Florida comes to london

A group of Florida realtors are set to attend overseas property trade show OPPLive in London next week to provide information to British investors looking to purchase property in the US state...

Vice President of the Florida Association of Realtors John Sebree explained that the move is being made to help promote the benefit of purchasing in the US housing market, which is currently struggling domestically and seeing most of its activity from domestic buyers.

He told the Palm Beach Post, "We want to make sure that the British property professionals know that Florida is still on sale and that these prices may never be better."

Those considering buying property in the state may be interested to hear that an amendment to Florida's constitution was recently passed after voters decided on the issue at the same time as casting their vote in the presidential elections.

The amendment grants tax breaks to those who make energy-efficiency and hurricane-proofing improvements to properties in the area.
