Property in Marbella
Introduction to Marbella
Marbella is located beneath the Sierra Blanca mountain range and is divided into two main parts - the old town, surrounded by Moorish fortress walls and characterised by narrow streets, and the new town, characterised by wide tree-lined avenues and high-rise blocks. Exclusive developments such as Hacienda Las Chapas, Los Monteros, El Rosario, Nagueles ('Golden Mile') and Nueva Andalucia surround the town and are made up of mostly luxurious mansions.
I would consider this to be the best part of Costa del Sol. To the west of Marbella lies the famous leisure marina, Puerto Banus, where anyone who's anyone can be found. The beach stretch of Marbella is massive, totalling 26 km, so you'll have no trouble finding a suitable sun bathing spot. In the centre of the old town there is the Orange Square where there are stately buildings, small shops, art galleries, bars and bistros to keep you busy.
Even though the property prices are high so are the rents. Yields are around 9% which is quite respectable compared to what you can get in the UK. You will never be short of a tenant as long as your property is up to scratch. People of this area expect a lot and if they get it they'll pay well for it!
