Webinar on “Buying a second home in Costa Blanca: the Why and the How”
On Thursday 2 December 2021, the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium in Luxembourg organised the webinar “Buying a second home on the Costa Blanca: the why and the how”, in collaboration with the Spanish company Provia.
During this webinar, the speakers Jesualdo Ros, Secretary General of Provia, and Caroline Clinton, Head of the Customer Service Department of Abaco Advisers, on behalf of Petra Bettens, legal advisor at Abaco Advisers, provided the attendees with information about the process of buying a second property in Spain and the benefits of this acquisition on the Costa Blanca.
Jesualdo Ros was the first to speak, sharing with the audience the statistics related to the purchase of flats and villas in the province of Alicante and giving advice on what are the first steps to take and what to consider when hiring someone to advise you on the purchase.
Price increases
Ros explained to the audience that currently Belgian nationals with property on the Costa Blanca are spending more time in this second home and are buying larger, more expensive and newly built properties. The secretary general of Provia added that because of this, prices have increased by an average of 4% but that the average age of the buyer has dropped to 52 years old.
Next, the floor was given to Caroline Clinton, from Abaco Advisers, who focused on the six steps in the process of buying a property on the Costa Blanca. Clinton explained that her company has provided legal advice to many Belgian nationals looking for a property and has helped them to establish contacts with notaries and local banks.
During the question and answer session, both speakers answered the doubts of the participants regarding the figure of the notary during the purchase process or the differences that exist between buying a flat or a house on the Costa Blanca.
From the Chamber, we would like to thank the speakers for their participation in this webinar and also for the interest of all the attendees.
Webinar on “Business Opportunities in selling to Defence Organisations”
Last Tuesday, November 30th, the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg organised a webinar on “Business opportunities in selling to Defence Oganizations”, in collaboration with its member company Premium Concept.
In this webinar, speaker Dionysia Leolei, Managing Partner of Premium Concept, offered information on what are the effective strategies and approaches to introduce and sell products and services to defence organisations, such as NATO, EU Defense and the Defence Ministries of the Allied Nations.
During the session, Leolei mentioned what the defence industries in the US and in the EU are like and highlighted the complexity of the sector due to its high technological development and the enormous competition. She also explained what actions Premium Concept would take to help participants identify what’s happening in the market before entering it.
At the end of the webinar, Dionysia recalled the importance of properly identifying the possibilities of each company with an expert and provided her contact to all attendees with questions that were interested in organising a 1-to-1 meeting.
Webinar on “Bikesperience, routes, live and work in Andalusia (Malaga y Almeria)”
On November 24th wednesday , from 13:00 to 14:00, the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg organised together with the partner company MTSpain- Advisor of “Living in Spain” (legal, home, insurance, banks) a webinar on “Bikesperience, routes, live and work in Andalusia (Malaga and Almeria)”. Antonio Jesús Reina from Turismo Andaluz, Heather Cooper (Hike + Bike), Milagros Granizo Muñoz (MTSpain), Maryna Yatsenyuk (Caixabank), Max Van Gorkom (Claire Joster), Cindy Rowe (Tiberghien) and finally, Gilbert Van Fraeyenhoven (Baguet Bicycle Center).
Due to the current situation of COVID-19, more and more people are interested in making the most of the possibility of having a balance between work and the quality of life that Andalusia offers, especially for those who love cycling, sun and open spaces. Thanks to the facilities offered by digitalisation, many Europeans, including Belgians and Luxembourgers, have shown interest in opting for a second home in Andalusia.
During the webinar, the main cycling routes that exist in Malaga and Almeria were exposed and the possibilities they offer for MTB, leisure, e-bike or hiking among others. Then they mentioned the services and facilities offered both financial and non-financial for people who want to work from Spain, taking into account the existing cultural differences exposed from personal experiences.
Among the doubts clarified in the webinar, there were issues related to the purchase of second homes, the most difficult and interesting routes for cycling enthusiasts or issues that may affect cycling groups located in Flanders and the support they may have to move to Spain.
From the Chamber, we would like to thank the speakers for their interventions and all the attendees for their presence.
