Mallorca property sees demand rise

Mallorca

Mallorca has experienced an increase in demand from property investors, new figures reveal.

A report by property portal Kyero.com shows that more than half of all the enquiries the firm received in the first quarter of this year were for real estate on the Balearic island.

Findings further revealed that nearly one in five (17.1%) of all enquiries made were for properties priced between ?300,000 (£260,000) and ?500,000 (£434,000), with most being for two bedrooms.

Ignacio Osle, sales and marketing director of Taylor Wimpey de Espana, said: "Mallorca seems to be receiving a touch of the Monaco effect, attracting the rich and famous to our shores.

"The island is already noted for being fashionable, desirable and fantastic for boat owners and beach lovers alike."

The capital, Palma, which was recently voted one of the five leading Spanish towns for travel and tourism in 2010 by Exceltur, emerged as the most popular location among property investors, followed by Andratx and Puerto Pollensa, in the report by Kyero.
