With soaring house prices and washed out summers, it's no wonder more of us Brits are buying property abroad. Check out some of our favourite overseas hotspots...

Buying property in Morocco
Despite being only a three-hour flight from the UK, Morocco is a world apart. From the ancient cities of Tangier, Marrakech and Casablanca to the sprawling arid desert, Morocco certainly provides something different for today's homebuyer.

Bustling towns and cities provide some of the liveliest markets on the planet, while the sandy white coastline offers rest and relaxation set to rival some of the world's most popular beach destinations. It is even possible to ski on the snow-capped Atlas mountains - proving that Morocco really is one of the most diverse locations around.

The choice of properties is just as varied, with new-build apartments, townhouses and villas competing with traditional riads and dars. It is this mixture of old and new which makes Morocco a property hotspot - thanks to clever planning and design, old architecture is complimented by its modern counterparts. But the real icing on the cake is the country's property prices, as no matter what type of home you go for it's not going to break the bank.
