We have reason to be grateful to the strengthening pound vs the euro! This means that Spain has become 8 per cent cheaper for Brits to buy property over the last twelve months. Over the same period it is reported that searches for Spanish property have risen by 48 per cent and 341 per cent since December 2008. Ann Wright from Primelocation.com says: “Interest in overseas property has shot up in recent months. With the green shoots of recovery evident in the recovery in the UK property market and economy and the resulting upturn in consumer confidence this appears to have resulted in a knock-on effect on the overseas market.” The National Association of Estate Agents International recently advised that buyers who would like to invest in Spanish real estate should buy in the early part of 2010 suggesting that prices are hitting bottom and buyers need to act now to snap up the bargain key ready villas and apartments on the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and Costa Calida.
