The figures are undeniable: in 2022, Belgians bought an average of 12.69 houses per day in Spain, and this number has risen to 13.8 in recent months. But why are Belgians buying homes in Spain en masse? We investigated for you!

The appeal of the Spanish lifestyle

The climate: a bright future

One of its biggest attractions is undoubtedly its mild, sunny climate. After periods of lockdown and restrictions, Belgians want more than ever to experience outdoor life and freedom. The Costa Del Sol's subtropical climate allows for year-round outdoor activities, from hiking to sailing.

Culture and hospitality

Beyond the ideal weather, there is the rich Spanish culture. Spaniards are known for their hospitality and daily life is laced with a sense of community. Family values, local festivals and a deep-rooted love of food make Spain a country where people quickly feel at home.

Working from home in paradise

An important factor in the decision to buy a house in Spain is the increase in working from home. Belgians find in Spain the ideal setting to work from home. Think sunny terraces, sea views and the opportunity to relax in beautiful surroundings after the working day. The pandemic has transformed regular office work and Spain offers the perfect balance between work and leisure.

Financial benefits of buying a house in Spain

Affordable property prices

While property prices in Belgium continue to rise, Spain still offers affordable options. Moreover, operational costs are lower. Due to mild temperatures and efficient construction methods, energy costs are often lower than in Belgium, which was an added incentive especially during the recent energy crisis.

Tax benefits

There are also tax incentives for Belgians choosing to buy a second home in Spain. While you need a Spanish notary for the purchase, it is possible to get additional mortgage credit through a Belgian bank, offering flexibility in financial planning.
