Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol – lees hier wat wij voor u kunnen betekenen – Nederlandse makelaar Costa del Sol

Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol

Aangenaam kennis te maken! Wij zijn de Nederlandse makelaar Malaga en Costa del Sol. Een nieuw makelaarskantoor dat bestaat sinds de lente van 2016 maar dat alleen bestaat uit doorgewinterde en ervaren ondernemers. Mensen met een gewone achtergrond, misschien net als die van u. Maar ook mensen die al minstens 10 jaar in Spanje wonen en er succesvol zaken hebben gedaan en een betrouwbaar netwerk van professionals om zich heen hebben gebouwd. Hiermee onderscheiden wij ons dan ook: wij zijn niet slechts één van de vele ¨inmobiliarias¨! Wij waren ooit zelf buitenlandse huizenkopers in Spanje en kennen alle frustraties die een woningaankoop in Spanje met zich kan meebrengen. Ons doel is om deze frustraties – met uw hulp – tot een minimum te beperken.

Klikt u hier om een deel van ons aanbod te bekijken.

Ons team wordt geleid door JM van Dolder. Alles bij elkaar hebben we decennialange ervaring met woningverkopen zowel herverkoop van woningen als nieuwbouw aan de Costa del Sol.

Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Marbella

JM van Dolder: ¨Sinds eind 2015 hebben wij een hele duidelijke trend geconstateerd dat kopers weer investeren aan de Costa del Sol. Voor wat betreft Marbella is dit vooral nieuwbouw. Marbella is populairder dan ooit en in het bijzonder nieuwbouw in de prijscategorie 1 miljoen – 2,5 miljoen Euro gaat als warme broodjes over de toonbank. Sommige mensen kopen simpelweg op basis van de tekeningen terwijl er nog geen steen is gelegd¨. Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: wij helpen u met het kopen van uw woning in Marbella.

Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Torrox

In vergelijking met Marbella wordt er in Torrox veel minder nieuwbouw aangeboden. Hier gaat het meer om bestaande woningen. Torrox wordt steeds populairder. Waar vroeger naast de Spanjaarden vooral Duitse gepensioneerden de plaats bevolkten, is dit heden ten dage veelzijdiger geworden. Het lokale bestuur van Torrox onder leiding van burgemeester Óscar Medina España investeert veel tijd, energie en geld in het welzijn van de gemeente. Projectleider Sandra Extremera heeft een project dat al 30 jaar op de plank lag, eindelijk mogen starten: het verbeteren van de kwaliteit van het strand door de bouw van 2 pieren. Inmiddels is het dubbele aantal FTE ingezet om ervoor te zorgen dat beide pieren deze zomer klaar zijn. Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: niet direct te vinden in Torrox maar gelukkig hebben wij er veel andere types woningen te koop staan van eenvoudige appartementen tot luxe villa´s in het buitengebied.

Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Nerja

Kent u Nerja al? Een typisch wit Spaans dorp in het oosten van de Costa del Sol. Een autentiek dorp dat haar eigen karakter behouden heeft maar waar u ook alles vindt wat u als moderne toerist of resident nodig heeft. Nerja is ook de plek waar de Sierra de Alhama, Tejeda en Almijara de Middellandse Zee treffen. Vergeleken met Torrox is er in Nerja een groter maar ook duurder aanbod te vinden aan diverse woningen van appartmenten tot luxe villa´s in de prijscategorie over de 2 miljoen Euro. Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: niet direct te vinden in Nerja maar de alternatieven zijn zeer kwalitatief in wijken als Punta Lara en San Rafael.

Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Frigiliana

Frigiliana is de parel van de Costa del Sol. Niet voor niets is het al driemaal uitgeroepen tot mooiste dorp van Spanje! Frigiliana biedt de ideale mix tussen het leven aan de kust en het meer traditionele leven landinwaarts. Mensen van over de hele wereld bezoeken Frigiliana en veel mensen verwezenlijken er hun droom door er te blijven. Inzake nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: net als in Nerja en Torrox past nieuwbouw niet echt bij het karakter van de plaatsen. Maar ook in Frigiliana zijn er genoeg alternatieven te vinden van idyllische dorpshuizen tot luxueuze paleizen.

Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol kunnen wij u overigens wel bieden RONDOM de plaatsen Nerja en Torrox. Bij Torrox hebben wij al woningen met 3 slaapkamers, 3 badkamers en 3 terrassen vanaf 159.900 Euro. Maar voor de grote en meer prestigieuze projecten rijden wij u ook graag naar Marbella!

    Torrox News – Sometimes it seems that our traditional Spanish paella has become fast food, says Carlos Morata owner of La Rompiente fine dining restaurant Torrox

    History of paella

    In the mid-19th century people from the area near the Albufera lagoon on the Spanish east coast adjacent to the city of Valencia invented the paella. Paella is a Valencian rice dish with ancient roots. Paella is considered Spain´s main dish by many people from outside the country. The Spanish themselves, however, consider paella a regional Valencian dish. The people from Valencia of course consider it as one of their identifying symbols.

    Has paella become a fast food dish?

