Whether you’re looking for a holiday home, or a permanent residence, you simply can’t beat the luxury and comfort of a spacious, well equipped villa. For this reason, it’s hardly surprising that, on Gran Canaria, villas are very highly sought after by those discerning property investors who are keen on owning some of the most prestigious property on the island. Please take a look at our Gran Canaria villas for sale to see a selection of prime examples.

Gran Canaria villas come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and styles, which means that unless you are already clear about what you are looking for, you could easily find yourself overwhelmed by the choice and variety available. The following tips will help you organize your thoughts and make your search much easier and more fruitful.

• You will probably already have at least some idea of how you will be using your Gran Canaria villa. Always keep this in mind as you consider your purchase. It stands to reason that a villa that is excellent as a holiday home or rental accommodation may not be so ideal or practical if you intend to live permanently or semi-permanently on Gran Canaria.
   

• Choosing the location of your villa is surely the most important decision of all. Are you looking for a villa on the coast, with easy access to beaches, shops and other amenities? Or is the tranquility of the countryside what you are really after? (It is actually possible to find property that offers a good combination of both!) If you intend to rent out your villa, be sure to seek advice from reputable holiday rentals experts to see which areas of Gran Canaria are most highly demanded.
   

• Think of the characteristics that you would like your villa to have - number of bedrooms, pool, garden, play area for children and so on. Divide your list into what is essential, and what is not, so that you can easily identify eligible properties from among the rest.
   

• As you evaluate specific villas for sale, you should also consider the possibility of adding any missing features that you desire after you have purchased the property. By being open to this, you could easily end up turning a bargain purchase into your dream Gran Canaria villa!
   

• Think about whether you have any preference for a particular type or style of villa. It is a good idea not to be too rigid on this point – at least at first. After all it is not the first time that people looking for a modern property fall in love with the style of the typical Gran Canaria villas, with their black lava stones showing through the whitewash.
   

• One final, but very important, thing to consider is what the costs of owning and maintaining your property will be. This is particularly essential if you plan on renting out your villa, in which case you will have to carefully weigh running costs against a reliable estimate of the rental income you can expect, to see if your business is viable or not.

At EstateCanaria, we are at your complete disposal and offer you our expert advice on choosing and getting the best out of your villa. We also invite you to view our Gran Canaria villas for sale to see for yourself some of the best and most prestigious properties on the island.

Investing in Gran Canaria Real Estate

It takes much more than sun and sea to create excellent investment opportunities, and the enduring popularity of Gran Canaria real estate with property investors shows that the island really has what it takes.

Nonetheless, even in such a strong market such as this one, much of your success will depend on sound investment strategy based on expert advice – something that our staff at EstateCanaria are in an excellent position to provide.

Although Gran Canaria real estate prices keep rising steadily, not all property appreciates at the same rate. If you’re in it for the money, you should carefully consider what kind of property and what locations are expected to show the greatest price gains in the future – a task where intuition alone is not enough. For instance, a ‘lower tier’ property could easily experience a proportionally greater increase in value than a more luxurious one, given the right conditions.

As you deal with EstateCanaria , you will find that, with our advice as specialists in the Gran Canaria real estate market, you will feel confident that you are making the best investment decisions.

Buying off plan can be an excellent way to boost the returns on your Gran Canaria real estate investment. The significant price savings you enjoy when you buy property before it has been built generally translate into healthy earnings if you sell once the project is completed (or even just before). In fact, many real estate investors buy off plan, with the intention of turning a tidy profit without ever setting foot inside their property!

If you are investing in Gran Canaria real estate, you could consider renting out your property either as a long let, or on a holiday rentals basis. At EstateCanaria , we can advise you on choosing your rental property according to the demands of the local letting market. This will help you maximise your rental income and possibly even make your property to pay for itself.

Once you have bought your property, we can even take care of every aspect of letting it out for you – so that you just have to sit back and watch the money rolling in!

Many foreigners who buy Gran Canaria real estate want to enjoy it immediately and avoid the trouble of having to do up their property. This has created a very lucrative niche for investors who buy, renovate and resell property, obtaining a higher return on investment in a much shorter time. The trick is to find property that has great potential, but that is selling cheap because it needs refurbishing and currently lacks appeal.

Besides helping you source suitable property for such a venture, at EstateCanaria we can also put you in contact with professional builders, plumbers, electricians and everything you need to get your property looking great – and costing much, much more. Contact us for more information
 

Buying Off Plan in Gran Canaria

Looking for off-plan property in Gran Canaria?

Take a look at our select off-plan developments. At EstateCanaria, we bring you a choice of excellent opportunities to acquire property at very competitive rates, direct from the developer.

If you’re looking to save a considerable sum on the purchase of your property – and who’s not? – then buying off plan in Gran Canaria is an option that you should seriously be considering.

When developers embark on a new project, they generally seek to sell a certain number of units as quickly as possible, before the project is finished (and in many cases, before it has even started). Off-plan properties are usually priced well below the market value in order to encourage sales, so that the developers can reduce their capital outlay and also minimize their risk.

Buying off plan in Gran Canaria – just like anywhere else – means that you will have to wait up to two years or maybe more until your property is completed. However, if you’re not in a particular hurry, the cheaper purchase price should more than compensate you for the wait until you can start to enjoy your property or rent it out.

Like the name suggests, when you are buying off plan in Gran Canaria, you will have to rely on plans, drawings and other specifications in order to evaluate and choose your property, although many developers will have a pilot unit that you can visit to get a better idea of the look and quality of the finished work. One of the biggest advantages of buying off plan is that you get to choose your property at an early stage, before the best units are sold out. Penthouses, corner apartments, and properties that enjoy better views or have larger gardens are among the ones to sell first.

When you are buying off plan in Gran Canaria, you will usually have to pay for your property by installments at pre-determined dates, or as specific steps of the project are completed. This means that if you are using a loan to finance your purchase, you can save on interest since you will not have to borrow the full amount from the start, but can increase your loan gradually as payments fall due.
