Property seekers head down under
(22 February 2006)
Australia is creeping steadily up the chart of countries in which Brits would like to buy homes, with the public seemingly becoming more and more imaginative in its choices of second property.
Data from HIFX, the currency specialist, shows that the winter prompted a tripling in enquiries about setting roots down under, with old favourites France and Spain – which still hold a growingly tenuous grasp on the market – seeing interest decrease slightly.
People are looking to spread their wings yet further, as HIFX director Alex Wright explained.
He said: "Last month we reported on the recent interest in buying property in Dubai. This month we have seen a lot of interest even further a field, notably in Australia and New Zealand.
"Although France and Spain do still have solid sales volumes, interest has shifted as British consumers want to travel beyond the traditional European borders."
Less-conventional European places such as Bulgaria and Cyprus also rank highly in terms of current demand.
If you're looking to escape the winter gloom – be it in order to suss out a property investment in sunnier climes or simply for a holiday – a payday loan can help you to fund your imminent trip.
A sum of between £80 and £1,000 should be able to fund you a flight just about anywhere, and you might come back licking your lips in anticipation of sealing the property bargain of a lifetime.
