November 20, 2007 - From holiday homes in Spain, to luxurious penthouse apartments in Dubai - there isn’t a place in the world that has escaped the British invasion.
Now, one of the top destinations to buy is the up and coming region of Calabria, in southern Italy.
Where once upon a time, Italy was associated with the rich and the beautiful as a place to buy, it had priced the average punter like us out of the market.
Tuscany has some of the highest prices in Southern Europe. And as for the Amalfi coast . . .forget it!
But, in Southern Italy all that is about to change. Or should we say, is already changing. Calabria, is the region that we associate with the boot of Italy. It has temperatures and coastline to match Spain, and property prices start from just £40,000 for a one bedroom apartment - frontline beach!!
"We've seen a dramatic increase in clients purchasing homes in Italy", said Terry Simons, Managing Director of TDS Homes International. "It seems more and more people are looking for better value when they buy abroad", he continued.
Now, Ryanair have opened their doors and from London Stansted, you can fly right into Lamezia at the heart of the region. Within the next few months, flights from Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester will also fly direct.
The properties are all fantastic new developments, and as Italy is a member of the E.U, it’s always a safer bet than the likes of Bulgaria and Cyprus for overall investment.
Indeed as for investment, Calabria is the hottest place to buy. Prices are low, airlines are flying direct and the weather is all round sunny like Spain.
Finally, Calabria has some of the best scenery in Italy, and whilst you lay on the beach, you gaze up at the snow capped mountains in the far distance.
