Hallowe'en at Casamona!!



The spooky season is upon us and the frightening festivities are well under way at the Casamona Barcelona office! Kim and Annabel expertly carved a pumpkin to make a Jack-o-lantern for the office, to ward off all the evil spirits. The boys had great fun dressing up and parading their costumes around the office, with Tom dressed as a Nun, Anthony a pirate, Andy an Indian and Chris as Death we all got quite a fright. Luckily, Nicolas gave them treats in return for their tricks and sent them back to work. A fun filled afternoon for all at Casamona, capped off with our weekly dose of "Friday Wine". Have a look at our photos above and have a Happy Hallowe'en!

Testimonial from an Intern

"Casamona is really Unique and Different company and, thanks to that, is still alive leading the market in Barcelona. Within the agency, I learned how to work in a department, how to develop clear communication with my other colleagues and how to organize my work. Casamona’s interns are given a lot of responsibilities and quickly learn how to be independent. I loved it and I believe this experience will help me to pursue my goal after my studies: running my own business. I would have loved to stay a little more time to gain more opportunities to deal with clients. Over here, everyone is friendly and always available to help you when you need advice or directions!"

Yohann, Intern at Casamona in 2008

Spain is the Most Popular Property Search in the UK

As Globaledge reports, more people in the UK search for properties in Spain than any other place in the world. The report is based off of data that tallies the amount of hits on search engines within the country. France is the runner-up but still nowhere near the over 10% that Spain generated in property related searches.

As the report suggests, there is a considerable amount of interest in many different areas of Spain, not just one or two hotspots.


THE BRITS STILL LOVE SPAIN

"Searches for Spain and regions and towns within it dominate the results. Five out of the top ten most popular locations are Spanish and the top 103 locations are dotted with Spanish towns and coastal names. If you sell overseas property in Spain, it maybe worth sourcing partners in these places if you haven’t already.

Although the obvious locations of Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are the most popular Spanish regions, the popularity of the Canary Islands is perhaps the most interesting finding. There is considerable search volume even at local level, with Costa Teguise (Lanzarote), Palm Mar (Tenerife) and Caleta de Fuste (Fuerteventura) all appearing in the list. "

Should You Buy Or Rent?

When deciding to buy or rent, you should first ask yourself several questions before you make your decision.

1. Can I have access to a house of similar characteristics by buying or renting?
2. Are rental prices in my town/district similar to the mortgage payments of similar houses on sale?
3. Can I buy a house, financing the total amount?
4. Do I consider other expenses, besides the mortgage, that as an owner I will have: taxes, residents' association, maintenance?
5. Have I taken into account the fiscal treatment of house purchase?
6. Do the interest rates and terms of the mortgage allow me to pay the monthly installments and hence, buy a home for only a little more than the price of rental?

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need advice regarding this important decision!
