Property now sold

La Linea San Felipe 3 bed 2 bath Close to Border

A great opportunity to buy a well located apartment with parking. This 3 bed 2 bath was once a 4 bed but the previous owners changed a bedroom into a dining room making it a much more comfortable property. The sitting room has an area with a bureau used as a study zone and it also benefits from Sevilla tiles in a bay window area and views straight across to Gibraltar and beyond.

Layout of the Apartment

The front door opens into a passage way with kitchen, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom and dining room to the right and third bedroom, shower room and sitting room straight ahead. Imagine a horse shoe shape and it is easier to visualise. All rooms are exterior with natural light except for the bathrooms. One of the 3 bedrooms is currently used as a store room, This room is a double, as is the one next to it, both of which share the full bathroom adjacent to them. The third bedroom could take a 110 cm bed but is best described as a single.

Location

It is literally a stone’s throw from the border with Gibraltar. As such, it is ideal for those of you who work there or have business there which necessitates frequent visits. It is in such a fine location that it may also interest you as an investment for your Rentals Portfolio. Naturally, being so near the airport it will always attract people looking to stay overnight or a few days, tops. AirBnB, Booking.com and Trip Adviser are still buoyant despite the pandemic. In truth, business sets its own pulse. Equally and for the same business pragmatism, it is attractive as a long term let option for your portfolio. Take a look at hotels in La Linea close to Gibraltar to see their popularity. This property is attractive to let either on a shared house basis or the whole apartment. In addition, the communal areas are well maintained. The town centre is ten minutes away, the bus station 5 minutes away, post office and banks are all close by.

Right to Parking Bay in Garage

This property has a parking bay in the basement area of the building. It is bay No. 41. All car owners who live here are not lucky enough to have dedicated parking. A lottery was held and owners allocated bays if their number was chosen. This is a private contract with the community of owners which is assigned on sale of the property. The cost is 45 EUR per month. This is such a great feature.

Costs

The Council Tax is around 450 EUR per year and community of owners fees are low. This is a singular opportunity. Contact us to view now. Oh and did we mention the owner bought it for much more?

San Roque Town Apartment 3 bed

Now Sold

San Roque 3 Bed Apartment

Great opportunity to buy this 3 bed bank repo in central location. It consists of a generous sized sitting room with natural light coming in. There are fitted wardrobes throughout 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.

Bank Repossession

There are real advantages to buying a bank repossession. One of them being the possibility of up to a 100% mortgage depending on personal circumstances. The borrower would need to put down 10% of the total loan amount and cover the taxes, land registry and notary fees for the conveyance. However, mortgage set up costs are much cheaper now following a recent change in the law. Just perhaps this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Location- close to park, banks and cafes.

The apartment is within walking distance of everything in San Roque – Your business needs are at hand (e.g. banks, town hall, notary and land registry). Social and cultural amenities are also close by. This is a traditional small town with the majority of the population being Spanish.

San Roque is situated within the Campo de Gibraltar, close to Gibraltar, La Linea and Algeciras. Beaches are no more than 20 minutes away and it is also within easy access of many golf courses.

This property could be a great way to get onto the property ladder or be a possible investment for the long term rentals market.

San Pablo de Buceite Large House

August 19, 2019

San Pablo Large Property to Reform

This is a big house with large bedrooms and kitchen. It has an outdoor bathroom which can easily be incorporated into the main part of the house by extending out. One of the most exciting parts of this property are the outhouses left untouched for decades. Also, the upstairs has had an asbestos roof slapped on to make it water tight – which it is – but this whole floor can be completely overhauled. It needs a bathroom and more clearly defined rooms up here, being largely a blank canvas. The property is on the market for 120,000€ and will need at least 45,000€ added for reform. Even so, you should end up with a handsome profit.

Potential for 2 Properties

It’s a substantial property with some two thirds undeveloped. The key word for this residential property, without doubt, is ‘potential’. There is a solid foundation in place and a habitable living area. But much work is needed to create what could be a hacienda type property. Spectacular views over the Serrania de Ronda, visible from the large terrace at the back of the house.

Ground Floor

You come into a large passage with stairwell and bedrooms left and right. Then there is a sitting room area which you walk through to get to the kitchen and pantry. There is an expansive feel to these rooms and it would require very little to make them comfortable and habitable whilst reforming the rest of the property and garden area.

Outdoor Area

This includes the bathroom and various buildings from old stable, to antiquated kitchen complete with fireplace, to chicken coop, to pigeon loft. It is quite a large space for an urban property in San Pablo and as it is all roofed it should technically be possible to apply for minor reform work whilst adding real value. There is independent access from the back to another road. A feasibility study should determine the viability of dividing this home into 2 properties or creating an inner courtyard with rooms coming off it designed for the Air BnB / booking.com short term rentals. There is also an outdoor stairway leading to the first floor and its extravagant terrace.

First floor

As mentioned, it has a large terrace which takes up about a third of the upstairs. If the inner courtyard theme is developed, this could extend and wrap around the generous border of the garden space. The indoors has partitioned rooms but little else and can be transformed with very little imagination into something quite charming. There is a Berber style kitchen with two circles for charcoal which can be adapted or reformed as you think best.
