Which Country Abroad ?

[Dave H]

They say 74% of first time buyers in the UK are seriously considering buying abroad (Sky News website 18 July 08). Which country?
I bought and live in Spain and I would advocate it any time.
From the southern Costa Blanca I am 40 mins to Alicante airport and 15 mins to Murcia. The flights to Manchester (my home region) are plentiful and with some care can be picked up at very cheap prices. Flights to almost every other airport in the UK are avaialble 365 days a year.
With the internet and telephone communications (free calls to UK landlines 24/7 365 days a year) I don't need to be in the UK to operate my business.
Other european countries may have some advantages over Spain but all in all Spain is and will continue to be number 1 destination.

I have just come back from Calabria in southern Italy. We bought a hoiliday home there last year. Ryan air fly to Lamenzia and there seems to be more and more people looking to purchase property in southern Italy. We bought in Gerace, a small medieval city on the Ionian coast. We meet two other british couples during our visit, I think with the adverse weather and economic slowdown, more and more people will look to move abroad.

Has anyone else bought in Calabria? Would love to hear from anyone who has

I am spanish from a town in the north of Spain, Valladolid. I moved to Marbella 3 years ago and for me it is perfect!!! Where I live is as cold as london, so it was a big change.

Now also you can get very good bargains so it is a perfect place to buy and the flight are really often (we even need to expand the airport!).

Well, wherever you decide, enjoy it!

I would love to buy in Cyprus or Tenerife but that would be for myself rather than as an investment.

Only problem with Tenerife is if the volcano erupts!!

My father has been living in Malaga for 7 years and he wouldn't change it for anything in the world. just always make sure that if you want to purchase abroad that it is *naturally* a sound investment.

I would strongly reccomend Egypt as the place to buy i have lived and worked here now for a year and a half and its my very own paradise on earth.

Without any hesitation : MONTENEGRO !!!
The future Monaco of the Balkans.

In 2 years time, once Porto Montenegro is in place, it will definitly be the new Monte Carlo of the Mediterranean.

Bulgaria is the paradise of the Balkans.
