International buyers "unaffected by current situation" according to Primelocation.com

Results for Primelocation's 2009 International Survey revealed that 28% of respondents claim to be: "unaffected by the current economic situation."
International Business Development Manager Ann Wright, said she believed this is happening possibly because of "recent press reports of falling property prices across Europe."
The International Survey also monitored the countries the portal’s visitors are most interested in buying in; France took top spot with 25%, Spain came second (16%) and was followed by Italy and Portugal which tied in fourth place with 11% each. The United States, Cyprus, Greece, Switzerland, Turkey, Canada and the UAE took the rest of the top 10 spots.
The survey also found that buyers prefer estate agents in the country in which they are buying. UK based agents are also popular because they "give the buyer the reassurance of an English speaking service and expert" and reliable advice of the individual countries buying processes. Not surprisingly, the survey also indicated that most buyers start their search online using portals.
