Buying in Spain for sunshine & lifestyle
Ninety-two percent of ex-pats living in Spain have said the weather is their top reason for leaving the UK, while eight-five percent appreciate the slower pace of living. The top four reasons for ex-pats to leave the UK are: Better weather, better quality of life, higher standard of living, lower crime rate. These findings have just been released in a survey conducted by Alliance and Leicester.As I write this in the middle of November, I'm looking out at a clear blue sky and clear blue Mar Menor sea, having enjoyed a day where the temperature reached around 21 degrees....and I whole heartedly agree with the survey results. Despite all the apparent doom and gloom surrounding property in Spain the glorious weather and the excellent quality of life here has not changed. With some excellent value properties now available, if you are in a position to buy, now really is the time to get your foot on the ladder. In Murcia prices have always been much lower than the national average and the landscape and culture here remain unspoilt - come and see for yourself soon.Survey results at Alliance & Leicester website
