Overseas property agents can also advertise their properties free of charge, in return for referring their British clients to Foreign Currency Direct for a currency quote on their overseas property purchases.

Now, private clients can also take advantage of PropertyLine’s traffic by advertising one property to a wide audience, receiving enquiries directly to their email address.

Go to PropertyLine.co.uk/sell.php for more details. Properties for sale in France, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Italy and Florida are particularly in demand.

A spokesman from PropertyLine said: "We are pleased to be able to offer private sellers the opportunity to advertise overseas homes across our network of websites, with some 300,000 users per month searching for properties around the world. Finding and buying a dream home abroad has always been easy with PropertyLine, and now people repatriating to the UK from abroad can take advantage of an audience who are looking to relocate to the sun."

PropertyLine reported a 30% increase in enquiries for the week September 10th to 17th, compared to a month previous, and a 12.5% increase in visitors to the site in the same period.

Given recent press coverage showing the ever-increasing number of us emigrating or looking further afield, it is no surprise that looking for property in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada is also on the up, as British buyers continue to bail out of the UK market.

Propertyline, which is owned by UK currency broker Foreign Currency Direct plc, has over 17,000 properties for sale around the world listed by agents, developers and private sellers. Foreign Currency Direct specialises in facilitating currency transactions for overseas property purchasers, obtaining better exchange rates than typical high street banks which can save thousands of pounds on a foreign transaction.

Buying property in Spain has become popular in recent years, but a slight dip in property prices in 2007 has seen negative press start to appear. Propertyline, however, reports that the UK's love affair with a place on the Costas shows no sign of abating.

This year Spain's beaches received more than five hundred Blue Flags for excellence of facility.

It has long been the case that retiring Britains would buy themselves a property in Spain to spend their retirement, but nowadays potential buyers are of all ages, and many are under 35 years old.

The accessibility (fly to Malaga in 2 hours from most UK airports) and the price of properties in Spain is proving to be a hit to many Britains - who are clearly looking to get more 'bang for their buck' than they would in the UK.

The Costa Blanca, with its beautiful beaches, palm trees and tranquil shores is still proving to be one of the most popular areas for foreign investors, and it's easy to see why.

Fuelled by the swathes of television programmes about buying a dream home abroad, the Spanish property market is still a hot pick for Brits looking to escape from bleak UK climes.

A recent dip in Spanish property prices has sparked off some negative press about the long term feasibility of Spanish property investment, but figures show that interest has certainly not tailed off in any way whatsoever.

"It's difficult to predict what investors will do but what we think is the long-term outlook for the property market is good," said Laura Vergani, head of media relations at Barclays GRCB.

The British press have apparently exaggerated recent events in Spanish property markets, not giving readers the ‘full picture’

Up to a million Britons are believed to be living in Spain permanently.

Robin Haynes, running the Propertyline.co.uk project, commented:

"August is traditionally a quiet time of year for Brits buying overseas, but we are still seeing a healthy level of enquiries, particularly in southern Europe and the USA. The newspapers all like to hype up bad news, but it seems we are not being put off owning a dream home in the sun".

Results were taken from all Propertyline enquiries received from July 27th to August 9th 2007.

Unlike most property portals on the web today, Propertyline also has the unique attraction of combining private sellers, agents and developers from multiple countries, and connecting them with buyers across the world. There is also a Property Hunt facility facility - simply fill in details of your ideal purchase abroad and we can put you in touch with sellers directly according to your preferences.

If you're buying in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Dubai, the USA or almost anywhere in the world, we'll help you find your ideal property today.

In addition, property agents can take advantage of free advertising across the network, by vitrue of a partnership with FCD for currency referrals for their clients. This has already proved successful with many agents reporting a good volume of quality enquiries, at no incremental cost to them and with no commission to pay on sales.

Robin Haynes, FCD Director responsible for the Propertyline project, said: "Foreign Currency Direct is the only UK currency broker committed to adding value to agents' businesses by providing genuine property enquiries to enhance the sales process. The resulting property portal site is in turn a useful tool for UK citizens looking at overseas purchases - meaning we can help them find their dream home and then save them money with the currency transfers too."
