The ultimate overseas property portal is here
APlaceInTheSun.com is a world first - a brand extension by an overseas property TV programme broadcast in the UK and watched by over 1.5 million people a week that also has its own exhibition and magazine - and now a portal too which offers properties for sale, news, features and advice.
SURREY, UK, November 19, 2008 /United Kingdom News Articles/ -- In the UK the well-known and trusted A Place in the Sun brand has welcomed a new member to its family. The popular Channel 4 TV show, first seen in 2000 and followed by A Place in the Sun magazine and A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions, has now been joined by the much-anticipated APlaceInTheSun.com online portal.
Bringing together all elements of the A Place in the Sun brand in one place, and serving both buyers and sellers, APlaceInTheSun.com is a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to buy abroad.
This digital portal features thousands of properties for sale across the world as well as the latest overseas property news. It also offers practical guides to buying and financing overseas property plus country-specific information and discussion forums, where users have begun sharing their experiences, points of view and advice.
In addition the site provides visitors with exclusive information on each week's episode of the TV show including the couples featured, properties visited and specific advice relating to the country and region. It details all the up-and-coming event information at the A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions as well as exclusive news, features and celebrity interviews from the magazine.
With the digital launch, the A Place in the Sun brand is now always at your fingertips - whatever country or property type interests you. At any time of the day or night, whenever you have the desire to search for overseas property or look for advice, the website is always just a click away.
"The new website features top experts offering free and independent advice alongside the latest news stories and interesting features from award-winning journalists. It is an up-to-date wealth of valuable insider knowledge." says Nigel Lewis, Head of Content, APlaceInTheSun.com
The website aims to make the process of buying a property abroad as easy and hassle-free as possible, creating an environment where visitors feel confident and at ease. A Place in the Sun understands how daunting it can be to buy overseas so, the new website is clean and clutter-free with no display advertising, banners or pop ups, making APlaceInTheSun.com the first UK overseas property portal to be this way, offering balanced advice and information, without the hard sell.
Says Niall McOnegal, New Media Director, APlaceInTheSun.com: "With the best-selling overseas property magazine and the UK's biggest and best-attended overseas property exhibitions all supporting the UK's most successful overseas property TV show, customer trust is important to us, and their loyalty greatly valued. In launching this new addition our principles remain the same, which is why APlaceinTheSun.com has visitor's best interests at heart. We are looking to create an equally compelling online product and replicate our other success stories."
Despite trying times in the UK home property market and the global credit crunch, APlaceInTheSun.com has seen that a high number of buyers are still active in the overseas property market, particularly those seeking bargains, and with property on offer priced from 2,057 in rural Bulgaria to a 47.6 million mansion on the Cote d'Azur in France, APlaceInTheSun.com has something for every budget.
