Where to buy 2009 - Spain

A recent survey by Global Edge has shown that Spain remains the most popular search for people looking for property abroad. Indeed the survey indicates that Spain is more than TWICE as popular with English speaking home seekers than France, the next most popula destination.

The study, published in December 2008, obtained data from Google searches in English and saw that Spain commanded more than 27% of the property search criteria.

So, although the Financial Times has been trying to compare Spain to Latvia we at Amazing Resorts know that the discerning property hunter wants to buy in Spain.

Let's go over some of the reasons for buying in Spain:

  • 300 days of sunshine: Let's never forget that although we love our British climate we much prefer everyone elses!
  • Affordable communications: It's so cheap to get to Spain and there are so many options. Every single UK airport serves Malaga airport for the Costa del Sol and Alicante for the Costa Blanca.
  • House prices have dropped and allowed more people than ever to buy in this desireable market
  • It's CLOSE. Let's face it, you're not going to spend a weekend in Dubai or Thailand. They are for the week long holds. Spain is still perfect for the Firday to Sunday getaway.
  • Sangria (We had to mention the drinking, so this seemed the least offensive! Olé)
  • 800,000 Brits have already bought there. They must know something. This gives you the ability to access all of the familiar aspects of UK culture, food, drink and companionship.
  • The true Spain is still there for those that wish to immerse themselves in the Spanish culture.
  • As we have mentioned previously, the slowing of the market has led to bargains and opportunities emerging for buyers to really get something spectacular

The list goes on.

See you in Spain?!
