Spanish Property Owners
Greetings!
The Rain in Spain -
For those who are complaining about the UK
weather, take heart in the fact that we are not
faring much better here.
For nearly two
weeks, temperatures have varied
between 2 8 degrees in the daytime and lowering
considerably at night. Skies are grey and it has
rained on and off for 2 weeks. The consequence of
the torrential rains we have here are flooded streets,
avalanches of washed away building soil and gravel
covered roads, power cuts, flooded homes, leaking
ceilings, mouldy walls, and shoes filled with water
when you step outside. Spanish roads are not built
with a camber as in the UK, which results in their flat
surfaces just filling up like a river.
Although these temperatures are not low compared
to UK standards, bear in mind that Spanish houses
have no insulation and do not retain warmth - any
heating just evaporates through the walls. Those
cold floor tiles that are so welcome in the summer,
are freezing to walk on during winter. All this is no
fun, but I guess it should be taken with a pinch of
salt as it is the price that must be paid for other nine
months of sunny and pleasant temperatures.

First Franchise Operation in Mojacar
Welcome Barry & Sue on board
The Citrus Iberia Franchise opportunity which was
launched late last year, has got off to a flying start
with our second office now opening in Mojacar. Due
to open 1st February, we have been experiencing the
same delays as we did here in Benissa phone lines
ordered in December still not installed, opening
licence again applied for in December, still not
arrived. However, the new owners are now living in
Mojacar and will welcome any enquiries from property
owners in the area. See Citrus Iberia
Mojacar. For details of how to join Citrus Iberia
with our low cost franchise opportunity, please
contact us. Many of the most popular tourist areas
still available.
In order to celebrate the start of our 5th year in
business, and our new office in Mojacar, we attach
herewith a token offering 20% off our annual
management agreement to any new owners coming
on board with us during February.
Renting your Property Long Term
Advantage of Long Term Renting
With the annual average temperature of 21C, and
being so close to the UK, the Costa Blanca attracts
both retirees looking to escape the British winter,
and people hoping to make a new life in sunnier
climes, thus the demand for long term rentals is
high. Just this week, we have filled three properties
with long term tenants here in Benissa. Our Sales
and Rentals website is performing well in terms of
area specific searches for long term rentals,
and we have many enquiries from people looking, but
a short supply of available properties.
Long term rental income is not high, on average
between 800 1000 euros for a 3 bed villa with a
pool, and 500 600 euros for a 2 bed apartment +
bills. However, for those who dont visit their
property that often, it is a guaranteed monthly
income and worth considering now the holiday rental
market is so competitive. The other advantage of
renting your property long term is that tenants do
not require the same high standards as a holiday let.
Telephones, ADSL, Sat TV are all installed and
registered by the tenant, not the owner.
Still going after all these years!
5 years on
We are still one of the few professional Property
Management Companies on the Coast (many offer
these services from home & some illegally), and after
5 years are still going strong. Our Property
management agreement / Home Management problem
prevention scheme allows us to use our time
to 'prevent rather than cure' by visiting fortnightly
your home and reporting and attending to any
problems immediately. This ensures that not only is
your Spanish property properly looked after, but will
be in tip top condition for either your arrival, or that
of your holiday guests. For owner enquiries and all
rental enquiries, contact Gary at gary@citrus-
iberia.com who has now taken over the rentals and
accounts.
Our Property management team are able to
care for your home in your absence; we organize gas
bottles, changeovers, welcome packs, car hire (if
required), and provide a point of contact for your
clients if they have any problems such as lost keys,
equipment failure or emergencies such as doctors,
dentists or hospitals. We will also deal with any
maintenance work that needs to be carried out. We
are a one stop shop taking the work and worry from
you whilst you sit back and enjoy the income! So
contact us now and find out how easy it is to make
that extra income. Contact me at debbie@citrus-
iberia.com or via our websites - I look forward to
hearing from you.
