Spanish property still at the top

April 21, 2009

A new study shows that homes in Spain top the list of the 101 most popular overseas property destinations searched for on the internet - not a surprise to those who know the reality behind the many downbeat newspapers stories currently circulating.

The study looked at which countries UK internet users search for, and Spain came in at number one, with the region of Murcia itself in the top ten.

The research, from Globaledge.co.uk, analyses 200,000 property related searches over the last 100 days and groups them into specific locations.

Ashley Rigg, director of Globaledge.co.uk, said: "An amazing 11 out of the 20 most popular overseas searches in the last 90 days were for Spain or for Spanish towns and regions. Despite the media gloom surrounding the Spanish housing market, there is still considerable demand from Brits for property in Spain and the lifestyle that goes with it."
