In news that may interest those thinking of buying Costa del Sol property, it has been stated that Spain remains the leading destination of choice for British buyers of overseas property.

Commenting on the market in the country, which includes the Costa del Sol property scene, overseas property firm Buy Association has said it offers "some of the best deals in the international real estate market at the moment".

It also stated that Britons remain committed to buying despite the credit crunch.

Among the bargains it quoted was a Costa del Sol property at Estapona that is for sale at £163,078, compared to its bank valuation of £290,310.

Earlier this month Spanish Property Insight suggested house price falls in the region have been greater than official government figures indicate, meaning there are more bargains to be had than such data would indicate.
