SPAIN STILL POPULAR WITH BRITISH HOUSE HUNTERS

26/09/2013 00:00

NEWSDESK MILLIONS of Britons continue to dream of owning a property in Spain. According to a report released yesterday by mortgage specialists Conti, France and Spain are still the most popular countries for overseas British house hunter and property investors.

France is the top destination accounting for a 31 percent share of interest while Spain is continuing to attract interest from nearly a quarter of the market.

The strength of the Euro against the Pound has apparently been eased slightly by the fall in Spanish property prices and this is attracting real estate investors in particular.

However, just as Turkey has eaten into the Spanish and Balearic share of the British holiday market it is also nibbling away at the overseas property market as well, according to the report.
