During the Spanish property boom that took place during the earlier years of this decade, buyers became so caught up in the purchasing frenzy that the type of stock that they actually acquired really didn´t make too much of a difference to them. The most important thing in the (then) rising Spanish property market was to get a foot on the ladder, and with the glut of new-build 2 bedroom Spanish apartments that were built, most speculative investors ended up with this type of stock. If you analyse the proportion of 3 bed units that were actually built within any given development of apartments in places such as the Costa del Sol or the Costa Blanca , you will son realise that in most cases, only a small proportion of the development was allocated to 3 bed stock – normally the corner units and maybe some of the penthouses. So if we estimate that 3 bed apartments make up approximately 20% of the total number of apartments and penthouses within most developments in Spain , it is safe to assume that this ratio still applies in today´s rather more depressed and distressed Spanish property market. When we couple this with the fact that most buyers in today´s market are making the purchase with a longer-term vision and with the intention of using the properties themselves for family and friends, then a 3 bed property suddenly holds extra appeal. This is something that we have noticed in the last 6 months here at Your Key to Spain. Most enquiries via our website are from prospective purchasers looking for a 3 bed property in Spain . This presents the market with something of a problem. The glut of available stock is made up of 2 bed properties, while the majority of demand is focused on the harder-to-find, less frequently available 3 bed properties. Therefore while there are savage price wars developing between vendors of 2 bed Spanish properties in some developments, the well-located 3 bed units within the well-regarded projects are holding their own, and are actually sometimes in high demand. This doesn´t prevent eager buyers from expecting big discounts across all sectors of the Spanish property market, but prospective purchasers need to be realistic and take into account that smaller, micro-markets exist within the market as a whole, and these micro-markets are governed and manipulated in line with the same rules of supply and demand.

The Bank of Spain is expected to increase the provisions it demands of Spanish lenders to cover property bought from struggling real estate developers. The central bank’s move would further dent bank profits already hit by economic recession, according to financial sources and bank analysts. In November, the central bank raised its provisioning requirement from 10 per cent of the property’s value to 20 per cent for real estate held more than a year, and is now expected to raise it to 30 per cent. However, it has yet to notify lenders formally. “No decision has been taken yet,” the Bank of Spain said on Monday. The probable change reflects a growing awareness among regulators and investors that Spanish banks and cajas, the unlisted savings and loan institutions, have massaged their bad loan ratios by refinancing property developers in exchange for Spanish property and equity in the companies, instead of allowing them to collapse. Iberian Equities, the broker, estimated on Monday that listed Spanish banks had property assets of more than €12.6bn ($17.1bn) at the end of last year, while the cajas held €33bn. Santander and BBVA, the two biggest banks, have taken impairments of about 30 per cent. But the proposed increase in provisioning requirements would amount to €1bn, or a fifth, of 2010 profits for smaller banks, and €5.3bn-€5.9bn, or a fifth, of profits for the cajas, Iberian Equities said. A flurry of recent debt-for-assets and debt-for-equity swaps – involving developers including Colonial, Reyal Urbis and Metrovacesa – has deepened the scepticism of analysts and investors about the true bad loan positions of Spanish lenders. Total exposure to developers is €324bn. “While banks’ doubtful domestic loans have risen quickly over the last two years, the recognition of impaired assets has been far slower than the severity of the recession might otherwise suggest,” wrote Jamie Dannhauser of Lombard Street Research. There are particular suspicions about the way the collective bad loan ratio of the cajas has reached a plateau and started to decline, down to 5.05 per cent of assets in December. That is only slightly higher than the 5.02 per cent figure for the banks, whose accounts are generally more transparent. If the numbers were correct, that would be the “best news on the Spanish economy I’ve heard for a long time”, said Luis Garicano, professor of economics and strategy at the London School of Economics, in a blog on Spain. “Personally, I don’t believe it. The alternative is that the bad loan numbers of the cajas don’t make a lot of sense.” Prof Garicano said it would not be possible to re-establish the credibility of the financial system if the regulator permitted “these accounting games”. The Bank of Spain’s expected tightening of its provisioning requirements could go some way towards defusing such criticism. Story from FT.com

