We will have some very exciting news for you in January, a fabulous addition to our service so watch this space... plus look out for our January Sales feature, but for now we would like to reflect on an amazing 2013.
We have had our best year to date selling a record number of properties. We have taken on an additional 14 new members of staff and the team goes from strength to strength. We have won two top awards for our website including the Best Real Estate Website in Europe but most importantly of all we have received some heartwarming testimonials and comments from our clients a lot of whom have now become good friends with the staff they worked with.
Another year has past and we are now at the end of the fifth year of the financial crisis. Over the past 12 months financial stability in the Euro zone has improved, as was to be expected. Economic activity has picked up in most European economies and we witnessed an improvement in business and consumer confidence. There are more signals that the European debt crisis is fading, just watch the steady decline in 10 year government bond yields in countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy. The price of gold (a safe haven in times of uncertainty) has fallen in price by almost 30 percent over the same period.
We are starting to hear more positive news for economic growth, not only in the UK, but also in other areas of the world. Therefore, this could be a good time to consider investing in an overseas property, but where would be a good place to consider?
