			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Saturday we had the opportunity to play the new course on its opening day and what a great course it is!! Set among the pine forests behind Campoamor and already it looks mature and bedded in.<span id="more-2106"></span></p>
<p>We arrived with plenty of time to spare so took advantage of the excellent practice facilities, were a pyramid of Callaway balls awaited at each position on the driving range, and on the first tee we were presented with named bag badges, nice touches. And so off we went, the  course wanders through the forest with some open holes, interesting par 3´s, a couple of pictureque lakes and a monster 600yard par 5.</p>
<p><a href="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/colinas-for-web.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2109 alignleft" title="colinas for web" src="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/colinas-for-web-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="213" height="140" /></a>The course is built away from housing unlike most courses here where buildings line the fairways, so you get the impression of being back in the English countryside at times.  Despite a first-hole fiasco, we managed a decent round with several of us scoring in the 30´s. Looking at the card afterwards we all seemed to do better on the back nine indicating this is slightly easier than the front. The greens are fast and the ball lands and sticks like it should, on occasions you need to think your way as some of the approaches are quite narrow.</p>
<p>On the whole a very enjoyable course, which seems to be built and run properly. Its not overly long playing-wise but the distances from green to tee make a buggy essential rather than optional. Tee times are 12 minutes apart so no queueing, the staff couldn´t be more helpful and the clubhouse facilities are top quality. The course costs a little more to play than the average around here but this is a superior course and there are some decent summer deals so we recommend you give it a try soon.</p>
<p>Thanks to Andy and Stuart from Fuegos Golf Society for arranging a great day, including breakfast and a hog roast&#8230;if only England had whipped the Yanks it would have been a perfect day!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Didn´t we do well? We already know we have some of the most beautiful beaches and marinas in Spain right here on our local shores and this is confirmed year after year by the announcement of the Official Blue Flag awards<span id="more-2099"></span>This year 521 Spanish beaches and 84 ports were awarded the coveted Blue Flag last Wednesday for cleanliness, safety and quality of services, 34 more than last year. Of those, 48 beaches and 11 ports in the Alicante region were successful, taking us to second place as a region in the whole of Spain.</p>
<p>Get your bucket and spades out because we have some great Blue Flag beaches right here on our doorstep. In <strong><a href="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/local-information/orihuela-costa" target="_self">Orihuela Costa</a></strong> are Flamenca Beach, Cala Capitan, Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Barranco Rubio and Mil Palmeras. In <strong><a href="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/local-information/torrevieja" target="_self">Torrevieja</a></strong> Los Naufragos and Cala Pietras get the nod and either side there are 3 beaches in Guardamar and 3 more in the Pilar de Horadada area. Marina International and the RCN Marina, both in Torrevieja, are accreditted along with Cabo Roig marina. Great news for these beaches and indeed, the area as a whole&#8230;.the Town Halls work very hard to achieve the distinction of these awards and the criteria is stiff.</p>
<p>Which brings me to thinking; I bet there are many beaches who probably just missed out on some minor point and I also know there are many superb coves and natural dune areas hereabouts, too small to be classified as beaches but which are little gems in their own right. Maybe they could have two classifications, Blue and, I don´t know, green? Or light blue? Or would that de-value the kudos attached to the Blue Flag? Whatever&#8230;.just get out and explore!!</p>
<p>Now where did I put my surfboard&#8230;??</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The official programme for the XIII <strong>San Javier Jazz Festival</strong> has been published with George Benson and Chris Izaak both sure to sell out pretty quickly. Other artists confirmed make for a top quality mix of international<span id="more-2037"></span> jazz, blues, soul singers and musicians such as Dianne Reeves, Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes, James Carter, Canned Heat, Doctor John and boogie-woogie mastro, Barrelhouse Chuck.   Chris Isaak kicks it all off on 2nd July and there are 11 other dates with George Benson appearing on 25th. Bringing up the rear on 31st are two Brits, Carol Kidd (who Frank Sinatra rated &#8220;the best kept secret of British Jazz&#8221;) and Paul Carrick, who has worked with Ace and Roxy Music to name but a few. All performances take place at the open-air 2000-seat Almansa Auditorium starting around 9,30pm (in theory!!). <strong>Ticket prices</strong> range from 12€ to 30€ and can be purchased from the festival office at San Javier Town Hall. Having missed it the last couple of years we are determined to get there this year, everyone who has been tell us its a great night, whoever is performing&#8230;.