With the financial crisis squeezing estate agents are having to up their game to make sure they get their share of the market. This is when qualities like local knowledge, range of properties, meeting family needs, and good old fashioned service can make all the difference.
Tenerife is still a popular destination for a second home due to the weather and amazing beaches, it almost sells itself, but that’s no reason to take things for granted. It’s good to be flexible and after years of satisfying customers a good name in the property market is invaluable.

One of the fastest and easiest ways to find property for sale in the Canary Islands is to go online. Casa Quest has a wide selection of properties on Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria. It only deals with Spain’s most reputable and well-established estate agents.
Apart from providing access to a vast array of properties in Spain, Casa Quest also provides a comprehensive range of global property and investment related information.
Emerging Markets
As Spain’s beaches are becoming more and more crowded, people are looking further a field for their dream home in the sun. Two popular choices are South Africa and Asia.
South Africa
In this part of the world you’ll get a house with a large open-plan living area and terraces with views to the sea and mountains for just £252,000. You undoubtedly get more property and land for your money here than you would in most parts of Europe. South Africa has a diverse landscape of stunning natural beauty. It also has vast stretches of coastline that remain completely unspoilt.
Apart from the fact that they all speak English, property prices are very low here, (the pound is strong against the rand) and it’s quite close to get to. It’s no wonder more and more Britons are investing here.
Asia
Asia has some of the world’s longest rivers, largest deserts, and thickest forests and jungles. The highest and lowest places on the earth are in Asia. Mount Everest rises 29,035 feet above sea level along the Nepal-Tibet border. The Dead Sea shore lies about 1,310 feet below sea level between Israel and Jordan. It’s the largest continent in both size and population. Some of the most popular investment area here include India, Thailand, and more recently, Singapore and Malaysia.
The Indian state of Goa is a beach paradise with 75 miles of coastline, 50 of which are clean sandy beach with crystal clear warm waters. This is one of Asia’s lowest-priced holiday-home locations. For just £135,000 you could get a six-bedroom townhouse!
Thailand is the most popular holiday home investment area in the whole of Asia. It has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and its urban centres are still expanding rapidly. Almost 6 million people live in Bangkok – the capital and largest city.
Thailand offers a unique cocktail of nightlife, beaches, nature and spirituality – about 95 percent of the Thai people are Buddhists. It also has a rich mix of properties. You’d pay about £100,000 for a flat near the beaches at Patong, on Phuket Island.
Singapore is a world class, cosmopolitan and culturally vibrant city. It’s also stable, peaceful and safe. Prices here have been static for years but have recently started to rise. A three bedroom-flat in a good quality condominium with a concierge and pool would cost you around £350,000.
Malaysia has the perfect climate – it’s comfortably warm all year round. The country has excellent hotels, a superb infrastructure and streets that are safe and well policed. On the Malaysian island of Borneo, two-bedroom villas start at just £145,000.
Investing in property abroad
Whether you’re buying or selling, with Casa Quest you’ll get an unbiased view of the whole process. You’re guaranteed the most honest and up to date information regarding property for sale in the Canary Islands and beyond.