Jump in UK inflation is a ‘temporary deviation’. Greek prime minister likens his economy to the Titanic. Having set off from €1.15 the pound fluctuated between €1.14 and €1.1550 until the middle of the week. On Thursday it took a dive, which was extended on Friday. It opened in London this morning off its lows - but only just - at €1.1350. The week got off to a slow start with bank holidays in Switzerland, Canada and the United States. The lunar new year put China and much of the Far East on a go-slow for several days. Things started to become interesting for sterling on Tuesday with January’s consumer price index data. As most analysts had predicted - and the Bank of England had warned - CPI inflation jumped from 2.9% to 3.5%, appreciably above the Bank’s 1 target range. In the Governor’s compulsory open letter to the chancellor he called it a ‘temporary deviation’ and repeated his belief that ‘weakness in spending… will bear down on inflationary pressures over time.’ If that was the good news, the bad news on Thursday was that the Treasury had had to borrow £4.2 billion in January. The Treasury never has to borrow money in January; that’s when a big chunk of the annual tax revenue comes in. The Times summed up the situation as ‘On borrowed time: shock deficit threatens UK recovery.’ January’s retail sales figures, released on Friday morning, were no help to sterling either. The -1.8% monthly decline was a surprise to forecasters, as was the downward revision which showed sales falling in December as well. An interesting debate in the press showed how opinion is divided about what course of action the government should take to bring its budget deficit back into line. The Sunday Times printed a letter from 20 respected economists highlighting the dangers of Downing Street doing nothing. Friday’s Financial Times carried a response from 60 other, equally well-respected, economists saying that nothing is a very good thing to do until the economy gets back on its feet. Although disagreement among economists is nothing new, the exchange of views highlighted Downing Street’s dilemma. Finding itself in a state of anxiety fatigue after weeks of angst about the difficulties of the debt situation in Athens, the market came to the conclusion that Greece was not about to be lost with all hands. It did so despite new revelations that the previous government had arranged swap trades with about 15 investment banks to hide (it is alleged) the size of its deficit. Investors also managed to ignore some unfortunate sound-bites from Greek prime minister Papandreou. On one occasion he said that ‘we are trying to change the course of the Titanic; it cannot be done in a day’; an unfortunate simile. At the weekend he said he was not looking for a bailout because ‘our borrowing needs are covered until mid-March’, not exactly far away on the calendar. He elaborated by explaining that ‘we need the help so that we can borrow at the same rate as other countries, not at high rates which in fact undermine our possibility for making the changes and cutting down our deficit.’ In other words Greece is not asking for actual cash but it is looking for guarantees that will allow it to borrow in the market. Basically, Greece wants the use of France and Germany’s credit cards. After three months spent between €1.09 and €1.13 the pound is clinging to a slightly higher range, between €1.13 and €1.16, despite last week’s unhelpful news. Although its profile is now a little lower, the Greek albatross remains a burden, balancing investors’ slightly different worries about Britain’s political and financial situation.

Buyers in Spain could be able to secure 100% mortgages for the first time during the downturn thanks to a new developer-bank partnership. Customers buying from UK-based developer Almanzora Group will be able to apply for 100% loan-to-value finance through the Bank of Andalusia on properties with discounts of up to 55% off peak price. The developer has been selling around three properties per week since the start of the year and hopes the new mortgage offer will provide an extra boost to the Spanish property market. The large discounts make the properties more affordable and so the bank can feel more confident about buyers’ ability to repay the loan, said Almanzora’s sales and marketing manager Simon Coaker. “In some cases, the mortgage available is larger than the amount actually payable by the purchaser,” he said. “This is because, following last year’s price reductions, current prices of a number of properties are actually lower than the bank valuations.” Although the number of mortgages issued in Spain rose year-on-year for the first time in two years in November 2009, such high loan-to-value rates have become almost unheard of in Spain due to increased conservatism among lenders. However, banks are more likely to lend to customers buying repossessed properties or from developers backed by bank funding. “There are some 85% loan-to-value loans available for bank-owned properties but generally there is still little movement in the market,” said Clare Nessling, operations director for international mortgage broker Conti. Coaker told OPP that Almanzora was in partnership with the Bank of Andalusia to fund certain elements of its projects, but that the bank also wanted to take advantage of the sales opportunity. “The banks have seen us doing well and are interested in dealing with our clients,” he said. “Some of our own mortgages are with the Bank of Andalusia but they have competed against other banks for our customers’ business.” Addressing the long-term sustainability of such large price reductions, he said: “We wanted to create real interest in the property so have allied a mortgage product to selective discounts that will incentivise the market. But we think the 55% discounted stock will sell very quickly and we anticipate raising prices hopefully by mid-year.” Story from OPP (registration required)

I believe that the best way to go about searching for Spanish properties in the current market is as follows: 1.    research the areas so that you have a specific location in mind, eg Marbella 2.    browse the internet and speak to agents with properties advertised in your chosen area. 3.    ask the agents how they work – do they have their own stock of properties and do they have access to any more? 4.    ask them if they collaborate with other agents, and ask them if they work purely as ´property finders´ . With the sheer volume of properties in Spain for sale, many prospective buyers are turning to Property Finders for guidance. Here is why: Good property finders will have access to several thousand properties via their network of agents and the various multi-listing databases at their disposal. They will also have an intimate knowledge of your chosen location, and will be able to suggest plenty of options to help you. Property finders work by talking to you at length to ascertain your buying criteria, and they will then approach other agents via their network to get hold of the most suitable stock – imagine Phil and Kirsty on Location Location Location! This means that instead of only having a few hundred of the agent´s own properties to choose from, buyers can literally access the entire portfolio of available property in their chosen location. The other huge benefit is that buyers only need one point of contact to co-ordinate viewings, so rather than having to liasie with several different agents, you can work ´with´ the property finder very closely to fine-tune the search and secure the best property. Also, property finders have no allegiance to the vendors, so they are sure to try and secure the best possible deals for the buyer. Also, they are not tied by the handcuffs of representing both parties and so can give you their honest opinion of the Spanish properties that you are inspecting. And if you think this property finding service attracts an up-front cost, you are wrong. Property finders simply take a cut of the commission that the listing agent earns from the vendor.
