Thousands
of British holidaymakers flock to Florida every year. It's easy
to see why - a warm climate, great beaches and a huge variety
of attractions for adults and children alike.
Unsurprisingly, owning a holiday or rental home in Florida has
also become extremely popular in recent years, as UK buyers
have benefited from relatively low property prices in Florida
and a strong pound.
In
fact, the US is the second most popular choice after Spain for
Britons buying homes abroad.
But how easy is it to buy in Florida? Although the process for
buying a property in Florida is very different to that in the
UK, it's surprisingly straightforward - and quite fast.
Buyers can often complete a purchase (including arranging a
mortgage) in just 4-6 weeks - faster than a typical UK sale!
