Election Effects on Currency: A Case Study for UK Buyers 🇬🇧 Following the recent elections in the #UK, the British Pound has strengthened against other major currencies in the past week as the landslide win of the Labour Party provides optimism toward policy stability for the country. In contrast to the French election, the UK election has instilled confidence in the #markets, with the British pound rising to a near one-month high against the USD. So how do #elections impact currency values, and what does it mean for UK buyers? In my latest video, I delved into the effects of elections on #currency fluctuations and provided valuable #insights for buyers navigating the UK market. Don't miss this deep dive into the intersection of #politics and #finance. If you are interested in knowing more about it, book a consultation with myself or anyone in my team who can guide you in your real estate journey in Spain.

This week our Barcelona Office Director, Mohammad H Butt was quoted in The Telegraph UK in an article which was based around a hot topic at the moment – Tourism in Spain and Airbnb Following the recent announcement by the mayor of Barcelona that between 2028 - 2029 there will be no more tourist apartments in the city, there are some aspects to keep in mind. It will be challenging to make this happen for several reasons: 1. The current supply levels of #hotel rooms in #Barcelona are insufficient to cater for the millions of visitors that the city receives on an annual basis. 2. The local government would need to deploy vast resources to track and penalise those continuing to rent their apartments for short term post 2029. 3. Cities that have applied similar policies have seen a sharp increase in hotel prices, thus making it less attractive an affordable to tourist who bring a high level of annual income to the city. “I'm sceptical of this announcement, and I truly believe that local governments should listen and collaborate with all market players to find common ground. Barcelona is globally recognized as one of the most beautiful cities, and banning tourism will heavily impact economic growth”, says Mo.
