The McBroons have been feathering their own nests and lining up nifty pensions for ministers and MPs while British families, the over-50s and pensioners feel the economic pinch and face the prospect of being highly taxed forever to repay the £750 billion debt mountain built up.
Those who are still able to do so are planning their futures on the basis that the McBroons have wrecked the British economy, will lose power and the Cameron Clan will still need a decade to clear-up the mess. The taxpayer, you might imagine, will be the biggest contributor…
Meanwhile in Spain, government action seems to be having a greater effect as the economic power driver, the property market, is becoming brisker. Buyers from Spain and northern Europe are taking advantage of the massive price falls and the many bargain Spanish bank repossessions.
1,000 sales a week is a lot better than the levels in the UK market and an increasing number of the buyers are Brit over-50s planning for their retirement and using savings to invest in a place in the sun sooner rather than later. Their families can enjoy holidays in a villa or apartment bought for a bargain price and then it can be used for part-time or fulltime living nearer or after retirement.
Leading Spanish property website, Kyero summed up the three latest reports on the local economy as follows:
- Things are still getting worse
- But they're getting worse more slowly than before
- This means we're nearing the bottom of the curve
- After reaching the bottom, the only way is up
Whether you prefer short term pessimism, long term optimism, says Kyero, the time is right for the EU to force Spain to repeal it’s “shoddy property laws” as this will help get the market back to normal much quicker.
Buying now would seem to be a good option and newly completed developments like Mojón Hills Resort in unspoilt Murcia offer unbeatable packages that include big discounts off current valuations, 90% mortgages and guaranteed rental deals for three years.
