The Global Property Hot Spots report, based on analysis of enquiries received by HiFX, has found France and Spain to be consistently at the top of popular destinations for Brits buying abroad in recent years.  However, the lead of these traditional holiday home countries is being lessened by new emerging markets where investors are vying for properties which will deliver quick growth.  Interest in Bulgaria in 2007 was double what it was in 2005; the number of enquires relating to property in China has increased from zero in 2005 to 3% in 2007, which is more than were received for more traditional destinations such as Portugal and Cyprus.
