"Whilst the rise of the euro has made properties in Spain and the cost of living more expensive, it is still good value when compared with prices at home. Prices of property have begun to stagnate recently, which is good news for buyers of Spanish property; sellers discount their asking prices to secure a sale. As a lifestyle location Spain is hard to beat in terms of climate and amenities, and there are countless low cost flight options from all over the UK. Properties in Spain still offer long term appeal as holiday, retirement, and investment property." - Homes Overseas magazine." - May, 2009 AUSTRALIA?
