Taylor Wimpey España has revealed that British and Irish nationals remain a dominant force in Spain's second-home market, with 45% of them aged between 45 and 59. Over the past two years, 80% of these buyers opted for properties in the Costa del Sol, particularly favouring apartments with two or three bedrooms. Developments such as Solana Village, Sunny Golf, and Emerald Greens have seen significant traction, with an average purchase price of EUR 497,000. Key-ready homes and off-plan units continue to be available at select locations.
Taylor Wimpey España has disclosed detailed buyer trends regarding British and Irish nationals purchasing homes in Spain. Over the past two years, 45% of these homebuyers have been aged between 45 and 59, reflecting a strong interest from those in midlife, many of whom are considering long-term retirement planning while enjoying lifestyle benefits in the present.
The Costa del Sol has remained the prime location of choice, drawing 80% of the total purchases made by British and Irish clients. Despite the developer's presence in Costa Blanca and Mallorca, buyers showed a clear preference for southern Spain. Access to top-tier golf courses has been one of the key motivators, reinforcing the area's appeal to affluent, leisure-oriented individuals.
Taylor Wimpey España identified three developments with the highest uptake from British and Irish clients: Solana Village within La Cala Golf Resort, Sunny Golf at Estepona Golf, and Emerald Greens located within the prestigious San Roque Golf Club in the Cadiz region.
Regarding the type of properties purchased, apartments continue to significantly outperform townhouses, accounting for 86% of all sales made to buyers from the UK and Ireland. Both two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations were in high demand, with an average transaction value of EUR 497,000.
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey España, remarked that British and Irish buyers clearly valued high-quality residences in proximity to golf facilities and beaches. He stated that the company remained focused on identifying new plots for development in sought-after regions to ensure long-term value for both primary and secondary homeowners.
Currently, key-ready apartments are available at Solana Village, starting from EUR 410,000 plus VAT, and at Emerald Greens from EUR 415,000 plus VAT. Off-plan opportunities also remain open at Solana Village and Sunny Golf, with the latter offering homes from EUR 375,000 plus VAT.
The current availability of both ready-to-move and off-plan homes in popular developments reflects the developer's forward-looking approach to maintaining appeal among international buyers seeking Mediterranean living.
