Overseas property popular in British Isles

Many internet users in the UK and Ireland are expressing interest in purchasing a foreign property, new data has revealed.

Figures from Google Trends showed that in the last year, most of the people who have searched online for information on buying abroad hailed from the British Isles, Global Edge reports.

Statistics indicated that consumers in the UK and Ireland were more interested in buying an investment property in Italy, Spain, France and Portugal than people in any other country.

In addition, a list of where most online searches originated from showed that people from the British Isles were in the top five for every country except Egypt and Poland.

Commenting on the findings, Global Edge remarked: "They may not be buying as much as this time last year but they still account for a large percentage of the market."

According to figures from Datamonitor, British and Irish citizens currently own more than 3.8 million foreign properties.
