Greetings!    
 
It has been a while since we last sent you our Newsletter, and we are pleased to say that it is because we have actually been quite busy for so early in the season.
 
Although the market is still tough, over
the last few weeks we have seen a considerable increase in "traffic" of " would be" buyers from both the UK and from Europe in general. Buyers are understandably cautious on prices and we as Real Estate brokers are having to definitely earn our keep!
 
Read below to see what else we have been up to since our last Newsletter in December.
 
The comments written here are very simply Michael Cunnington's understanding of the matters mentioned and in no way should be taken as an official view - any comments from readers will be welcomed.
PRESS COVERAGE IN DAILY TELEGRAPH - Mallorca still a favourite
 
Another mention in the UK press is always an advantage for us and the Saturday Telegraph's article by Graham Norwood, a serious property journalist, included MJC Associates and a photo of one of our properties for sale (click image to read article):

POLITICS !!!!!!!!!

  

Here in Mallorca the minority government PSOE (Socialists) and two other parties, UM (Union Mallorquina ) and BLOC (another minority group) who did not win as many seats as PP (Conservatives), scrambled a coalition together to form the local government after the last elections in May 2007. Now Maria Antonia Munar, the President of UM and of the Balearic Parliament has resigned along with several others from UM, who have been kicked out of government as various corrupt activities are being investigated.

 

Possible early elections are expected, but meanwhile if you are bored with politics - just bear in mind Ronald Reagan's comments:

 

"I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting."

                                                                     Ronald Reagan

SAVILLS SUPERBRAND

 
Savills LogoSavills has been ranked the best Business Superbrand in the Real Estate advisory sector for the fourth consecutive year.

Business Superbrands has been established for eight years and commissions independent research to identify the UK's leading brands.
 

The survey, conducted by YouGov for Business Brands, is scored by a panel of over 1,500 business professionals. It placed Savills in first place with Knight Frank second.

 

Jeremy Helsby, CEO of Savills, says: "Superbrand businesses represent quality, reliability and distinction, and as top in our category we are extremely proud to have achieved this recognition for the fourth consecutive year."

PALMA CATHEDRAL - BIANNUAL SPECTACLE
 
On the 2nd of February and the 11th of November each year at approximately 8.45 am, the sun projects from the main eastern Window Rose, all the way to below the western Window Rose. Fascinating to watch as the projected image appears from the left hand side and moves right across.

MORTGAGES

 

The banks continue to be reluctant to lend although we now have access to various international banks - including some from the Far East who are willing to lend to non-resident buyers and to existing owners who wish to re-mortgage their Mallorcan property. In addition there are currency options on these loans which add appeal.

 

MJC Associates has recently linked up with a firm of independent mortgage consultants in order to provide a full range of mortgage services to our clients.

 

Mallorca Mortgage Consultancy has access to all of the lenders operating in Mallorca. Funds are available for new purchases, and also for remortgages - clients may wish to improve on current mortgage terms, raise capital or consider inheritance tax planning.

OFFICE MOVE FOR MJC ASSOCIATES S.L.

 

Although our profile is discreet and intentionally without a "shop window" we have been tucked away on the 5th floor of an attractive building in the centre of Palma for the last four years.

 

We have now moved to new premises in the same building as the British Consulate. Incidentally many British residents (including two other well known estate agents !) still think the Consulate is located near to Plaza Mayor whereas it moved ages ago. See map - and if you wish to visit us we suggest you park in the underground parking in Plaza del Comte Roselló, Aparcamiento Mallorquines, and then phone us if you are not sure how to reach us!
