The “A Place in the Sun Live” real estate exhibition returned to London ExCeL from May 9th to 11th, 2025, attracting thousands of visitors looking to buy property abroad. As one of the UK’s most trusted overseas property events, it offered a comprehensive platform for buyers, investors, and real estate professionals to explore international real estate opportunities.
A Strong Focus on Spanish Property – Especially the Costa del Sol
Among the many international destinations represented, Spain’s Costa del Sol once again proved to be a crowd favorite. The demand for villas, apartments, and investment properties in regions like Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís, and Mijas Costa remains strong, driven by British buyers seeking sunshine, lifestyle, and value.
Exhibitors from the Costa del Sol real estate market presented exclusive listings, legal advice, and relocation services to help buyers make informed decisions. Topics such as residency post-Brexit, golden visa options, and property tax implications were also in high demand.
Costa del Sol Property at the Heart of the Action
Costa del Sol Property was proud to participate as an official exhibitor at this year’s event, showcasing a curated portfolio of luxury villas and high-potential investment opportunities. The team engaged in dozens of in-depth conversations with potential buyers, many of whom expressed a strong emotional connection to the region and a genuine interest in relocating or investing.
The exchanges went beyond square meters and price points — visitors were eager to learn about the lifestyle, the evolving market dynamics, and the best locations for long-term value. Discussions ranged from emerging neighborhoods with untapped potential to practical concerns like remote purchasing, tax structuring, and property management.
“There was a noticeable shift in buyer mindset this year,” commented Felipe Valdes-Carter, CEO and founder of Costa del Sol Property. “People came prepared, with questions not just about homes but about life in Spain — schooling, healthcare, community. The interest wasn’t just transactional; it was personal.”
Why the Costa del Sol Stands Out in 2025
here are a number of reasons why, historically, the Costa de Sol has been one of the predilected destinations both for tourism and for the acquisiton of a second residence:
- Over 300 days of sunshine per year
- Strong rental yields for holiday lets
- Ongoing infrastructure improvements (e.g., airport renovation, road access, healthcare facilities)
- Growing demand for sustainable and modern developments and all types of properties
Buyers at the London show showed particular interest in off-plan villas, beachfront apartments, and turnkey properties with rental potential.
