Demand for holiday rental properties in Spain remains strong

People wanting to buy a property abroad to rent out may be interested by the announcement that demand for rental properties in Spain is strong.

It remains the most popular place to rent a home overseas, according to Holidaylettings.co.uk.

The second most popular destination was revealed as France, with property in Portugal and Italy next in line.

The consumer trend analyses have also revealed that there has been a surge in demand for last minute bookings.

This has led to the greatest increase in rental demand for holiday homes in Malta.

"Second homeowners savvy to the appeal of their home to paying guests will do particularly well in these destinations this summer. Short haul sunshine is in high demand alongside value for money accommodation and last minute availability," Ross Elder, managing director of holidaylettings.co.uk, told A Place in the Sun.

Writing on the Telegraph's website, journalist Graham Norwood said that Spanish cities are ripe for second home-buyers.
