A Place in the Sun is the premier exhibition for UK second home-owners, or those seeking a holiday home overseas. Part of the process of searching out the perfect holiday home is research of the area and type of accommodation you are looking to buy, and also how to optimise your return on investment, by renting out the weeks that you do not use; Interhome provides quality solutions to both of these challenges.
The United Kingdom remains a country starved of sunshine, so it is only natural that Britains do all they can, to ensure they get at least a yearly dose by booking their holidays to guaranteed sunspots like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. This yearly migration of over 11,000,000 Brits to sunnier climes is a well-documented phenomena, so we won't explore that any further, however, over the past 20 years we have seen an increase in Brits buying overseas, and over the past 2 years alone, we have seen an increase of 20% reported by INE (National Institute of Statistics) with Spain up a significant 25%. Much of this growth has been driven by the weak Euro, and the extensive available supply.
Interhome sees this as an excellent opportunity to complement existing services within the sector by offering a quality-assured property management service, backed by over 50 years of experience. With over 33,000 properties of every shape, size and classification, we are in a great position to also offer potential buyers the chance to "try before you buy"; visit the desired resort, village or town, live like a local for a week or two in the type of accommodation that you want to buy; villa with pool, country farmhouse, city centre apartment, then do it again, and then on the back of that valuable experience they are better placed to take a decision.
Not only will they find the perfect holiday house in a place they love, but it will also save them money in the long run, and they will be able to generate income from the weeks they don't use, by renting out via our extensive network of distribution partners.
Marbella is the number one destination for Brits buying overseas, and Interhome has over 120 properties available rent in and around Marbella, and over 3500 across Spain, making us the ideal partner for all Brits looking for A Place in the Sun.
