Why 2025 is the year to buy property overseas
If buying overseas has always been something you’ve planned to do “one day”, 2025 presents the perfect conditions to make that day today.
In Spain, nearly 20% of all property sales in 2024 were made by international buyers [1], making it the second-strongest year on record – just behind the post-pandemic surge of 2022. Portugal, Greece and France are also attracting sustained interest from overseas buyers, with the Financial Times recently identifying them among the top destinations for relocation and investment [2].
It’s clear that confidence among international buyers is returning, with many seeing 2025 as a practical time to explore the market – particularly as the process has become more accessible, even from a distance.

What are the benefits of attending an online property show?
Attend a virtual property show and take the first step in your buying journey
Save on travel time and costs
Attending a property show usually means arranging travel, booking hotels and taking time off – but the virtual format means you can take part from wherever you are. It’s ideal for early research or for asking questions you may not be ready to ask in person just yet.
Expert advice you can trust
Buying overseas involves more than choosing a property – there are legal, tax and financial considerations too. The event makes it easier to understand each step of the process, with sessions led by experts who specialise in helping international buyers.
Personalised, one-to-one consultations
Every buyer’s situation is different. That’s why the event offers optional one-to-one chats with property professionals who can tailor their advice to your plans. Whether you’re looking to retire, invest or find a family base abroad, you’ll have the chance to ask the questions that matter to you.
Explore dream properties virtually
You’ll also be able to view a selection of homes through guided, interactive property tours. These give you a sense of what’s available and what to expect in different locations – all without needing to travel first.
Everything in one place
The event brings together everything you need to get started in one session. From understanding local regulations to exploring mortgage options or comparing areas, it’s a practical way to gather reliable information without feeling overwhelmed.
