What Buyers want in Axarquia.

Remember when people used to buy “quaint” Spanish houses with “quirky” features and irregular shaped walls and low ceilings?
spanish property

We all fell in love and bought the “charm” of a property on a beautiful sunny day in Andalusia…
BUT ..
Those properties we bought back then will not be acceptable to our buyers now!

The main buyers within Axarquia are Scandinavians, Belgians and French…and THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
These buyers are looking for the right investment in the right location and built to high standard.
As a general guide today´s buyers like:

Spacious rooms filled with natural light.
Neutral colours throughout. No bright tiles.
Not too “rustic”
High ceilings/staircases.
Low maintenance property.
Modern fitted kitchens.
Modern neutral bathrooms.
No structural defects to the property.
Easy maintainable gardens.

So if you want to sell in today´s market, you may need to re-assess your property´s selling potential and make some essential modifications to attain that sale.

Lighten your colour scheme throughout. Colour can be introduced through accessories or one wall painted in a bold colour.
De clutter EVERYWHERE!
Open windows and blinds. LET THERE BE LIGHT!
If you have small rooms, look into possibility of knocking through.
Neutralise your bathrooms. No loud colours or “busy tiles”. Changing the tiles can transform a bathroom.
Update your kitchen. De-clutter work tops. Change old wooden doors and handles to modern doors. Change the tiles to a neutral tone.
Paint the exterior. Fill those cracks! Treat and varnish those wooden windows.
Gardens. Make them as low maintenance as possible. Terraces are excellent but shingle makes a good cheap alternative in the campo.
