6. BARCELONA
MARESME COAST
Barcelona continues to be one of Europe’s most exciting and innovative
cities. Since the Olympics in ‘92, the city has welcomed a growing
international community, attracted to its excellent beaches, quality of
life, good year-round climate, excellent transport infrastructure and
relatively low property prices compared to many northern European
cities. Given the obvious attractions of living in the city, Barcelona
property remains a viable long-term investment, either as a second
home, rental or permanent residence. Prices are currently at their lowest
for 5 years, on average 30% less than in 2007 and the increased number
of sales transactions in the market seems to suggest that residential
property sales prices are bottoming out. Lucas Fox has its head office in
the centre of Barcelona and its first ‘Property Lounge’ opened there in
June 2013.
The Maresme coast lies just to the north of Barcelona and south of the
Costa Brava and has about 50km of long, sandy beaches. The Serralada
Litoral Natural Park provides a stunning backdrop to this attractive
wine growing area. Its pretty villages, easy commute to Barcelona
and proximity to two airports has made it a popular destination for
international families relocating to Barcelona. The Lucas Fox Maresme
property portfolio specializes in luxury designer villas and 19th and
20th Century period properties in towns and villages such as Alella,
Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Cabrera de Mar, Premià de Dalt and Caldes
d’Estrac. The area is also home to two of Catalunya’s most prestigious
luxury developments: Can Teixidó and Supermaresme. This year saw
Lucas Fox open a ‘Property Lounge’ in Alella, which is expected to
further boost sales in the region.
PARTNER & co-founder of Lucas Fox Barcelona
Alexander Vaughan comments:
Director of Lucas Fox Maresme, Rafael Rosendo comments:
“To date, 2013 has been a very exciting year for Lucas Fox
and it already looks set to be our best year since the company
started. Very attractive prices for prime property in the city
and surroundings and the impact of the Spanish residency
law change, which will grant residence to international buyers who invest
more than €500,000 in property, are generating a lot of interest from EU and
non-EU buyers alike. The Lucas Fox Property Lounge has given us the first
opportunity to express our brand values in a retail space and offer an even
more personalised service to our clients.”

www.lucasfox.com
“Traditionally, locals have chosen to live in the Maresme
coast and work in Barcelona because of the easy commute.
Now with prices down 25-35% from 2007 foreigners are
also moving into the area, attracted by its peaceful setting,
beaches, and access to both Barcelona city centre and the Costa Brava.
Girona and Barcelona airports are both easily accessible and its local and
international schools are highly regarded. Add to that its marinas, its natural
parks and its renowned gastronomy, and it is easy to see why the area is
becoming increasingly desirable amongst international buyers.”

7. COSTA BRAVA
MALLORCA
Lucas Fox Costa Brava covers the most desirable areas of coastline
between Blanes and Begur, with a primary focus on Begur and the
surrounding bays and beaches, including Sa Riera, Sa Tuna, Aiguablava,
Tamariu, Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell. Lucas Fox also covers the
inland areas around Girona city, specifically the counties (Comarcas) of
Baix Empordà, Alt Empordà, Pla de L’Estany and El Gironés. Its property
portfolio includes luxury detached sea view properties as well as
country estates, golf properties and traditional stone townhouses, ruins
and building plots. The Costa Brava now boasts the No.1 restaurant
in the world (El Celler de Can Roca), the No.1 golf course in Spain
(Stadium Course, PGA de Catalunya) and, earlier this year, the new AVE
High Speed Rail Link was opened between Girona and Barcelona, further
improving the region’s accessibility from Barcelona and Northern Europe.
Lucas Fox Mallorca was founded in 2012 and has quickly established
itself as one of the leading luxury Real Estate agencies on the island. It
covers all areas with a specific focus on Palma Old Town, Arta, Santany,
Alaro, Andratx, Deia, Valldemossa and Pollensa, avoiding the most
heavily-visited tourist locations. Its property portfolio includes villas,
luxury apartments, seaside country houses, rural estates, equestrian
properties and vineyards. Many of the properties are located near
some of the island’s best golf courses, marinas and yacht clubs. Classic
renovated apartments are mainly situated in the Old Town of Palma de
Mallorca, which has been revitalized as a district for luxury living with
boutique shops, magnificent views and prize-winning restaurants.
Partner of Lucas Fox COSTA BRAVA TOM MAIDMENT comments:
“In 2012 Lucas Fox Costa Brava enjoyed its best year of trading
since the company’s inception. The company’s average
sale in the Costa Brava was over two million Euros and the
typical properties sold were singular properties in unique and
exclusive coastal locations. Demand for real estate in the Begur area came
predominantly from Northern European clients, whilst non-EU buyers were
more active in the southern areas of the coastline. Most high end buyers
were making lifestyle purchases with a long-term view on the market and we
expect this trend to continue in 2013. Results in the first 6 months suggest that
this will be the case.”
www.lucasfox.com
There are plans to open a Lucas Fox Property Lounge in Palma in
Autumn 2013.
partner of Lucas Fox MALLORCA RAFAEL CALParSOro comments:
“Property prices in Mallorca are well above the average
property prices in the rest of Spain. In spite of this, Lucas Fox
Mallorca was able to close some major transactions in 2012.
Buyers are mostly from central Europe and Scandinavia,
purchasing large apartments in Palma´s Old Town, country estates (Fincas)
in the inland areas of the island and seafront properties in exclusive coastal
areas. Mallorca remains a very attractive year-round destination and is well
connected by plane with most major European cities. We are currently
experiencing an increase in demand, with enquiries and property viewings
so far in 2013 three times higher than in the opening 6 months of 2012.”

