Well I think we can safely say the Brits are buying again abroad! Last year it was buyers from other nationalities - mainly Russians and Scandinavians - stirring the market recovery in Spain and Portugal, for example, but 2014 has been characterised by the return of the UK buyer.

Pension legislation freeing up pots of cash, the pound at an 18-month-high and the feel-good factor at home - with our economy looking brighter - have all played their role.

So now really is the time to take advantage of property prices abroad still down from their 2007/8 peaks and we offer a meaty piece on overseas mortgages (how hard is it to get one?), along with plenty of insights and ideas from your favourite markets, including some great beachfront holiday homes.

Have a great summer.
