IT’S no secret that the price of property in London can be extortionate.
The average price for a 385 square foot one-bedroom flat just outside the city centre is £473,073 (€534,729), according to the Nationwide House Price Index — a staggering 100% higher than the UK national average price of £234,794 (€265,000). But what could you get for the same price in Andalucia’s property hotspots? The answer is probably a LOT more…
Los Barrios Finca €499,000
This impressive finca in Los Barrios is a steal at just €499,000. The south-facing views look out over a lake and stunning mountains, and are protected from any development as the property sits on the edge of the Alcornacales natural park. Below the house is a basement area complete with workshop, wine bodega, garden furniture store and wood pile. The current owners have spent 30 years creating an impressive garden complete with fruit trees, sweeping lawns, terraces for grapes and figs and a landscaped pool with circular summer house. The private and peaceful plot sits in a very friendly community. REF: WW161 www.winkworth.es
