Leisure Market Slow To Recover

While the global property markets are slowly showing signs of recovery many expect the holiday or leisure property markets to remain stagnant for some time yet. The strength of the Euro against the British pound is another factor and with the UK expected to be among the stragglers emerging from the recession this further dampens the prospects for developers in this market. Here in Spain numerous developments are on indefinite hold including a large golf resort development near Malaga. However in Turkey, Altinkum apartments are bucking the trend and sales are holding strong. Many experts believe this is due to the recent EU status of Turkey.


Consumer Rights

As consumers we are generally well protect against mistreatment by retailers and other commercial organisations. Consumer rights are fought for and sanctioned throughout the parliaments of Europe and Western societies the world over. It is therefore a surprise to many to discover a case like payment protection insurance  miss-selling on such a grand sales as such that has been happening in recent years. The fall out for this is becoming huge and will have a potentially catastrophic effect on some businesses. However the message is clear for individuals - if you have been the victim of miss-selling, get your PPI claims submitted to get your money back.


Travel Market Evolving

The effects won’t be felt for another few years yet, but what we are seeing is that gap years are no longer the preserve of the student population or twenty something career breakers looking for a gap year Australia experience.

The south east Asian stomping grounds of Thailand, Laois, Cambodia and Vietnam are still popular, but grey gaps are looking for a little more luxury and have the cash to afford it too. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects traditional city break locations such as Madrid. The gap year Thailand set could become an interesting mix of young and old.


On The Move

Recently when trying to move house, I came across a problem! It was essential I found the best letting agents manchester has to offer. I found this difficult though. Eventually I found the perfect choice and I was delighted with the way things turned out.

I am now living in a modern 2 bed flat just south of Manchester in a brilliant, safe area. Moving in wasn’t too fun as there was a lot of work to do and I dislike packing and unpacking all my things! But once settled, it was kind of refreshing to have a nice place.

Happy days!
