PRICES ON THE COAST

If you own or are considering purchasing a property on the costa verde then in your search you will discover that prices are higher on the coast. Properties close to the coast are being sold at a premium to those further inland. It is also true to say that there is a higher density of properties on the coast mainly because the coastal areas and beaches become quite busy during the popular summer months.

Price sensitive purchasers should consider travelling no more than half an hour inland where the prices of properties can be up to 50% cheaper. There is also more choice in the lower price bracket of 150,000 euros or less and if you are seeking peace and tranquility then being inland could be for you.

Buying on the coast does not mean that you will have views to the sea and prices remain relatively high even ten minutes drive inland. A property in the hills less than half an hour from the coast can be relatively cheap and the views could be stunning.

"My advice to purchasers seeking property is to spend a couple of trips in Asturias going around the different areas and visiting all the estate agents possible. This way you can get a good idea of the property available and the relevant prices"
