Although the European property market has taken a bit of a hit in the last couple of years, the decrease in prices in many countries, added to the fact that property in some European countries are still genuinely low anyway, means that if you are looking for a holiday or investment home, you should be able to find something that meets your budget.
Whether you work in cosmetic dentistry at Harley Street dental studio earning hundreds of thousands of pounds per year or if you are a teacher or nurse with a more modest budget, a few hours well spent on the internet will show you what sort of properties are available in your price range.
Some countries, such as Bulgaria, Croatia and Turkey are still very inexpensive compared to other countries such as France and Spain. You can expect to find an apartment on a good resort for around fifty or sixty thousand pounds and a villa for just over one hundred thousand. Not bad when you compare it to prices at home!
Even the countries where the property market is more developed have been hit by the economic crisis. Although parts of France have stayed relatively stable, Spain has been hard hit and you can easily find bargains on distressed apartments and villas. If you are prepared to go outside the major tourist centres you can find even more of a bargain.