8. IBIZA
Lucas Fox Ibiza covers all areas of the island, but the South West and
San José has continually proven to be the most popular area for foreign
buyers attracted by its pristine beaches such as Cala Jondal, Cala
Vedella and Cala Comte, excellent restaurants and proximity to the
airport. Increasingly, families are attracted to the Northern coast and its
quaint villages such as Puerto San Miguel and Portinatx.
Many believe that Ibiza had its recovery year in 2012, a clear sign being
the increase in off-plan purchases, proving the island’s reputation as a
safe haven for real estate investment. Increasingly, non-European buyers
(in particular American, Chinese and Asian buyers) are being attracted
by the Ibiza lifestyle.
The Lucas Fox Ibiza property portfolio includes new-build designer
villas with sea views, sea front mansions, classic Ibicenco-style country
houses (Fincas) set in their own land and modern penthouse apartments
overlooking marinas and the sea.
MARBELLA
Lucas Fox Marbella was established in 2013 with a primary focus on
the exclusive areas such as La Zagaleta, Golden Mile, Sierra Blanca,
Marbella, Nuevo Andalucia, Los Flamingos and Puerto Banus. The Lucas
Fox property portfolio includes contemporary designer villas and luxury
apartments priced up to 20 million euros. In common with the rest of
Spain, property prices in Marbella have reduced significantly over the
last 4 years. However, there are signs that over the last 6 months prices
have started to stabilise. Properties in the region are still perceived as
good value for money and prices are expected to stay stable at the top
end of the market. Interest in the luxury end of the market from Asia has
been particularly lively following the recent decision to grant automatic
residency to non-EU nationals purchasing property in Spain over the
value of 500,000 Euros. British interest in purchasing property in the
South of Spain has dwindled in recent years and has been replaced by
interest from Scandinavia, Asia, the Middle East and Russia.
partner of Lucas Fox MARBELLA STEPHEN LAHIRI comments:
partner of Lucas Fox IBIZA MAXIM RETTICH comments:
“The property market in Ibiza is looking good for 2013. Although
prices dropped slightly last year and during the first quarter of
this year, there are signs that they have now stabilized and the
number of transactions is on the increase. Good summer rental
rates are also attracting buyers who wish to make a return on their investment.
The Asian/Chinese market is discovering Ibiza and with the new residency
law almost in place, the market is open for them. Ibiza continues to be a safe
investment and I am convinced that this will continue for the long-term.”
12
www.lucasfox.com
“There seems to be increased interest from international
clients and we expect this to strengthen in the coming months.
We consider that the combination of lower property prices,
consistent rental rates, and the overall quality of life in the region
will inevitably help to reactivate the Marbella market. All the signs suggest that
the market is starting to bottom out and we predict that we will see an increase
in the volume of property sales on last year, particularly at the top end of the market.”

