Buying Property for the Future

A year or so ago it seemed that our TV channels were dominated by property programmes encouraging us all to invest in property. Especially seductive were those programmes enticing us to look for property overseas. There might be fewer of these programmes around these days but for many of us the dream of owning a property overseas is very much alive.
Across Europe, housing and property for the past 12-18 months has not been a benign market. Property prices have fallen dramatically and many homeowners and investors are nursing significant losses; re-possessions have risen with rising unemployment and the squeeze on incomes; and there has been a distinct shortage of buyers.

The biggest challenge for anyone looking to buy or invest in the market has been the lack of funding. However if you can raise the funds and have the time to wait, there has never been a better time to buy, especially if you are looking to buy a property in the sun.

There are signs across most markets that prices are beginning to stabilise and even growing in places like Portugal. There are bargains to be had at the moment. And remember too that southern Europe offers guaranteed sunshine and is readily accessible to the Irish and UK holiday market. If you are looking to invest in property for holiday rental income, the rental yield is pretty much guaranteed and at a better rate than keeping your money in a building society or bank.
But the wise property investor will always remember the golden rule "never buy for what it could be but for what it is". So don`t invest thinking you are going to make a quick buck, pound or euro, buy long term to ease your expectations.

And should you be looking for that place to buy in the sun, Spain and Portugal have long been favourites for investors. The property market in these countries may have been badly hit in past years with 10% falls in property prices being reported year on year in both countries with some economists and analysts predicting falls of 25%-30% from the peak. However there are signs that rate of decline is slowing and even stabilising with equity rich lifestyle buyers coming into the market.

For long term investors this is a great time to buy. Spain and Portugal will never go out of favour with sun seekers and golf lovers and with the market becoming flooded with re-possessed properties, villas are now available at 50% discount.

It is also worth pointing out that the credit crunch has led to a collapse of new developments, especially in Spain, meaning that the supply of new homes has tightened which will put upward pressure on prices.
So if you are serious about investing in the sun and are prepared to take a long term and slightly contrarian view, now is the time to act before all the best bargains disappear.

And in the event that you decide that trying to find a property for your sunshine investment seems like too much hard work, you might want to take a break in the sun rather than invest in the sun. Cyprus offers all year round sunshine and is within easy flying distance from the UK. and other European locations .

And here <a href=" http://www.sunshine.co.uk/hotels/Protaras-Hotels-770.html ">Protaras hotels</a> will give you the time and space to let you ponder your next move without depleting your cash reserves too much. So sit back and enjoy.
