No change at the top – and let’s just say Spain seems a lot more secure in this spot than Boris Johnson. In fact, property searches were up 27 per cent in 2021 over 2020, enquiries +34%. But the biggest surprise is that the average property enquiry price is £196,713 – up from £156,091. The top five locations are Torrevieja, Estepona, Villamartin, M...
Solid and immutable as ever – it’s France in second place. There’s been a more modest increase in property enquiries – 19 per cent – and the average spend is up a soupçon from £174,291 to £181,888. But where are you looking? Again, no real curveballs in the favoured spots here: Béziers (Languedoc), Sauzé-Vaussais (Deux-Sevres), Eymet (Dordogne), Ca...
Yes, we still have a long-running thing with Portugal - and, like France, inquiries were up 19%, year on year. But we are looking to spend more in Portugal than anywhere else in our index: £339,639, up from last year’s £301,655. It’s the Algarve favourites in the top spots again too: Lagos and nearby Praia da Luz, Cabanas de Tavira (east) and Porto...
Now some proper news – Cyprus moves up from number 6! It’s leap-frogged Italy and Greece, with inquiries up a chunky 71 per cent. Maybe its relatively easy path to residency post Brexit has played a part? Or its affordability? The average property enquiry is down from £235,538 to £221,429, and the top spots are Chloraka – just featured on our TV se...
Greece moves up one place this year, perhaps we hanker after the prospect of all those peaceful island locations and simple pleasures. Enquiries are up 44% year on year but we have a little less to spend: £223,710 rather than £255,157. The usual locations always predominate – have the Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, Apokoronas and Plakabut we are rather e...
Italy falls two places for no obvious reason, although with enquiries up 34%, it’s certainly not falling out of favour, it’s just that that the lure of the eastern Med seemed stronger in 2021. You typically had £207,051 to spend – less than last year’s £228,636. The hot spots are a wonderful mix of Italian favourites: Tuscany’s Bagni di Lucca, Pugl...
Bearing in mind we couldn’t even fly there for most of the year, Florida does pretty well to jump two places up the list (in 2020 it was pretty tough too…). That we are seeing a return of pent-up demand is without doubt: property searches were up an impressive 110% year on year. Looks like you have been saving up your US dollars too: the average se...
Just one place down in this year’s index, Turkey remains a popular location for its affordability. Enquiries were up 29%, and the average spend is £124,068, up a notch from £111,149. This goes a long way in the southwest coast resorts of Altinkum, Ovacik, Mahmutlar, Kargicak and Çalis. SEARCH FOR A PROPERTY FOR SALE IN TURKEY DOWNLOAD OUR TURKEY PR...
Also down a place, this is another hit for its affordability – the average enquiry price was £46,626, even less than last year’s £54,163. Property searches were up 31%, year on year. Interest was focused on Sveti Vlas, Veliko Tarnovo, Dryanovo, Elena and Tryavna. SEARCH FOR A PROPERTY FOR SALE IN BULGARIA More 1. Take a look at our Top 10 Places to...
Back in the game! Malta has pushed out St Lucia for our number 10 slot, possibly because of travel restrictions or a swing back to locations closer to home. Enquiries were up 27 per cent, and the budget £319,579. Interest was focused on St Paul's Bay, Mellieha, Mosta, Sliema and St Julians, all in the busy north of the island. Find A PROPERTY FOR S...
