Spain is one of the most popular destinations for overseas property buyers, according to experts.

Barclays stated that consumers were increasingly showing interest in entering the Spanish market, while Italy was also named as a highly sought-after destination.

The firm highlighted many of the benefits of owning property in these countries, such as using it as a holiday home and lending it out to friends and relatives.

Research by Barclays found that two-fifths of Britons had taken a holiday at a flat or house abroad that was owned by someone they knew.

Brits are realising the savings that can be made on holidays by purchasing property abroad such as flats or houses.

The overseas property market was "flourishing" and that buying abroad was now "easier than ever before".

Earlier this month, author and real estate expert Brittney Jackline said the Spanish property market was "booming" and experiencing very high demand from overseas investors.

Cheers mates! Take it easy.
