Insight Briefing: Quantifying British Property Ownership in Spain

Mark Stuklin / Spanish Property Insight

Though we are often asked it the question how many British nationals own property in Spain? it is surprisingly difficult to answer. There is no single database, government or otherwise, containing the answer. It should be easier to deal with a related question how many Spanish properties belong to British owners? as the Spanish Land Registry should contain this information.

Key numbers summarised

• There are117,322 British nationals resident in Spain, 27% of the total of non-Spanish EU nationals resident in Spain. The British are the biggest group, followed by the Germans with 68,812 or 16% of the total.


• The best estimate we have for the number of Spanish properties owned by the British at the end of 2003 is 600,000.


• Between 40% and 50% of all overseas properties purchased by the British are in Spain.


• 50,000 to 70,000 Spanish properties bought by the British each year, approximately 35-45% of the total sold to foreigners (of coastal properties).

Housing price bubbles - a tale based on housing price booms and busts.

Thomas Helbing / International Monetary Fund

The purpose of this paper is to establish the main empirical regularities of housing price booms and busts in industrial countries over the last 30 years – the focus on booms and busts obviates the need to measure or explain “bubbles”, which, as noted below, remains highly controversial. In particular, the paper will address the following questions:
• How frequent were housing price booms and busts? How often did housing price booms end in busts?
• What were the real consequences of housing price booms and busts? Were busts always associated with severe implications for economic activity? Were the implications of housing price boom-bust cycles different from that of other housing price cycles?
• What was the relationship between housing price boom-busts and interest rates? Were credit market conditions and housing price booms related?