9. COUNTRY &
SPORTING ESTATES
The Country & Sporting Estates division of Lucas Fox was set up as
a result of the increasing demand from international clients for large
country properties with equestrian and sporting facilities. The portfolio
includes country houses with existing stabling and land, polo estates,
wine-growing estates, boutique hotels, equestrian centres, stud
properties for breeding horses, private or commercial hunting estates,
castles & palaces and working farms. The bulk of these country estates
are situated in Andalucia, an area renowned for its agriculture, olive oil,
hunting and horse breeding. The regions of Penedès (Catalunya), La
Mancha and Ribero de Duero in central Spain are proving increasingly
popular with investors looking to produce their own wines.
director of country, equestrian & wine estates
CHARLOTTE RODRIGUEZ comments:
“Due to the recent economic crisis in Spain there has been
increasing interest in the purchase of ‘productive land’,
especially estates with vineyards and olives groves. Investors
are seeing these types of estates as giving more value for
money than properties without land. More buyers have also been drawn
to the attractive lifestyle that this offers and the ability to be self-sustaining.
Aside from the lifestyle benefits of owning a country estate there is also a
strong investment potential.”
www.lucasfox.com
RESIDENCY
IN SPAIN
The Spanish Government has given the
go-ahead to grant residency permits to
non-EU citizens who invest in Spanish
property over €500,000.
In anticipation of the surge in demand from non-EU nationals,
Lucas Fox has established a division called Residency in Spain
(www.residencyinspain.com), a Joint Venture with ECIJA, one of Spain’s
leading law firms.
The aim is provide advice and support to clients who want to get
residency permits in Spain through property investments. The proposal
is intended to encourage foreign investors to buy in Spain, thereby
assisting the recovery of Spain’s property market.
A key factor is that Spain is a party to the Schengen agreement, meaning
that those with Spanish residency should be able to travel freely within
the Schengen zone (a group of 26 European countries that have
abolished passport and immigration controls at their common borders).

please contact: info@residencyinspain.com

10. LUCAS FOX
PROPERTY LOUNGES
In 2013 Lucas Fox opened the first of its Property Lounges at the company
Headquarters in central Barcelona. The second Property Lounge was opened
soon after in the market town of Alella on the Maresme Coast and further
Property Lounges are currently being planned for Mallorca, the Costa Brava,
Sitges, Ibiza and Marbella.
“The two new Lucas Fox Property Lounges in Barcelona
and Alella, on the Maresme Coast, are a new concept
in property retail space which we believe reflects our
company philosophy and will continue to set us apart
from traditional estate agencies in the region. They are
designed to be spaces where clients can drop in and
meet with our staff over a drink and will enable us to
provide a more one-to-one and personalized service to
our clients.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS
As a family we wanted to find someone
in the region that listened to us,
opened our eyes to the potential in
the area, and were willing to put the
time in. In Tom Maidment at Lucas Fox,
we found that person! The quality of
the properties on offer at Lucas Fox
were exceptional. The website was
simple to navigate and we were able
to select those which we wished to
see. Tom collected us from the airport,
and spent a number of days driving
us around the region, showing us the
properties, as well as giving us some
pointers on things to consider. We
made three trips over several months,
and never felt under pressure from
Tom. We feel our relationship with
Tom and the Lucas Fox team extends
beyond the transaction of buying a
house abroad, to the establishment
of a long term trusted partner in our
overseas adventure.
Journalist Lluís Pellicer from Spain’s most widely read newspaper ‘El País’
interviews Lucas Fox co-founder Stijn Teeuwen.
HR, April 2013
‘You are indeed to be
complimented on the
quality of both your
organisation and your staff’
We wish to complement your
organisation on its level of
professionalism and we particularly
wish to compliment your representative
- Victoria Lung - who managed the
sale on behalf of your organisation.
We were so favourably impressed by
her comprehensive knowledge of the
property market in Barcelona, her
general work ethic, her attention to
every detail, her organisational skills,
her prompt and timely response to
even the most cumbersome request,
and above all by her infinite patience
and her unfailing good humour that
we feel compelled to write to you to
sing her praises. You are indeed to be
complimented on the quality of both
your organisation and your staff.
CO & AAA, March 2013
SAY ABOUT US
‘(Joanna) showed us
apartments in many
different areas of the city,
and in many different
styles of buildings’
I wish to thank Joanna for looking
after us so well during our search for
an apartment in Barcelona. During
our “search” visits, she showed us
apartments in many different areas of
the city, and in many different styles
of buildings. Joanna was always very
friendly and professional in meeting us
on time and explaining the differences
between the flats. She spent some time
trying to agree on a price for the one
bedroom flat in Dreta de Eixample,
but when that was not possible, found
us the converted flat at the north
end of Barri Gotic; she dealt well
with the developer, recommended
us the solicitor and has helped us by
being available to check that all was
completed correctly in the flat and by
being on site when some furniture
was delivered.
‘We truly appreciate the
level of service provided to
us during the process’
I just wanted to send a big thank you
for your support over the last few
months, and for helping my partner
and myself to successfully buy a
property in Barcelona. We can’t be
happier with the outcome and we
truly appreciate the level of service
provided to us during the process.
Your agent Rafael Rosendo has been
extremely professional in his support
while keeping a personal level of
communication and involvement. We
will certainly be recommending his
services to our own network and will
definitely contact him for any future
business. He knew exactly what we are
looking for, found us several properties
that we are interested in and was
constantly available and reachable –
even during the weekends – to help us
complete the deal successfully.
