Russian buyer numbers double in marbella

International agency Fine & Country Spain has experienced a huge surge of interest from Russians looking to buy residential property in Marbella this year.

Laurent Coulée, sales director at Fine & Country Spain, told OPP this week that “the number of Russians looking to buy homes in the area has doubled since last year.”

“They are typically looking for high value properties on the Coast and on exclusive estates such as La Zagaleta and Sierra Blanca – both of which are renowned for their good quality homes and high levels of security.”

Part of the attraction to buy property in Marbella is the amount of flights available from Russia to Malaga, says Fine & Country. Twenty airlines have direct routes to Malaga from major cities and from Moscow there are 81 flights per week. Marbella is just 45 minutes drive from Malaga airport.
