Property sales to foreigners in Malaga rise by 30 per cent - kansen voor Nederlandse bouwsector

The list of foreign property buyers is led by British, Scandinavian, French, Benelux buyers, Germans and Russians, in that order. “Russian demand, which became almost as important as British, has gone down significantly due to the domestic problems of the country,” said Prados.

Of the foreigners who buy a property in Malaga province, the vast majority (8,010 of 9,190) are already residents in Spain. The number of non-resident buyers has not increased significantly, despite a government initiative to provide resident permits.
