Spain Still One of our Favourite Places in the Sun
Spain is still of the favourite countries for British looking for their own place in the sun, according to data released by currency specialists HIFX.
Along with France, Spain remains the "first choice for British buyers looking for a holiday home or retirement home," said Mark Bodega of HIFX.
HIFXs data shows that enquiries for France and Spain from October to November rose from 25 to 28 per cent and 24 to 27 per cent respectively.
Despite recent favourable exchange rates for the dollar, the latest figures show a drop in enquiries for US properties.
Following French and Spanish properties, the next largest number of enquiries was for Bulgarian property (11 per cent), followed by Cape Verde property (eight per cent).
