Overseas Home Owners Will Need To Sniff Out The Best Flight Deals

As air fares continue to rise in the face of the ever increasing cost of fuel, overseas home owners might have to think twice before jetting off to their place in the sun.

--- Although most people who own an overseas property visit on average once or twice a year to unwind and relax, there is a growing number of UK and Irish citizens who regularly take long weekend breaks in their villa or apartment in order to get away for the inclement weather in the UK.

It is these overseas property owners who may find that the costs of flitting back and forth to Spain or Portugal means that they may have to reconsider.

Carla Ianiri, Marketing Director for Buy Abroad, said "Many people chose a country for their second home primarily on the basis that the area was serviced by one of the cheap airline routes from companies such as easyJet and Ryanair, and, while these carriers will continue to offer competitively priced travel to such regions as Spain and Portugal, there is no doubt that even these carriers will have to pass on increases in fuel duty to clients. This in turn is bound to effect how many trips people will take to their villa or apartment in the sun. However, the cheap flight market is still competitive and overseas property owners will just have to work that bit harder to sniff out the best deals to get them to their dream home for that long weekend away from the rain."
