British property prices have virtually quadrupled since 1990. Great if you already own a UK home; not so great if you’re saving for your place on the ladder, as wages haven’t even doubled.

Even for current home-owners in the UK, continental European property is a tempting investment. Price increases in France, Spain and Portugal have been steadier and salaries have remained closer to housing expenses – a sign that future rises are sustainable. The data also shows that those countries have been slower to recover from the financial crisis and are still on an economic upswing just as the UK approaches Brexit with trepidation.
