Lets face it, the U.K is now one of the most expensive places to live in Europe with a high cost of living and very high property prices.

In the past 10 years or so, Brits have been heading for sunny Spain to invest in property or to make a complete lifestyle change. This has sent the Spanish housing market through the roof and your earlier expectations of what you can get for your money just simply aren't realistic. For this reason Brits are looking elsewhere and with South Africa’s beautiful climate and ideal outdoor lifestyle more and more people are heading there!

South Africa’s property potential is great, if you choose the right location you can make a fantastic holiday home that you can let out, which is a fantastic idea with the thousands of football fans expected to visit the country for the 2010 FIFA World Cup! Also where else would you be able to buy a beautiful 3-4 bedroom house with a swimming pool for the same price as a 1 bedroom flat in London!
