Well with less than a month to go until Christmas what will you be buying your loved ones?

Christmas Holiday Breaks

With many people fed up of the doom and gloom of 2009′s economic melt down, and the media induced depression throughout the UK and Ireland, many families are looking to get away from it all for a week or so over the festive period.

Portugal is always a popular choice during this time, and the population once again swells from around the 20th of December up to the New Year. With flights dropping drastically in price, you can find many budget airlines offering returns from just €6 per person (from most major UK & Eire airports).

Many property owners who aren’t using their property in Portugal over this time will find the few weeks rental a welcome boost to the Christmas coffers, with the high demand areas generating anything up to €1,000 per week for a 2 bed apartment.

Portugal Property for Christmas?

Although it’s unlike to be a stocking filler, or indeed a regular gift, there has been a huge demand on property viewing trips throughout December this year. The idea of spending a few days in the sun (yes it is still sunny here) avoiding the pandemonium of Christmas shopping back home, and finding a great holiday home or investment property appears to be quite appealing.

Although the market has picked up substantially from the 1st half of the year, there are still some beautiful properties up for grabs. These recently finished townhouses in the Silver Coast are a great buy at just €136,000.
