Date: 17.05.2017

Buying real estate is a very important step in a person’s life. After all, whatever you say, housing should be, first of all, to your liking. The main thing when buying real estate is not to make a mistake in your choice. And in order to choose exactly what you need, it is worth considering all types of property and comparing them with your requests in terms of comfort. It is also worth paying attention to the purpose of the purchase (permanent or temporary, seasonal residence; purchase for your own family or for rent; purchase of real estate for one tenant, a married couple or a large family). And there are many such selection parameters. In order for everyone to be able to determine the type of real estate that they want to buy in Spain, our company DENIZ ESTATE has prepared an overview of all types of real estate that are declared in this country. It is up to you to just choose the right option!

Villa – an elite type of real estate

A country house, which usually has a garden, a swimming pool, a picnic area, a children's area is called a villa. In Spain, this type of real estate is very popular. But there are not only country houses, but also in the city center. Of course, this increases the price several times. Villas are bought by people who love privacy, being away from noise and close to nature. It is considered an elite type of housing. This type of real estate is often purchased by families with children, animals, since the area around the house is where, as they say, there is room to roam. Also, as practice shows, people who want to live in Spain permanently, and not seasonally, settle here. If you decide to buy a villa for trips there only during the holiday season, then this is not a very good option, because such a house and the area around it constantly need care. Of course, if you can hire a housekeeper, then, of course, you can easily buy a villa for recreation at any time of the year. It is also worth considering the fact that a villa is a country house. This means that you will have to get to the city by car. So we recommend buying villas for those who have a car, because it will be much easier and more comfortable to get to the store, to the beach, and to certain establishments.

Bungalow – a piece of your own paradise on the seashore

A very common type of real estate in Spain is a bungalow. This is the name for a light low-rise building on the seashore. A spacious terrace where you can sunbathe all day, or a beautiful garden where you can read a book or drink tea – all this can be done by the owners of a bungalow. This type of real estate is in great demand. People who come to Spain for a seaside holiday prefer to rent a bungalow rather than an apartment. This is due to the fact that the sea views from a bungalow are much better than from apartments in residential complexes, and the rental price is almost the same. Thus, people who want to buy a type of Spanish real estate such as a bungalow will definitely not go wrong, because renting out a house will not only pay off the entire purchase price over time, but will also give you a profit. If you want to buy non-residential property in Spain specifically for renting it out during the holiday season, then a bungalow is the best option!
Chalet – a comfortable house in the village

A chalet is a two-story house, which is often built of wood. Modern architects build chalets not only from wood, but also from brick. It is also possible to build the first floor from brick and the second from wood. Historically, chalets were rural houses. In the modern world, you can find chalets in urban areas. This type of real estate has several bedrooms, a large hall, a couple of bathrooms, a kitchen, a pantry and some other types of rooms. For tourists, a chalet is an excellent type of real estate in Spain. Vacationers who come to this country for a few days or weeks are happy to rent a chalet, because it has a comfortable and homely atmosphere, which gives the holiday a wonderful character.

Apartments are the most popular type of property in Spain

The core of the Spanish real estate market today is apartments. They are purchased by the largest number of buyers. Apartments in Spain are suitable for permanent residence, temporary residence, and rental. Developers of residential complexes offer apartments for every taste and price category. Everyone can find a suitable option. This is an urban real estate option, since this is where large residential complexes are built, while in rural areas you will more often find villas, bungalows, and chalets, which we wrote about in previous sections. Apartments are perfect for people who want to buy real estate in Spain only for seasonal residence. They do not require special care, like, for example, a villa with a garden and a pool. You can easily come with your family, live in your apartment during the holiday season, and go back home, to your permanent place of residence. They can also be rented out during the period when you are in your home country.

Less popular types of property in Spain

We have listed and told you about the most popular types of real estate in Spain. But there are also less popular ones, but they also have their buyer. For example, it is worth remembering townhouses, which are semi-detached real estate. This is the so-called economy version of a villa. Townhouses are two-story buildings in which, in addition to you, other owners of their square meters will also live. Near the townhouses there is often a garden and a swimming pool, but once again we note that it will belong to everyone who bought housing here. It is also worth telling about such a type of real estate as rural houses, they are also called farmhouses. They are an excellent purchase option for those who want to live away from the noise and enjoy the countryside, maybe even acquire a farm or grow fruits, vegetables, flowers, and so on. Also pay attention to such a type of real estate as a duplex. These are two-story apartments that are located in apartment buildings. Atico is also an interesting type of Spanish real estate. It is located on the top floor of residential complexes, has a large living space, a terrace, a swimming pool and offers a beautiful panorama of the sea or just beautiful views of the city. We have described to you the very best types of real estate in Spain. Now the choice is yours!
