Mercers, leading Spanish property specialist, is bringing 'real Spain' to the UK and Ireland by introducing a fabulous collection of two bedroom maisonettes and detached villas at the Casa Alta Country Club in Caravaca de la Cruz, Costa Calida, Spain along with its collection of authentic Spanish properties on the Costa de la Luz.

For UK buyers who are keen to buy in relatively hidden areas of Spain, Mercers is launching Casa Alta Country Club, a secure residential estate located in the green and historic area of Caravaca de la Cruz, just 45 minutes from Murcia. At the centre of the residential area will be two lakes and an existing grand mansion which will be converted into a small hotel and restaurant.

Chris Mercer, Managing Director of Mercers and with 24 years of local expertise in Spanish property, comments: “The Spanish have been buying holiday homes on the Costa Calida and Costa de la Luz for generations and people who come to these areas are looking for something different. We only sell in areas which offer the delights of real Spain but also represent excellent value and a sound investment. In addition to the Costa Calida we are offering some exciting new projects in the city centre of Jerez. Since opening our offices in central Jerez earlier this year we have been inundated with requests for small townhouse apartments in the old centre. People like these areas because they don't run the risk of buying in another crowded place such as the Costa del Sol.”

Prices at Casa Alta Country Club start from only £74, 829 for a two bedroom Prado maisonette. Buyers can opt for ground floor or first floor property with a side garden and added attic room. Offering a larger space, Comenar villas are a selection of link detached two bedroom villas spread over two floors. Each property has a large lounge dining area, fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, WC, private parking space and bonus loft room of 23m2 with access onto a rooftop sun terrace. These villas start from £115,646.

The properties all have views of the green valley where residents can enjoy cycle tracks, walks parks and private gardens and communal pools. Properties will also benefit from 24 hour security, a small commercial centre and sports facilities.

Mercers' selection of projects on the Costa de la Luz start from as little as £94,557 for a lock up and leave apartment in Jerez to best value townhouses in Lebrija from £93,197 and many other splendid and carefully chosen resale properties.

Notes to editors Mercers enjoys an unrivalled reputation as a leader in the Spanish property market. Founded in 1993 by Chris Mercer, Mercers is based in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, and specialises exclusively in the Spanish market. Its properties for sale are in three beautiful yet relatively unknown parts of Spain – the Costa Calida, Costa de la Luz and inland Andalucia.

In addition to its UK base, the company has fully staffed Spanish offices in Murcia and Vejer and has recently launched a new office in Jerez – the only English speaking agent to do so. Mercers after-sales department also employs bi-lingual staff to ensure that clients buying through Mercers receive first-class customer service.

Mercers takes pride in a low-key sales approach, organising three to four day inspection flights, with people who have bought through Mercers and now live in Spain acting as guides. Apart from visiting properties, potential buyers can then spend time on their own, exploring the region and enjoying local food and wine. People who buy have the cost of their inspection flights refunded.
