Spain 'still popular' among British buyers

Spain remains one of the most popular nations among Brits looking for a property abroad, new research has revealed.

Overseas mortgage specialist Conti registered a seven per cent rise in enquiries about Spanish real estate during August, compared to the same month in the previous year, with the country accounting for 31 per cent of all queries received by the company.

France was the only nation to garner more interest from Brits seeking a home abroad.

Clare Nessling, operations director at Conti, commented: "Spain is definitely making a comeback, experiencing a particularly busy August."

She added that this may be because those returning from summer holidays in the country have been inspired to seek out their own home away from home.

Developer Taylor Wimpey de Espana announced earlier this month that it has experienced a significant increase in interest from international buyers relating to property in Spain.

In fact, the company recorded 70 per cent more enquiries about real estate in the nation during the first half of the year, compared to the same six-month period in 2010.
