Your selection should be based on positive experiences or knowledge of the area i.e. you´ve visited it before and already feel comfortable, you know some people or you already have some idea about the availability and prices of properties. We strongly recommend that you buy in an area you´re familiar with. You may wish to consider the following, when choosing an area:

 

· Property type and purchase price
· Accessibility (transport, travel time and travel expenses)
· Cost of living (small villages away from the coast are cheaper than coastal resorts)
· Local amenities (shops, schools, golf courses, transport etc)
· Climate (temperatures all year round)
· Cultural and social atmosphere
· Rental opportunities
· Selling opportunities - short/long term
