According to figures published by Spain’s property registrars, the number of property buyers in Spain rose significantly last year.

As the source confirms the number of Russian buyers rose 19%! By contrast the number of Brits declined 18% while Irish buyers dropped 28% on the previous year.

Overall, the number of international buyers who registered title deeds in Spain in 2010 rose 10.6% on 2009 but this did little to make up for the decline of 45.4% seen between 2008 and 2009. The property registrars’ percentage figures seem encouraging...

In 2010 there were 1378 transactions made by Russian buyers, while 2008 had 1373 transactions.
