Fears Of A Property Crash In Spain

There’s an interesting report in the Telegraph about fears of a property crash in Spain. Prices of property have apparently peaked and price increases have fallen from over 13% to around 5% over there following a huge amount of building which has led to an over supply of properties.

A building firm in Valencia has seen it’s share value plummet 62% while other companies have fallen between 8 and 11%.

With interest rates rising generally throughout Europe and the likelihood that air travel will become more expensive as more green taxes are imposed it may well be that Spanish property will not be as good an investment in the future as it has been in recent years.

British buyers have flocked to Spain but as the cost of borrowing increases demand is bound to ease. Many have borrowed against their British property to fund holiday homes in Spain so their costs will be rising as the interest rates increase. In another report the Telegraph says that some monetary experts think that interest rates could rise to 7.5%. Now that could really start hurting an awful lot of people with large mortgages and other debts.

Do you find it hard to stay on top of your finances? Do you manage to pay your bills regularly and on time, in an organised fashion? Lots of people find it difficult to keep up to date with all the bills and paperwork. They end up paying late fees and bank charges that could have been avoided if they had been more organised with their money and bill payments.

A lot of these problems are caused by a cluttered house, lifestyle and probably your mind. I have suffered from this myself. Paperwork builds up. Things get lost and forgotten. There are receipts, invoices, bills and bank statements all in heaps or even scattered around the house in various different places. We know we should sort it all out but it seems such a daunting task that we try to forget it and put it all off for another day.

There is a saying that we use fewer face muscles to smile than you do to frown. It’s a similar situation with your paperwork and your lifestyle. It takes far more effort to deal with things when you are disorganised. It is more difficult to keep your finances under control and it is a lot more depressing to run your life in this way.

You might spend a whole weekend bothered that you really should be sorting your finances but you put it off thinking you would rather enjoy your weekend but, you don’t, because you can’t. You instead spend your time feeling guilty about not doing it and depressed because you know you still have to do it at some time. It’s not the happiest way to lead your life is it. If you had spent perhaps an hour getting that bill sorted, paid and posted or even paid online saving the price of a stamp, you could relax and really enjoy your weekend having some fun with a happy state of mind and a clear conscience.