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have a favourite Tapas Bar? Do you own a Tapas Bar? Last December we had a couple of fun evenings traipsing around <strong>Torrevieja</strong> taking part in the <strong><span style="color: #800000;"><a href="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/premier-tapas-trail" target="_self">Tapas Marathon</a></span></strong>. Shortly afterwards <span id="more-2010"></span>I pledged on this website to devise a <strong><span style="color: #800000;">Premier Tapas Trail</span></strong>, a tried and tested route taking in the best of the tapas bars for the enjoyment of locals and tourists alike. Somewhere between then and now we got waylaid, the project is still not complete and we are now receiving requests for more info. Clearly we need help!! We really want this trail to be up and running for the summer season and so we need another 12 or so great tapas bars to feature, primarily in Torrevieja but also in the surrounding areas as we have decided to do a rural trail too.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sun has got his hat on..hip hip hip hooray!!! At last the long wet winter looks to be behind us, El Crisis seems to be abating and consumer confidence appears to be returning, albeit slowly. <span id="more-1799"></span>We are looking forward the return of the tourists this summer which can´t come too soon for the beleagured establishments and renters here in Spain. A decent summer obviously helps everyone and, most importantly for us, it will  kick-start the long term rental market.</p>
<p>We at Premier have worked very hard over the winter trying to stay focused on the needs of the changing market, introducing new products and building good working relationships with local agents and other information websites. We would like to put on record a BIG thank you to everyone who has helped us and encouraged us through some tough times.  The results of our efforts are beginning to show and we have every reason to be pleased with ourselves and optimistic about the coming year.</p>
<p>Statistics from our website are particularly encouraging: the number of unique visitors has increased 10-fold in the last 6  months, we are now getting an average of 54 visits per day. There are also signs that we are beginning to attract the elusive Scandinavian winter-over market with Sweden, Germany, Finland and The Netherlands all featuring in our top ten source countries for visitors to the site. Our analysis program shows us 6 of our 10 search phrases rank in the top 30 entries for Google and Yahoo&#8230;happy days!</p>
<p>Rental enquiries from all types of advertising are up by 61% on the same time last year and we are converting 26% of these into bookings, not too shabby at all!! We rented out 3 properties long term last month and as of yesterday we have 62 holiday weeks booked out this summer, more than the whole of last year already&#8230;</p>
<p>There is always room for improvement and we still need more properties but we firmly believe that right now no-one locally does more to help owners in their pursuit of rentals. We have also expanded our area to include San Pedro, Los Alcazares, Roda and the Polaris Golf resorts.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mayor of Torrevieja, Pedro Hernandez Mateo announced last Saturday that Torrevieja is the chosen site for Microsoft´s new Centre for Innovation in Health, aimed at developing new initiatives and software applications in health care.  This is great news for Torrevieja and <span id="more-1627"></span>the newly opened hospital in particular, since its numerous awards and ground-breaking application of information technology clearly impressed the Microsoft research team sufficiently for it to be chosen as the test bed site.</p>
<p>Francisco Camps, the President of Valencia region travelled to the USA to be told the good news by Bill Gates himself and said he hoped Torrevieja will become the new reference centre in Europe for innovations in health. Representatives from Microsoft and various European Health organisations will be in town next month to meet with local officials to get the project under way.</p>
<p>Way to go guys! Wonder if they can do anything innovative with the food??</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its official&#8230;!! Brits have had enough of the recession and the bad weather and all the major holiday websites are reporting record numbers of enquiries&#8230;but<span id="more-1505"></span> there are also record numbers of properties available.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The British and Northern Europeans struggling through their worst winter in decades may look to expats living in Spain and say &#8220;Lucky b*****s&#8221;. OK we have the weather (although winters can be cold here too), but all is not well on the Costas and indeed, in Spain generally.<span id="more-1608"></span>2009 was a dreadful year for Spain, whose economic health relies primarily on the building and tourist trades. Income from both these sectors plummetted last year, resulting in an unemployment rate of a whopping 19%&#8230; and thats only those who are claiming benefits. There is a huge black economy in Spain, mostly expat workers. Recent figures from the Valencian government tell us only 25% of Torrevieja´s 100,000 residents are registered in the Social Security system. Even allowing for the large number of retirees here, thats a very disturbing statistic. British expats returned home in their droves last year but an awful lot of cowboys and cash-in-hand workers remain and, understandably, the Spanish are a trifle miffed that these people are potentially taking jobs from them.</p>
