Spain Property Reports from the UK

What can you say about Spain: excellent year-round weather, a superb infrastructure, plenty of sport and leisure activities (including some of Europe's finest golf courses), great food and even better drink. No wonder this is the number one destination for both holidaymakers and holiday homers - and looks set to remain that way.

Having said that, southern Spain - and the Costa del Sol in particular - are having something of a tough time at the moment; property prices are high, the papers are full of reports of agents overcharging on commission, money laundering scams and 'land grab' horror stories. Yet, the famous costas march on, because, the truth is, nowhere else in Europe can match the year-round sun and fun of Spain, or the range of holiday property available - and all just a two-and-a-half-hour budget flight from the UK.

Furthermore, Spain is a big country with many possibilities for investment; inland properties can represent excellent value, city apartments are easy to rent, and previously 'undiscovered' parts of the coast are now emerging for bargain hunters.
