A shared dream despite international careers
A couple from Germany had worked in various European countries for many years. The husband was employed as an aerospace engineer at an international group; his wife worked for a Swiss pharmaceutical company. Both could carry out their work mostly remotely and wanted to move their centre of life permanently to the Costa Blanca.
After several viewings, the decision fell on a modern villa in Albir. The quiet residential setting, the proximity to the beach promenade and the excellent infrastructure made the place an ideal choice for the new chapter of life.
Initial situation
The buyers had two stable incomes from different countries and well-built equity. In addition, there was a long-term securities portfolio that was deliberately not to be liquidated.
As both wanted to continue their professional activity for a few more years, durable financing with sufficient financial reserves was central.
Financing overview
- Purchase price: 1.325.000 €
- Additional costs: 172.250 €
- Renovation (photovoltaics, heat pump, pool technology and outdoor lighting): 137.000 €
- Total investment: 1.634.250 €
- Equity: 706.750 €
- Financing required: 927.500 €
The financing share corresponded to around 70 % of the purchase price.
The challenge
The income circumstances were economically very solid but, due to the different employers and countries, had to be documented in a fully traceable way.
In addition, the buyers planned several energy improvements and a high-quality redesign of the outdoor areas.
All measures were to be implemented immediately after the transfer of ownership.
Analysis
First all income documents were compiled in a structured way and the long-term financial situation was considered.
In parallel, the planned modernisation costs were calculated in detail and included, together with the purchase price and additional costs, in the total investment.
The buyers deliberately chose to keep part of their assets invested and not to build the financing solely from own funds.
Financing solution
The financing was set at around 70 % of the purchase price.
The additional costs and a considerable share of equity were paid from existing funds.
All modernisation measures were also fully integrated into the original financing planning. This meant the work could be completed directly after handover.
Outcome
Just a few months later, the villa was fully modernised and ready to move into.
Today the buyers live mainly in Albir and can continue to carry out their work flexibly. At the same time, their asset structure remained balanced and sufficient liquidity for future decisions was preserved.
What other buyers can learn
International income circumstances are no longer a rarity today. What is decisive is transparent documentation and financing that also fits personal life planning over the long term.
Frequently asked questions
Can incomes from different countries be taken into account?
Why were the modernisation costs planned before the purchase?
Why was the securities portfolio not used in full?
Conclusion
Buying a villa in Albir shows that successful property financing is possible even with international income structures. Anyone who carefully coordinates equity, modernisation and long-term asset planning creates a solid basis for a permanent home on the Costa Blanca.
