While the UK is now in the process of leaving the European Union, a new piece of research suggests that British people are still interested in buying abroad, particularly in Spain.
Brexit is not putting off those who want a dream home in countries like France, Spain and Italy which have always been popular with British buyers, according to a survey from legal firm Spanish Legal Reclaims.
Some 55% of those who are considering buying a home abroad say Brexit will have no impact on their decision to buy. In fact, 10% of those surveyed said they were actually more likely to buy in Europe now that Britain has decided to leave the EU.
Spain remains the most popular choice for Brits looking to buy abroad, with 45% saying it was their first choice, followed by 37% putting France first and 20% putting Italy as the top of their wish list.
‘It’s not surprising to hear that Spain remains the favourite destination for British people who want to buy property in Europe. It continues to deliver on lifestyle, property prices and climate,’ said the firm’s chief executive Luis Cuervo.