<p>The property market in the Valencia region crashed spectacularly in 2009 with over 60% of construction projects postponed or cancelled, due to a combination of lack of buyers, banks withdrawing funding and developers going into administration, leaving thousands of buyers not knowing whether their dream home will ever be completed or indeed, whether they will get their deposits back if they are not. Prices for existing houses in this area have dropped by over a quarter, leaving thousands of owners in negative equity and still paying over the odds for their mortgage. And the rental market has fared no better, there being fewer new arrivals, less disposable income and thousands of properties on the market.</p>
<p>Tourism took a huge knock too with 11 million Brits paying us a visit compared to 17 million in 2008, principally due to the recession and the woefully weak British pound. The exchange rate took its toll too on residents here on fixed incomes  from the UK, who saw their monthly income dive by a third. Bars and restaurants have taken the brunt of El Crisis (as they call the recession here) with the triple whammy of less tourists, residents with less disposable income and those tourists who did arrive opting for cheap takeaways and home cooking. The only winners were the supermarkets who, I understand, made a hefty profit in 2009. Many establishments have closed their doors in the last year and, while some would say there were too many anyway, its always sad to see peoples´ hard work and dreams go up in smoke.</p>
<p>So&#8230;worrying times but are we still living the dream? I guess not in the commonly perceived sense of the phrase&#8230;work is hard to come by, but then it always has been&#8230;businesses are struggling, but then there is a worldwide recession on&#8230;people stuck in negative equity, its happened before&#8230;rising prices, its still cheaper to live here than in UK. On the other hand, whilst its cold here right now, we know we will get a summer, by the end of March we will be in shorts and T-shirts, the roads are jam-free, the pace of life is relaxed, people are generally more friendly and happy, nobody works on Sundays, beer is cheap and you can still smoke in bars.</p>
<p>Its not quite &#8220;The Dream&#8221; but on the whole I´d rather be here than there&#8230;.</p>
<p>Salud!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you own a Quara villa, house or apartment? If so get down to the sales office at Villamartin and claim your residents discount card&#8230;..Long overdue if you ask me!! <span id="more-1395"></span>Just show your escritura and passport and you will receive a card which entitles you to 20% off green fees, 15% off club membership, 20% off golf lessons (who needs them?) and between 5% and 20% off at the club shops, bars and restaurants, including hotel stays and spa treatments at the spanking new and very classy 5 star La Finca hotel..</p>
<p>PLUS..</p>
<p>For non-Quara owners&#8230;If you book your tee times at Villamartin, Las Ramblas or La Finca on-line its on average 5€ cheaper..book via <a href="http://www.grupquara.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800000;">www.grupquara.com</span></a><span style="color: #800000;">.</span> I doubt you can combine the offers but i´ll certainly give it a try and let you know.</p>
<p>PLUS..</p>
<p>Keep an eye on the noticeboards at the courses&#8230;they often have open competitions, anyone can enter as long as you are registered with the <a href="http://www.golfspainfederacion.com/page/newhome.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800000;">Spanish Golf Federation</span> </a>and green fees are often discounted, plus you have a chance of some good prizes, typically green fees or shop vouchers. Worst case scenario you get a cheap round of golf. Best case scenario you win too&#8230;I recently entered a torneo at Las Ramblas, green fee was 30€ and I came third and won 3 green fees&#8230; Good day at the office!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1229" title="P1020497" src="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/P1020497-300x222.jpg" alt="P1020497" width="187" height="127" />Yesterday Premier staff took part in the 3rd Annual Santa Fun Run, a hilarious spectacle which involves around 270 Santas running 5K along the seafront in Torrevieja<span id="more-1227"></span></p>
<p>We love this event! The Spanish have warmed to the idea now and come down to the front to cheer on all the runners, the tourists stand open-mouthed as their pleasant Sunday stroll along the beach is invaded by hundreds of Santas, huffing and puffing their way along or even just walking and chatting away&#8230;. Of course its all for a good cause, the cancer charity A.E.C.C has benefitted from around 26,000€ from this event and once all the sponsorship money is in this year, they anticipate cracking the 30,000€ mark.</p>
<p>In addition to our sponsorship money for the Santa Run, Premier organised a race-<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1230" title="P1020500" src="http://premiercostablancarentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/P1020500-300x203.jpg" alt="P1020500" width="200" height="132" />night and Christmas quiz at PB´s bar in Los Dolses, raising another 216€ for the cause.