    A traditional and real paella is prepared with care and is always served freshly. Unfortunately, because of its popularity among the many tourists that visit Spain, it is often prepared in mass production in order to face up to the high demand. ¨If you want to taste and enjoy a real paella, however, you should take your time and have patience¨, says Carlos Morata, owner of La Rompiente fine dining restaurant in Torrox. He adds: ¨Spain and especially the Costa del Sol are ideal locations to enjoy the real Spanish life that does not know any rushes. Allow us the time to serve you a real traditional Spanish paella in Torrox while you enjoy our best climate in Europe¨. In order to avoid waiting a long time for your paella in Torrox, we only serve prior reservation. ¨Of course we understand that tourists that are on a holiday in Torrox, Nerja or anywhere in Axarquia do not want to lose time waiting too long for a freshly made paella, that is why we offer the possibility to make a reservation on phone number 952 532 865¨, says Carlos.

    What are the ingredients of a paella in Torrox at La Rompiente fine dining restaurant?

    Every chef has his or her secrets, but Carlos is not making any secret of the fresh ingredients he uses for his paella: tomatoes, squid, mussels, peppers, white wine, garlic, shrimps, seafood fumet, olive oil and – of course – rice.

    Torrox News – lawyer about new regulation for apartments with touristic purposes – lawyers Torrox, Torre del Mar, Axarquia

    lawyer about new regulation for apartments with touristic purposes

    Legal advice from  lawyers Torrox – Torre del Mar – Axarquia: New regulation for apartments with touristic purposes

    Article co-sponsored by Malaga Estates.

    Your lawyer lawyer about new regulation for apartments with touristic purposes. The Junta de Andalucía has just published the Decree 28/2016, which hereafter will regulate the functioning and controlling of the so-called ‘apartments with touristic purposes’ in Andalusia.

    Based on the following list of characteristics it is possible to differentiate the apartments for touristic purposes, as defined by this rule, from others:
    – They are located on land for residential purposes (it is not possible to establish them on land where urban regulation determines a service usage, such as, commercial, office or hotel purposes).
    – There must be an established price for the accommodation.
    – The service should be offered regularly and for touristic purposes.
    – There are two modalities of apartments for touristic purposes: complete modality or per rooms.

    Besides, the Decree highlights four cases where the regulation would not apply:

    1. When there is no economical remuneration for the touristic accommodation.
    2. When the booking period exceeds two consecutive months by the same user. In this scenario an existing regulation for Let will apply.
    3. When the apartment is located on rural land, with its own specific rule.
    4. When there are groups of three or more apartments that belong to the same owner or operator located in the same building or group of buildings, contiguous or not, since the regulation for ‘touristic apartments’ would be already in force.

    From the 11th of May 2016, it will be necessary to register at the Andalusian Touristic Registry to be entitled to offer an apartment for touristic purposes. Nevertheless, a one-year period has been granted for the given apartments to meet the necessary requirements as outlined by the new regulation.

    With this in mind, at our lawyers office we have highly skilled professionals who specialize in Real Estate and Urban Law and who can offer advice and help you to comply with the new regulations.

      Torrox News – your business on top of Google´s first page within seconds – Google domination

      Torrox News – your business on top of Google´s first page within seconds

      Would a number one position on Google´s first page affect your business positively?

      I am sure you will know the answer! But how can you achieve this? How much would it cost and how many technical SEO (Search Engine Optimization) specialists would I have to hire? Those guys use to ask thousands of Euros, would you charge that as well?

      I have got good news for you but let me first introduce myself a bit more. As a international marketing expert I started working for the British-Dutch company Unilever in different countries. I am talking about the pre-internet era and I believe Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook´s founder – was even not born in that time. My marketing coach was Philip Kotler, the inventor of modern marketing since the 50s who experienced the move from product focus to market focus through the decades very closely.

      It was in that company Unilever where I sent my first e-mail. I was amazed!! I sent my first message from Santiago de Chile to my colleague in the Netherlands and got an immediate reply. I decided to work for IBM and learn about communication technology and how traditional marketing and the latest technologies could help people grow their businesses.

      This happened decades ago and for years the words from the late Mr Frits Philips have become true: ¨It would be nice if we could have a small appliance that can help us talk to the other side of the world from our back yard¨, he said in the late 80s.

      This is all history. People are used to using phones, apps and all kind of appliances in daily life. For years marketeers have been trying to find the magic formula how to be connected with the end-users of their company´s products and services. Some of them succeeded, some of them failed.

      What I can do for you: dominate the first page of Google

      Now, what businesses can I help dominating the first page of Google? First of all this is not about advertising. Advertising is just a small element of a company´s marketing mix. If your company understands Philip Kotler´s 4 Ps (Product, Place, Price, Promotion) and if you as an entrepreneur know that Passion, People and Patience are key factors in any business´ success, I can help you!

      What would it cost?

      If you know what you are doing as an entrepreneur having clear business objectives based on your strengths and weaknesses while understanding your opportunities and threaths, it would be a pleasure for me to help you with that last step leading to dominating Google´s first page. The exact cost would depend on your business but do not worry: it will never be more than 1,000 Euros and many times it would cost you even less than 100 Euros.

      Interested? Let us get in touch through a simple e-mail to jvandolder1970@gmail.com. This is what I will ask you:
      1. I need seriousness: financial commitment by payment of 50 Euros (plus 21% IVA)
      2. A recent SWOT-analysis. I can help you with this, free of charge if you commit financially (see ¨1¨);
      3. Your view regarding the 7Ps in your business.

      A couple of local businesses have chosen my Google services and references can be given.
