New Terminal at Malaga Airport

As most of us here travel frequently, we are awaiting the opening of the new terminal atMalaga Airport with bated breath.  With 21 new food and drinks premises and 24 shops, it is set to be Spain’s best airport as far as food and shopping are concerned.

The expansion will mean that the current 10 million visitors a year could double to a whopping 20 million!  This is sure to have massive implications for tourism on the Costa del Sol and owners of holiday rental properties will certainly be rubbing their hands together!

At present Brits make up 40% of all passengers travelling to and from Malaga and so special attention has been paid to our expectations.  We will be able to shop ’til we drop at Adidas, Swarovski and Adolfo Dominguez, whilst enjoying a Starbucks coffee and perhaps a treat from Caviar House.

Safe as Houses

A significant number of retirees in the UK who have lost faith in the banking system are looking at other methods of making their golden years a bit brighter. Many are shifting there priorities from investing in shares, boosting their pensions and providing an inheritance for their families to making sure their retirement is more comfortable.

People are starting to realise that their investments and pensions aren’t going to pay off as they expected and to many, releasing equity in their home in order to purchase overseas property could be the ideal alternative. ‘They might not want to sell their domestic home but it is a big asset.’ said John Digman, head of equity release services at Newcastle Building Society.

Equity release has always been seen as the ideal vehicle for releasing finances in order to fund urgent property projects and due to the current financial climate, there has never been a better time to pick up an overseas property bargain in countries such as Spain, Portugal and the US, than now.

So if you have been dreaming of lazing your days away with a glass of vino on your sun terrace in Spain, golfing to you hearts content on the sunny Algarve or going for a spot of Marlin fishing off the Florida Keys, maybe the key to your front door is also the key to your dream home overseas.

Moving to the Costa de Sol – schools and hospitals

There are countless reasons so many people are still deciding to buy property on the Costa del Sol – the year-round sunshine, easy access to and from the UK, a plethora of activities such as water sports, skiing and golfing, and, of course, the superb schooling and medical care.

All along the Costa del Sol there is an abundance of top-class private schools, many of which employ English curriculums. It is comforting to know that expat children can gain the same education in Spain than they would in the UK.

Spanning the coast from Estepona to Marbella there are private schools which allow parents the chance to secure their children a place in some of the best education systems in Europe.

Offering GCSEs and A-levels, as well as the lesser known International Baccalaureate, international schools on the Costa del Sol have an extremely high success rate, and work with the Cambridge Board of Education – so you can rest assured that your children’s future will blossom.

Superior hospitals near your home in Spain

One of the most important aspects to factor in when relocating to the Costa del Sol is the health and safety of your family. The quality of health care and medical facilities on the Costa del Sol is first-rate, and doctors and nurses are very highly trained and experienced.

With the Spanish national insurance, it is possible to gain free medical care at any hospital, and it also provides a GP when you register in your area. Private health care is also available, and both are unsurpassed in their efficiency.

It is no wonder that, with such an excelled medical system in place, the Spanish people are extremely healthy, with the highest life expectancy in the EU.

Buy your dream Costa del Sol property
