What a luxury home builder can offer in this new pace of life

An interview with Atlas Group Marbella.

Luxury property continues to be in demand, despite the challenges this year has brought. There is plenty of evidence that the real estate market continues to move positively in Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol area, with properties of several million euros in high demand.

With the weeks in lockdown, many may have considered the move or to renovate their existing property to enjoy a greater comfort, after the long period at home.

With people continuing to invest in Marbella property, our interview with Atlas Group Marbella tells us what you should look for in a home builder and what people are seeking in this new pace of life.

What properties have you been constructing this year?

“Atlas Group has seen an increase in demand for a new build home or to renovate a property over the three-million-euro mark.”

“Atlas has seen an increase in developers seeking multiple projects, for example we have a project of three luxury villas in El Madroñal and another three in Los Flamingos, which shows that there is demand and positive movement in the real estate market.”

“Clients and property developers alike are building with all the luxury amenities, such as a cinema room and entertainment facilities, home spas, private swimming pools and high-quality home automation and security systems.”

What are people seeking in a home, since this period of lockdown?

“The period of lockdown perhaps fuelled people’s desires to have perfection in their home, and by this we mean the best quality appliances in the kitchen, technology that provides practical solutions for home security, lighting and more….”

“There is also demand for solutions in support of a lifestyle; a dedicated place to run a business from home, guest or staff quarters and home gyms are also more and more popular.”

How can a home builder provide these solutions and what should someone look for when seeking a construction company?

“For those looking for a construction company to build a luxury property here in the Marbella area, it is vital that you seek a company with a reliable track record and dedication to high standards. Check their portfolio of completed projects, so that you can be sure projects were finished and to high standards. Any reliable company will offer to show you their finished properties so that you can get a feel of the quality and workmanship.”

What do you think people will look for in a luxury property, in the coming year?

“People will continue to look for a quality build, one that stands the test of time and with the advances in green technology and Passive Houses, people will become more aware of how their home can be both cost efficient to run and environmentally friendly.”

“Properties that are “move-in ready” will continue to be in demand – homes that are completed with beautiful interior design, the swimming pool ready to jump into and a manicured garden so that all the new homeowner needs to do is arrive with a suitcase.”
