Confidence high as buyers urged to invest before prices rise
Victor Sague of Taylor Wimpey Spain said: ââ¬ÅConfidence in the halls of Government and the Bank of Spain is being echoed by many British buyers who are aware that the market for prime property has bottomed out. Although there is still a degree of caution in a purchase of such a scale, those who have sat on the fence for the last couple of years are now keen to push ahead with their home buys in order to make the most of the reduced prices.ââ¬Â
Property prices already rising in some areas

Mr Zapatero told the news service: \"Over the last two or three months, we\'ve seen that [house prices] not only have not fallen but have even risen in some areas of Spain where people are buying their first home.ââ¬Â
