More Britons look to move to Spain - and a picturesque region has the highest number of available homes

The latest data from Ennes Global showed search interest for the term "buying in Spain" increased by a huge 68.9 per cent in 2025, compared to 2024. Searches for "holiday home Spain" also jumped 66.1 per cent.

Last year, there were proposals of a 100 per cent tax on property purchases in Spain by non-EU residents, as well as more purchasing restrictions, but that has seemingly not deterred UK buyers.

So, where do Britons have the best chance of finding their dream home? Andalusia has the most available stock, at 52.5 per cent of all overseas listings.

This is home to popular Spanish destinations like Seville, Granada and the Doñana National Park. Cadiz and Malaga are also located here, meaning Britons have their pick between city life or coastal relaxation for their second home or to start their life abroad.

For more options, Valencia follows with 22.8 per cent of listings, while the Balearic Islands hold 8.5 per cent.

CEO of Enness Global, Islay Robinson, said: “Despite the political noise around restricting overseas buyers, British interest in Spanish property remains remarkably resilient, and our analysis shows that demand hasn’t weakened; if anything, it has strengthened over the past year.

"For many UK buyers, Spain continues to offer an unbeatable combination of lifestyle, climate, and relative value, particularly when compared to some parts of the domestic market.

"While regulatory changes may alter how people buy, they are unlikely to change why people buy, and we are seeing many clients place a greater emphasis on structuring purchases efficiently based on the evolving landscape.

"Ultimately, Spain remains one of the most desirable second-home and relocation destinations for British buyers, and even in a tighter regulatory environment, demand for quality lifestyle property in the sun shows no sign of fading.”

Spain has a large expat community, and the familiarity can really help Britons settle in if they choose to move there.

If relocating, an expat living there shared "simple" advice to help beat the crowds and experience the cities like a local.

He shared advice for living in different parts of the country and offered tips about visiting top attractions. The expat explained: “After years of living in Spain and guiding students through the country's culture, I've seen countless visitors return from ‘must-see’ attractions feeling disappointed.”
