Searches & Enquiries up for Greece Property - Portal

March 9, 2009 - PRLog -- The increase is likely due to people looking to take the credit crunch as an opportunity and get a bargain holiday home in the country, according to Julie Liddle, a market trends analyst with the firm, she said:

"The number of searches for Greece property has been increasing steadily since mid-January, and it is now one of the most searched for countries we cover. I put this down to people looking for a bargain holiday home, but the fact that many of the searchers end up enquiring about bargain properties in need of renovation, shows that a large percentage of them are potential holiday home investors”.

"We have started a monthly survey which we will be sending to those who have advertised, and currently are advertising properties with Property-Abroad.com Ltd, in an attempt to find out how many serious enquiries there are for the various markets we cover, and how many are just enquiring on a whim, and hopefully also to find out what properties are selling for compared to the prices they are advertised at. We will be revealing these findings on a monthly basis."

Property Abroad is currently listing some properties that are ideal for the new age property developing investor; i.e. properties that are being sold at very low prices because they are in need of renovation work.

A perfect example of this type of opportunity is the country house on the outskirts of Crete, being sold for around the £20k mark. The property is in an excellent location, and has scope to become a 2 or even a 3 bedroom house. Renovation costs will be far less than they would be in the UK, "it could be done up, and be an absolutely beautiful 2 or 3 bedroom house for about £32, 000," said Les Calvert, Property Abroad director.

Property Abroad have hundreds of properties in Greece, find out more by visiting the site.