Funded solely from donations, they run screening programmes for breast, cervical and prostate cancer, which can be cured or controlled if detected early enough. The local branch is run by Alan and Jackie James, themselves recovered cancer victims, who work sooo hard all year round to raise money for the cause.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The indications are that the property market has bottomed out. According to G-14, the committee of directors of Spains´s leading developers, the market for new homes is officially on the road to a mild recovery. <span id="more-1243"></span>&#8220;There is basis for optimism in the latest figures for September from the National Institute of Statistics&#8221;, they state. &#8220;Sales have risen for 5 consecutive months although year on year they are still down by 20% and compared to September two years ago, they are down 42%. Sales are bouncing back now largely due to lower prices and stricter controls on mortgage lending. However, for the recovery to continue developers have to make every effort possible to make Spanish property prices more attractive&#8221;.</p>
<p>All this seems to indicate that now is the time to buy&#8230;we know for a fact that there are crazy bargains to be had right now and we know of buyers offering way below the asking price and getting it&#8230;if you have been waiting for the right time to buy, all the indications are that this is it!!</p>
<p>Speaking to Estate Agent friends here all the signs are that investors and bargain hunters have started a mini buying spree and they are already running out of bargain basement properties to sell.  If you are interested in investment opportunities contact us now!!</p>
<h1>Spanish property market recovery?</h1>
<div>
<p>August 23, 2009 by <a title="Posts by glynis" href="../author/glynis/">glynis</a> · <a href="../438/spanish-property-market-recovery#respond">Guestbook</a> <a title="Edit post" href="post.php?action=edit&amp;post=438">(Edit)</a></p>
</div>
<p>Latest figures show an increase in Spanish property sales for two months in a row, May and June. However house prices are still at their lowest level for years as buyers are primarily in the cash/investor sector, snapping up bargains in the distressed and repossessed market.  Estate agents warn it will still be some time before we see prices begin to rise…..that won´t happen until the banks start to lend again, probably not until next year or even 2011.</p>
<p>Good news for the rental market though, more people than ever need or want to rent their home in the sun and demand is still high, so if you are reasonable with your price there is a good chance of long-term rental over the winter. We are also seeing an increase in holiday enquiries for next year,  many have  foregone their holiday this year but are keen to get early bargains to ensure they don´t miss out next year.</p>
<p>Good prices is the key to rental bookings at the moment…our advice is to do whatever you can now to get those weeks booked…a bird in the hand….!! If you need help or advice with long term or holiday rental give us a call or email us</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hard-pressed second-home owners are increasingly making their properties available to rent, either full time or on a holiday let basis. The advantages are obvious… you get to keep your dream home in the sun, someone else contributes to the cost…perfecto!<span id="more-1211"></span></p>
<p>The reality, however, is not so easy. There are two main issues. The first obvious and biggest problem is you may live 2000 miles away..how will you deal with any problems that may arise? Secondly, the current recession has resulted in a massive increase in available properties, with the inevitable consequence that prices have plummetted. How do you attract potential renters to <em>your</em> property and achieve a reasonable return?</p>
<p>Whether you are looking for long term rental for regular income or holiday rentals to help with the bills, the basic rules are the same. Here are our top 10 tips</p>
<ol>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Price your property realistically</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Kit your property out with good quality furniture and fixtures, with matching bed sets and towels</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Employ a local, legal, and reliable agency to act on your behalf</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Ensure you are legally covered with Public Liability and Contents Insurance</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Keep it simple but homely; remove personal items such as photos, souvenirs etc, if possible keep a locked cupboard or room to store these items </span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Pictures say a thousand words, think &#8220;Showhouse&#8221; when you present your property &#8211; lay tables, put out sunbeds, decorate patios</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Install aircon, heating, UK TV, grilles, alarm and safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and smoke alarms</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Provide as many extras as you can afford e.g. Internet access, Playstation, pool toys, books &amp; games, welcome pack</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Research other similar properties in your area and be realistic about your rental goals<br />
</span></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Work together with a local, reliable agency to identify your target market and use a variety of local and international advertising methods. You may want to think about targetting specialist markets such as walking groups, disabled, people with young children or retired winter-overs.<br />
</span></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Have you registered your Spanish pay-as-you-go mobile phone? If not the number will have been discontinued and you will need to go to your supplier for a new SIM card..<span id="more-1102"></span>As a security measure the Spanish government has decreed that all mobile phones have to be traceable, the deadline for registering phones was November 9th this year. According to which paper you read there are anywhere between 30,000 and 80,000 unregistered mobiles out there which have now been switched off. I´m betting most of those belong to people in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. </span><span style="color: #000000;">So if you are planning a trip here and you haven´t registered your Spanish phone it won´t work..</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The rest will belong to those poor unfortunates who couldn´t get their phones registered in time due to the chaotic registering system whereby one made several trips to the relevant office and queued for hours only to find the computer systems were down (it took me 4 attempts). Predictably, during the last fortnight before switch-off you couldn´t even get near the phone shops..luckily i started my quest in September and finally got it done end of October, it took all of 3 minutes&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Some people I know just gave up and bought a new one, so I guess some of those 30,000 will now be in the bin. </span><span style="color: #000000;">The next question is what happens to all the credit already paid into those unregistered phones? So far none of the suppliers seem able to answer that one.. quelle surprise!!</span></p>
