enjoy the delights of our lovely island. It is also the ideal time to look for property. Whether you are thinking of moving here permanently or buying a holiday home, our team at Lifestyle Properties are here to help.
