Florida: an ‘incredible opportunity’?

There has never been a better time to buy property in America’s ‘Sunshine State’…

Florida is the traditional tourism capital of America, if not the world. International visitors flock there year after year, for endless days of sunshine, the swathes of beaches and of course the infamous Disney World attractions.

With the boom in property over the last few years, purchasing property in Florida had become an impossible dream for many. However, the recent economic slowdown and the strength of the sterling, has opened a window of opportunity.

Robin Barrasford, Managing Director of the agents Barrasford & Bird Worldwide is urging prospective investors to take the plunge: “With the pound at its strongest level against the dollar for over 26 years coupled with the recent drops in the American property prices, now is an incredible opportunity to benefit from America's economic slowdown.

”Investors can buy a property in the tourist capital of the world for as little as £36K and wait for the inevitable economic upturn to make your substantial returns, all whilst benefiting from the strong rental opportunity that Florida offers".
