Property bargains in Spain most popular

Another nice article for those of us involved in Spanish real estate, and well, if they’re going to write it, I’m obviously going to blog about it.

The Daily Telegraph picked up on the stat that 8 out of 10 Britons looking for a holiday home abroad are interested in those countries worst hit by the recession. And in their analysis by a long way Spain is the most popular.

Plenty of other comments and quotes to back up their position, but all of this has its own downside, we ourselves wouldn’t be happy seeing all manner of hype and urgency reports in the British press spreading to our market once more.

We saw too many fly by night, here today gone tomorrow types, looking for a quick market kill in yesteryear, and we don’t want to see them here again. It is a fact that the British media should take its fair share of blame and shame for a considerable amount of ‘fanning the flames’ in building up our market over years, only to then shoot it down.

The article is good news. If it has you excited to come and take a look, then fine, our advice would be, just don’t leave your brain on the plane. It is potentially a great time to buy indeed, but you have to buy right, which should be from somebody with a lot of experience and who has a long history of support and involvement with previous clients.

There… you have to make a pitch now and again, especially if people need to be steered in the right direction, otherwise articles like this one from the Telegraph can actually do more harm than good.
