Ciudad Quesada, Spain, Lee Juggurnauth

Lee Juggurnauth is house hunting around the southern Spanish town of Ciudad Quesada with Michelle and Mark. The couple are looking for the perfect holiday home with enough space for family visits that’s close to all the holiday amenities in the area. Working with a budget of £85,000, will any of the 5 properties Lee has lined up impress them enough to make an offer?

About the area

Nicely positioned a 15 minute drive from the beach on the Costa Blanca, Ciudad Quesada is pretty easy to get to, being just 30 or so miles from Alicante airport. Best known for its friendly expat community, great golf courses, and stunning natural surroundings, Casada has a lot to offer both holiday makers and those looking to make a permanent move.

There are lots of developments surrounding the town packed with great properties for us to view, and the weather's not too bad either with that classic Mediterranean climate — offering average summer temperatures in the high 20s and in the winter barely dipping below 15 degrees.

Compared to some of its neighbours on the southern Spanish coast, the Costa Blanca is still one of the most affordable places to buy. Studio apartments can be snapped up for as little as 30,000 pounds. Even though there's been a price increase of over 10% in the last year, this part of Spain is still one of the most popular for British holiday makers that want to make their dream a reality.
