In a recent survey carried out, France continues to be the most popular location for a second home for buyers from the UK.

France has not seen the dramatic house price decline as in other European countries and its banks have continued to lend on second homes, thereby stimulating the market. The relative stability of this market and its ease of access from the UK mean that buyers remain confident to invest.

If you have clients looking to purchase in France speak to one of our underwriters to find out what finance options are available.

As its 2011 visitor figures soar towards a record 57 million, Spain is a country still attracting tourists and investors in their droves.

And those looking to rent out second homes are set to benefit, with the news that 80% of tourists now book their own flights and accommodation rather than relying on traditional package holidays. As a result there are huge swathes of sun worshippers looking for a place to stay.

The length of time people are spending in Spain has also risen by 2%. Stays in owned apartments or rented villas is now for an average of 15 days – twice that of hotels, driven up by higher numbers of independent travellers staying in rented accommodation along their favourite Costas. Overall, holidaymakers stay an average of 11 days and spend EUR 90 a day, with more than half going on transport, excursions and eating out. More people visited from the UK than any other country.
