Foreign Interest In Gran Canaria Property Rises 30%
Foreign enquiries about Gran Canaria property rose by 29.3% says Property portal Kyero.
The rise was part of a wide trend of increased interest in Canary Islands property. Enquiries about Tenerife rose by 50.7%, Lanzarote by 49.3% and Fuerteventura by 30.7%.
Property sales enquiries about Spanish property rose by 25% in the first three months of 2016.
The vast majority of Kyero enquiries were by British buyers (up 30%) while Germans, Dutch and Swedish enquiries also rose.

In Gran Canaria, housing transaction numbers are now at 49% of peak levels back in 2007.
