Five Reasons why buying a Penthouse is a sound investment.

So, why choose to buy a Penthouse?

The story goes that the higher up in an apartment block you lived the less money you had, or at least that was the case almost a century ago.  The Penthouse was actually often used as a communal laundry room or as housing for the poorer maids. Living conditions were damp and cold, there were no lifts.  In fact, historically these top floor apartments, almost touching the sky, were the not considered worthy homes. 

Of course, a lot has changed over the past 100 years.  Most buildings now have lifts installed; the top floor has become accessible to all.

Over the decades, rooftop-living has seen a dramatic shift in popularity.  The average penthouse is valued at 20 to 30 % more than other apartments in the same building.  They offer space, light, spectacular views and a feeling like no other to live so close to the sky yet have all the amenities you could ever need outside your front door.

Palma is a year-round prized destination; it is within easy reach of some of the islands most beautiful beaches and stunning mountain scenery.  The warm Mediterranean climate means more than 300 days of sunshine. The penthouse with its rooftop terrace is the perfect place to enjoy a city lifestyle. 

The city of Palma de Mallorca is charming and traditional, the distinctive and spectacular architecture of the city centre offers an exceptional array of penthouses combining style and elegance with first class urban living.  Never more than a short stroll from the waterfront, the historic city, cobbled stones, tree lined avenues and flower filled terraces offer the city dweller a delicate blend of culture, museums, galleries, first class shopping and decadent cuisine, making it ever so popular with tourists and locals alike. 

As most of the penthouse properties are found in the old quarter and city centre, they are in sought-after locations.  New developments offer loft style urban living with contemporary architecture and spectacular views.

Here are our 5 good reasons to choose a loft property investment.
