Buying property abroad has become a national past time for legions of British holiday makers who want to own a second home in the sun.

South Africa is becoming an increasingly popular destination for emigration and second home buyers due to its rugged and picturesque coastline, warm climate and spectacular national parks. The most popular areas to buy are Cape Town and Durban. Property prices in South Africa can also compare favorably with those in the UK, making a move even more attractive. Recent currency weakness means your money now goes 30% further than in April 2006.
