Bristol SUNSET BEACH: Housing rehabilitation in Fuerteventura
Bristol Sunset Beach is our biggest and latest success for investors, a clear example of housing rehabilitation in Fuerteventura with high returns.
The complex was initially a bank repossession asset in very poor condition: rubble, no swimming pool, unusable roofs, poor housing distribution and even with a significant percentage of occupied dwellings.
After two years of construction, the first two blocks are proposed for sale to investors and vacation home buyers. Some of our investors have achieved not only annual returns, but also a five-fold increase in the value of their investment through the appreciation of the property.
With the money raised, work was completed on blocks 1, 2 and 3 (these blocks are still owned by Destiny) as well as on the common areas and roofs. The sale of these last three blocks was made through a mandatory tourist management mandate: the buyer has to make 100% of the apartments profitable as vacation homes, while we maintain the management of all the properties.
Vacation rental management
At Destiny Home we are responsible for the management of the Bristol SUNSET BEACH vacation rental. With the objective of improving the profitability and maximizing the income of our clients’ vacation rentals, Destiny Home takes care of the cleaning of the property, the management of reservations, departures, arrivals, attention to incidents and communication with guests. All this to achieve the maximum satisfaction of our visitors, something that allows us to maintain a high occupancy rate throughout the year.
To date, we can affirm that, although the profitability of these apartments varies depending on the investment made in each one of them and the annual income from tourist management, the average profitability ranges between 22,000 and 25,000 euros per year.
