According to Lloyds TSB International, if people make good decisions about where to buy and how to finance their purchase they can make a healthy profit from property abroad.

"With the help of extensive research it is possible to identify foreign property markets which are about to take off. For instance, areas which are close to planned new airports or high-speed rail links often see a sustained rise in house prices," the bank stated.

"Buying in the right areas at the right time can allow you to make healthy profits from capital appreciation and rising rents in just a few years."

However, the bank warned that investing in property abroad can be affected by factors such as economic events and exchange range fluctuations, meaning it is important to have a flexible exit strategy in mind.

It also advised anyone thinking of investing in property abroad to consult an independent local lawyer as it is important to follow all regulations carefully.

Last week, financial commentator Katerina Nikolas wrote an article for Helium advising property investors to look at repossessed and distressed properties in Spain, which can be picked up for a bargain price.

Writing for the Global Property Guide blog, realtor Aydin Cakir said that Turkey never really became as popular as it could have been with property buyers, who looked to EU nations in the boom years, however, this is all set to change.

According to Mr Cakir, one real draw for people hoping to buy real estate in Mugla or invest in Antalya real estate listings, is the liquidity in the Turkish banking system which helps boost mortgage availability and affordability.

The fact that Turkey is in great fiscal condition, with gross domestic product rising 11.7 per cent year-on-year over the first quarter and the nation having a budget surplus of $5.1 billion in May this year, is also good news for property investors.

"With many countries in Europe having been downgraded, many facing a downgrade, and some even having been downgraded and facing being downgraded again, Turkey is standing out," he added.

Last week, Select Resorts stated that the Turkish property market has seen significant growth in the past two years and provides a real opportunity for investors.

Writing for Helium, financial commentator Katerina Nikolas said that the Spanish property market is full of repossessed and distressed properties which can be picked up at a low price.

"Sales of distressed properties are on the rise and these represent good buys. Often the owners are stalling the banks from foreclosing and are prepared to sell at a loss rather than lose out completely. Many properties were purchased in the boom years and sit with negative equity which means that advertised prices by agents are probably open to much more downward negotiation," she added.

Ms Nikolas advised anyone looking for property in Spain to research the areas they are looking at well and avoid any black spots which have been subject to compulsory purchase orders or demolition threats.

Last month, Mark Stucklin, a real estate industry expert, told the New York Times that Spanish property prices are currently at their lowest level of the recession.

According to Costa del Villa, the improving exchange rate, England’s disappointing World Cup performance and the dismal summer weather have encouraged many people to abandon their staycation plans and head to somewhere sunny, which is good news for people renting out property on the Costa del Sol.

According to figures cited by the firm, Spain saw an 11 per cent increase in overnight guests in July this year compared with the same month in 2009.

This is an encouraging sign, as the number of UK residents going on holidays abroad had dipped last year due to financial worries.

Costa del Sol and other regions of Spain had their profile boosted earlier this year when first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters enjoyed a trip to the popular beach resort of Marbella.
