London Property Specialist Highlights Mediterranean Hotspots

"From the incredible response we've received towards our properties in the Costa del Sol, Mallorca and Menorca, I would certainly say that Spanish properties are among the hottest on the market right now," explains Serge Cowan, managing director of Unique Living, the specialist property search and advisory service in international real estate.

According to the Office of National Statistics, 58,000 British citizens migrated to Spain in 2004/2005 alone, and in July 2006, long-term emigration figures for Britain reached 385,000.

"While Spain remains one of the top migration destinations, we've also had a great reaction to properties for sale in Cyprus, the French Riviera and the Algarve," says Mr. Cowan.

Unique Living has access to approximately 98% of the properties in the Costa del Sol, Mallorca, Menorca, Cyprus, the French Riviera and the Algarve, as well as access to properties before they reach the open market. With a comprehensive website detailing the latest available properties, the company keeps buyers up-to-date with the latest properties as well as helping clients find a place to match their requirements.

The general trend shows that an increasing number of people in Britain are choosing to buy property overseas. While some people are leaving to pursue a new life abroad, for others it's a case of investing in the global buy-to-let property market.

When it comes to purchasing property abroad, many people have an idea of what they are looking for and Unique Living assists clients in finding a luxury residential home to match their personal requirements. For those people who only have a vague idea of what they want, impartial advice from an independent company is an important resource.

"We recognise that not everyone has extensive knowledge of the overseas property market, that's why the team of professional property search consultants at Unique Living uses a network of Europe's leading estate agents, local contacts and experts in the buying process. So before a buyer visits one of our overseas properties, they receive an appointment confirmation with full details on the companies and English speaking representatives they will be meeting during their stay," explains Mr. Cowan.

"We work alongside buyers throughout the entire negotiation and conveyancing process and utilise our range of property-related services to deliver the very best in customer service. When buyers are viewing our overseas properties, we are constantly on hand in a support and advisory capacity."

Unique Living works directly with all the local estate agents, developers and consultants to source and collate suitable properties.

"Each of our partners is fully licensed and renowned locally for their portfolio, professionalism and high level of customer service," says Mr. Cowan.

Since forming in February 2002, London-based Unique Living has grown into one of Europe's leading independent property finders, establishing relationships with associates who have been trading for over 50 years.

As buyers investing in the overseas property market continue to search for their ideal piece of paradise, the temptation for many is to go it alone. However, this is where Unique Living can help by offering a free, unique property search service. There is no finder's fee; instead fees are taken from the agent buyers eventually purchase their property through.

"Being able to provide a free, high-quality search service is of the utmost importance to us, and being a member of the Federation of Overseas Property Developers, Agents & Consultants, means we operate to the highest standards," explains Mr. Cowan.

"We understand that buyers want impartial, expert advice without compromising on quality and we pride ourselves on meeting this need at no cost to the client."

Unique Living is a specialist property search and advisory service dealing in international real estate. The business offers luxury residential property in Europe's most desirable locations.
