Currencies.co.uk has recently predicted that one in two Britons will be forced to sell their holiday homes due to the Euro-zone crisis which has resulted in fallen rental incomes and occupancy rates. In 2010, homeowners letting their second properties witnessed a decrease in their annual profits. Also, in Greece, Ireland and Spain house prices have fallen as they have been worst affected by the Euro-zone crisis due to the Euros’ instability. Many Britons are also deciding to sell their properties due the constant fluctuation between the Euro and the Pound, which has made it increasingly difficult for homeowners to estimate their property’s value.
Stephen Hughes, Director of Currencies.co.uk, commented: “The Euro has undoubtedly been subject to a fluctuation in rate, and due to the falling of house prices and rental incomes we predict that one in two Britons will decide to sell their holiday homes in Europe to potentially receive a return on their investment. We have witnessed an increase in Britons selling their second homes year on year over the past five years as the sterling has increasingly weakened against other currencies, such as the Euro and the US Dollar.”
