Demand for Spanish property could be set to rise following the recent reports in the British press that interest in foriegn homes is on the increase. John Goldacre, from GoldAcre Estates in Fuerteventura, said "The 1st quarter of 2011 has seen a marked increase in the amount of interest with all the Canary Islands viewed as one of the best places for foreign property investment and this interest has been reflected in the number of sales seen through the Fuerteventura office". The reported top destinations for overseas property investors are Mainland Spain, The Canary Islands, Turkey, Brazil and Malaysia. Meanwhile, it has recently been claimed that the weakness of the Spanish property market and the chance to pick up a cheap home have ensured that Spain remains one of the most popular places for British buyers. A report by http://www.mortgagestrategy.co.uk/ has suggested that the European destinations of Spain and The Canaries remains the number one place for investors to pick up a bargain.

A new study published today by Globaledge.co.uk reveals the most searched for overseas property destinations by UK internet users. The research looks at over 200,000 property-related searches over the last 100 days from the UK Wordtracker database and groups them by by overseas property location. Spain is top of the list, accounting for over 10% of total searches, and the list is dotted with numerous Spanish towns and coastal names. Although the obvious locations of Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are the most popular regions, the popularity of the Canary Islands is the most interesting finding. There is considerable search volume even at local level with Costa Teguise (Lanzarote), Palm Mar (Tenerife), Caleta de Fuste (Fuerteventura) all making the top 101. property for sale in Caleta de Fuste and the rest of Fuerteventura can be found on the BuyIn Fuerteventura web site.
France, Bulgaria and Cyprus are next after Spain for property for sale, but perhaps the biggest surprise is Italy, which appears only at position 21. Italian regions also fair badly with only Umbra, Puglia and Le Marche making the cut. Globaledge.co.uk Director Ashley Rigg says: "In economic terms, Italy has been dubbed the sick man of Europe and buying there is incredibly complicated. It's also expensive in many regions, which is probably why Tuscany doesn't make the list at all." In the emerging real estate markets, the usual suspects of Bulgaria and Dubai both feature in the top ten and Morocco also does well, coming at number 13. Interestingly, Prague makes it into the top 20 which will come as a surprise to some. "The Czech Republic is one of the best performing economies in Central and Eastern Europe and finance is easily available. It's even possible to get 100% mortgages. News of the opportunities have obviously filtered through to the British public," says Rigg One location that hasn't been picked up by many consumers is Egypt, which only makes number 57 on the list despite "having some of the best rental yields and growth prospects in the world", according to Rigg. "It has had quite a bit of press recently but it may be the perceived political risks that are turning investors off." Methodology and Data The data was taken from the Wordtracker UK database on 6th May. Our team analysed the most popular 200,000 searches containing the word "property" over the 100 days to 6th May 2008. The phrases where grouped by location to create the list. For example, both "Property in Greece" and "Greek property for sale" are grouped under Greece.

A new blog post by Anna Nicholas on MyTelegraph infers that officials are clamping down on owners of holiday homes in Spain who fail to declare their rental earnings to the Spanish tax office (La Hacienda). MyTelegraph is a Telegraph Newspaper blog where expats share tips and tales of living abroad with other expats. The post from Nicholas argues that an estimated three billion euros is raised annually from non-disclosed holiday rentals, and that 55 per cent of property rentals are undeclared. The most concern seems to be around the areas of Madrid and Catalonia although the Balearic and Canary Islands are also under scrutiny, according to the blog. It is something that hoteliers and hotel pressure groups in the Balearics and Spain have been campaigning against for some time and the post is based mostly on information from 2007. The post argues that it has been fairly easy to avoid paying taxes on rental properties because La Hacienda has had no proper monitoring systems in place. However, the advent of more holiday homes being advertised on the internet has made the task of identification so much easier for the tax officers. In Majorca the holiday rental community has apparently been thrown into panic by the latest crackdown. Often expats are willing to pay tax but meet with confusion when they do attempt to declare income – due to no clear guidelines and the regional government not having a system in place to assist foreigners with rental declaration and when. But one of the comments on the post points out that the reason why many private owners do not register for tax is due to the difficulty they have in obtaining tourist licenses on their holiday homes and that any assumption that they're simply tax dodgers would be wholly unfair. The same commentator suggests the authorities should introduce a proper accommodation grading and licensing system to protect tourists and give legitimate private owners a reason to come clean on tax. Data from holidaylettings.co.uk reveals that Spain is still the most popular holiday destination for those opting for private holiday rentals. Perhaps this is little surprise given the scale of holiday apartment construction that Spain has encouraged and sold to foreign investors in recent years. It would be a shame for the authorities to fail to notice also the value these homes and their transient guests bring to the local Spanish economies.
