Welcome
A well known travel company recently calculated that the average Briton spends £168,000 on holidays during their adult lifetime, taking 121 trips and forking out on average £2,784 a year. Going on these fi gures, buying an overseas property – somewhere you can go
for regular cheap breaks – seems very attractive, especially given the discounts currently available. With holiday homes in most popular destinations realistically available for £100K-£120K, it makes you wonder what you would do with that £168K if you were given it outright. Of course, with an overseas property you’ll still have travel costs plus running costs to consider, but you could cover some, if not all, of these expenses through short-term rentals. And if you were to retire to your overseas home, you’re less likely to spend money on holidays to warmer climes to escape the cold UK winters. At the recent A Place in the Sun Live exhibition in London I met readers who
were looking for holiday homes. As expected, established European destinations and Florida were in demand. But wandering around, I also spotted some more unusual places to buy and you can read about these on page 15. Other highlights in the issue include our property hunt feature where we help a reader with a budget of £45K fi nd a property in Green Spain (page 28), our guide to the best places currently to buy in Orlando (page 41) and an insight into Cappadocia, a fascinating inland region of Turkey (page 49). Enjoy the issue.
