Spain still most popular for Brits
A study of UK internet user searches (May 2008) has shown that Spain tops the 101 most popular overseas property destinations searched for on the internet, with the region of Murcia on the Costa Calida in the top ten.
Ashley Rigg, director of Globaledge.co.uk, said: "An amazing 11 out of the 20 most popular overseas searches in the last 90 days were for Spain or for Spanish towns and regions. Despite the media gloom surrounding the Spanish housing market, there is still considerable demand from Brits for property in Spain and the lifestyle that goes with it."

Why Spain?
Most popular destination for Brits, popular holiday destination, established market, finance available, political and economic stability, foreign ownership possible: low risk.
The Spanish housing market is suffering bad press - as is the UK - but, in our opinion, bad press is good news. It stops people rushing head-on into bad investments, makes novice investors think twice; this is a good thing as buying a property, especially an investment property, should be based on the property's investment potential and appropriate research and due diligence should always be undertaken.
Some areas of Spain are, as in the UK, experiencing a property price correction. Other areas, Murcia on the Costa Calida for example, are thriving.
Regardless, Spain is still the most popular destination for Brits (and other nationalities) either as a destination for buying a property or for a holiday; it is warm, within 2-3hours from most UK airports, and has relaxed pace of life. This makes is a great location for investing in property - where there are tourists and holiday-makers there is a need for places to stay, ie rooms to rent. In effect, the investor who is buying a property in Spain, and in other tourist destinations, is 'investing in tourism'.
France, second most popular
In the same study, France was the second most popular search location, with the most popular regions being Brittany followed by the French Alps, Dordogne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Charente and the ski resorts of Chamonix, Courchevel and Meribel. As with Spain, France is a low risk country for property investment.
French 'Leaseback' Properties
French 'Leaseback' Properties make very attractive, tax efficient property investments (video) with long-term, index-linked, guaranteed rentals and no voids. You and your family can also use the property for holiday each year*. French leasebacks (loué meublé non-professionel - LMNP) were introduced by the French government, in the early 1980’s, to encourage tourism by increasing the quantity of holiday accommodation available.
How does it work?
- You buy a freehold property as a buy-to-let investment - perhaps on a golf course in Southern Normandy, a winter sports resort in Les Hauts de Seignus, a 3* tourist resort in Provence or a vineyard in the heart of Mediterranean Languedoc (prices from £70,000)
- The French Government rebate the 19.6% VAT
- You 'lease back’ the property to a pre-selected property management company for a fixed term, usually 9-11 years (18years possible).
- The management company furnishes and lets the property, providing a guaranteed rental income.
* if you choose not to use the property for personal use then the property can possibly be placed in a SIPP, making it an even more tax efficient investment.
Need more information?
Inspection trips to view the chosen location are highly recommended and we can help you organise this. You can be assured that we don't force sales on you and that the decision to proceed is entirely yours - when the property investment opportunity 'feels' right for you then, and only then, do we proceed with your instruction. We can then guide you through the process and our associates can help with all aspects of the purchase, such as legals, furnishings and rentals, if required making investments through us hassle free.
