The Association of Portuguese Resort reports a wave of new enquiries for properties in the Algarve from all over the world. The APR’s latest data found that the highest of enquires came from neighbouring Spain, followed by those from the UK and Ireland. Out of the UK enquires, 36% came from people living in London. These findings are backed by an Adecco and YouGov survey that found that 40% of Londoners said they would be open to leaving the UK and working elsewhere in Europe.
London is also the third city to generate the most enquiries globally, after Madrid and Rio de Janeiro. Fourth on the list is New York, showing that people from big cities all over the world are looking for a move to Portugal’s sun-drenched southern coast.
The APR’s findings also reveal insights into the potential buyers’ priorities. Across all markets, the main reason for enquiring was in relation to a primary residence, with this accounting for 43% of leads. Many others were interesting in finding a holiday home in Portugal. Overall, it was the desire for a fundamental change of location and lifestyle that’s behind the majority of enquires.
