Price Reduced to 360,000€

Tarifa Old Town 3 bed 2 bath

A 2 bed 1 bath first and second floor apartment plus 1 bed 1 bath ground floor apartment with storage area for sale for ~~380,000€~~ 360,000€. These 2 terraced properties are next door to each other and can be connected by relocating the staircase to lead from the ground floor property to upstairs. There is also a roof top terrace of approximately 45m2 that can be converted into a wonderful garden and chill area.

Change of Use Possible

The ground floor property shares a wide communal interior patio with two other apartments where you can place a table to eat al fresco. You may prefer to keep both properties separate but the owners have asked that both be sold in the same lot. A further possibility is to change the use from residential to business for the ground floor property and cater to the vast array of tourists who visit the area all year round.

Light Reforms Recommended

The property will benefit from a few changes. Perhaps the large kitchen on the second floor could be converted into a further bedroom and a galley kitchen added to the first floor sitting room area. There is real potential to add extra value by redesigning one or two rooms and unifying the ground and upper apartments. This could double the equity.

Wonderful Location near Beach and Restaurants

These two properties are in the heart of Tarifa Old Town, close to the theatre, restaurants, tapas bars and the beach. The ferry terminal is also within walking distance. These homes are a great investment, either blended into one property or kept independent of each other, with 2 title deeds and 2 front doors. In addition, as an investment opportunity the ideal location makes the short-term-lets’ market a further possibility.

One Title Deed 2 Properties

8 bed property situated in the upper part of Jimena de la Frontera. The house is already divided into an upstairs with huge terrace space and a downstairs. Both with independent front door. The downstairs apartment also benefits from outside space including a small allotment / orchard. This garden could be used for a swimming pool or jacuzzi. In addition to these two residential zones, there is a further downstairs area which consists of 2 covered areas facing south east over the hills. This space alone is approximately 80 m2. Half of which is used as a garage with narrow access and the other building is used as a large store room. Much could be made of this unused space.

It is a really great area with wonderful views of the Los Alcornocales Natural Park.

Moncayo Bank Repo Algeciras

October 6, 2018

Bank Repo Sold

Sold Bank Owned 3 bed 2 bath town house with large roof garden for only 109,000€ As this is a bank repossession there is also the possibility of obtaining up to 100% mortgage. The property is located in Moncayo, Algeciras. This is a semi central area and popular because of its proximity to just about everything.

Partly Modernised Great Price

The property has been partly modernised and is almost ready to move into – after fitting out the kitchen, light switches and bath fittings. There are 3 floors, an American style kitchen which forms part of the sitting room and a large roof area which can easily be converted into a wonderful chill zone. The roof space measures 53 m2. The overall size of the property is 107 m2 and was built in 1970.

Light Reforms Needed

As this has already been renovated there are still a few finishing touches which could be done to customise this property to your personal tastes. With a few further light reforms this will be an even better property. Currently, the roof terrace is accessed via an external fire escape which could be easily adapted and incorporated.

Bank Repo Preferential Financial Terms

One of the advantages of buying a bank repossession is that you can often get a 100% mortgage. As with any financial product it depends on your own personal circumstances. You could, for example, pay about 460€ a month for this exact property over 30 years. The mortgage would never cover the taxes and notary fees so some savings will be necessary. Having said which, it’s one of the best ways to get on the property ladder.

Location: Moncayo, Algeciras, Cadiz

This semi central neighbourhood is very popular and this property is priced below average for this area. Once again, another good reason to view this now. Even taking into account the need to buy white goods etc for the kitchen this is still at a great price and is near to infant and senior schools as well as shops and restaurants.
