Brits go overboard for Spanish homes

It’s obvious the McBroon Government is imploding day by day as first the Ghurkhas stick the kukri knife in over the immigration botch-up, then the Daily Telegraph reveals the head of the McBroon clan himself – his talentless YouTube appearance now derided - paid nearly £7,000 to his brother for cleaning his flat.

Then we had the revelation the Mexican flu scare might be a scam to keep that country’s ruling elite in power… The gullible McBroons fell for that one too, preparing for Armageddon by teaching the world how to sneeze proper!

Sane and sensible Brits are convinced the McBroons mob are a mockery, failing on their promises, presiding over a busted Britain and steering the ship of state onto the rocks, where it may well remain for a decade while the citizens work to be taxed more so the £750 billion borrowings can be repaid.

Many Brits are abandoning ship, heading for sunnier shores like Spain.

If it was Mock the Week for the McBroons, it was all hands to the deck in the Spanish property market as Brits took advantage of flights costing as little as £26, including the taxes heaped-on by the McBroons to keep us safe as we shop our way through British airports on the way to the Easyjet or Ryanair plane.

Property sales were brisk along the main Costas as Brits and other northern Europeans queued to view the bargain homes on offer. One local estate agent reported sales running at two a day, up from one a month just a few months ago. One bargain, a golfside, fully furnished must sell 2-bed apartment, sold for £62,000 as five Brits battled to secure it.

Elsewhere, bayview, key ready villas in Puerto Mazarron, Murcia were on offer at £159,000 with 90% bank guaranteed mortgages and 3-year rental guarantees. That’s an offer with a lot of appeal to over-50s looking for a holiday home with fulltime living potential.

It is the over-50s and pensioners, suffering badly in the aftermath of the McBroon fiscal horror show, who can more easily take advantage of the property downturn, bag a bargain and make the move to sunny Spain. More of them have this week, and there'll be more from now on...
