Pension rights, the Canary Islands offers more for your money

Canary Islands offers a better place to collect your pension.
A new survey shows that more and more Britons are choosing to leave the UK and retire abroad. Up to two thirds of higher rate tax payers plan to join the so called “Silver Flight” when they finish working.Many people are opting to purchase a home abroad sooner rather than wait for the actual retirement date and use the property for holidays and letting so reducing any mortgage costs before their pensions are due.According to the Department of Work and Pensions more than one million people already draw their pensions abroad.
In Spain more than 75,000 pensioners receive their benefits paid into their foreign accounts while enjoying the benefits of better weather, lower costs and an easier pace of life. Specific gripes mentioned are spiralling council taxes, high energy bills and a faltering NHS.
The findings follow emigration trends with figures from the Brits Abroad Report published by the Institute for Public Policy Research showing that 5.5 million Britons now live abroad and that a further one million may leave by the year 2011. The Canaries are proving to be one of the most popular destinations for the Silver Flight as it offers an all year round summer climate just a short flight from the UK and still having the benefits of the EU.

Canary Islands most sought after for Apartments and Commercial buyers 8th February 2008

Apartments are the most enquired about property type on three of the four main Canary Islands, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, according to Kyero.com, with commercial premises being the most popular on the island of Lanzarote. Independent data from the Kyero Enquiry Report (July – Dec 2007) reveals that nationally 3 bedroom villas without a swimming pool and under €150,000 are the most sought after properties in Spain. It appears however that certain regions of Spain attract buyers looking for something a little different. The Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the north-western coast of Africa, is one such region. Popular, with north Europeans especially, as a summer and winter holiday destination, retirement hotspot and the ideal place to start a new life in the sun, the volcanic archipelago attracts around 8 million visitors annually. Currently ranked as the 8th most popular region in which to buy property in Spain on Kyero.com, property stock varies from bungalows, apartments and town houses to duplexes, villas and fincas but it is apartments by far which prove the most sought after in the Canaries with 42% of all enquiries. On the island of Tenerife for example 59% of enquiries are for apartments with town houses and villas trailing at 7% and 5% respectively. 64% of enquiries requested properties with swimming pools and 32% requested 2 bedrooms which currently average at €221,000 (Jan 08). These types of properties are ideal for a wide range of buyers, be they families looking for an affordable holiday home in the sun, retired couples looking to downsize and emigrate or buy-to-let investors seeking low maintenance, high demand rental opportunities. The Canary Islands certainly do offer something for everyone and the island of Fuerteventura is no exception as one of the least developed of the main/ well known Islands such as Lanzarote, Tenerife and gran Canaria, Fuerteventura offers some of the best value apartments within this archipelago, 3 bedroom sea front apartments can be found from as little as 195,000 euros further details can be found on http://www.goldacre-estates.com/
