UK winter could lead to more Spanish property buyers

Shorter days, a lack of sunshine and the distance until the return of summer are all driving factors behind individuals looking for property overseas.

A spokesperson for Joslin Rowe, a UK-based recruitment firm, told Shelter Offshore that the want to relocate abroad was often sparked at this time of year.

The news could lead to an increase in the number of individuals looking to Spain to fulfil their property desires, with the country boasting a better climate than the UK.

"Skilled workers are being drawn to extremely competitive overseas packages, many of which offer tax-free salaries, relocation costs and first-rate health care. These can prove very tempting to British workers, and even more so if the job is based in a country with a temperate climate," added Stephen Riley, director of IntaPeople.

Another reason which could tempt buyers to invest in the country could be the surplus of bargain distressed property which is currently available with big discounts on market values.
