Price relations are usually the first sign of trouble, yet if one reviews the level of property prices and their increase over the past few years it becomes clear that there is no danger of a property bubble in the near future. Home prices have risen solidly, that’s true, but they remain well below the level of most major centres in Europe and other parts of the world. In other words, well below the areas where most buyers come from. Where the Costa del Sol was once overly dependent upon the British market, today’s buyers come from Scandinavia, the Benelux, France, Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, Morocco, the Middle East and of course the British Isles and Spain itself. Interestingly there is still a small buyers interest from the USA, China and Latin America markets. Already we have seen signs of positive changes such as the dramatic cut in inheritance and gift taxes that pertain to Andalucia, in addition to the introduction of lower income tax rates designed to attract more foreign investment to the region. ![](https://callowestates.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/THE-EDGE-%C2%B7-NVOGA-Marbella-Realty-AEREA-1024x576-1.jpg?width=1024&height=576&name=THE-EDGE-%C2%B7-NVOGA-Marbella-Realty-AEREA-1024x576-1.jpg) ## **Marbella Closer to Planning Closer to Planning Directive?** Although there has been no official announcement since the town hall under Mayor Angeles Muñoz vowed to reduce the waiting times for decisions on planning requests, work on completing the new planning directive, the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) is continuing apace. One thing we do know is that the new coalition in power at the Andalucian regional government in Sevilla will be far more favourable to Marbella and its development plans than previous administrations have been for the past few decades. This gives the local market greater stability and investor guarantees. In addition another positive development positive for Marbella and the Costa del Sol which must be mentioned, is the change in the regional government in Sevilla, after 42 years of uninterrupted socialist rule. Already we have seen signs of positive changes such as the dramatic cut in inheritance and gift taxes that pertain to Andalucia, in addition to the introduction of lower income tax rates designed to attract more foreign investment to the region.**?** -
