From Fri 1 – Sun 3 Mar, Britain’s premier property show A Place in the Sun Live takes over Manchester Central for a three-day exhibition designed to help buyers from around the region realise their dream of owning property abroad. Featuring expert guidance, insightful seminars and a sprawling array of property showcases throughout the centre, A Place in the Sun Live promises an inspirational weekend of helpful information and enjoyable exploration for couples, families and retirees alike.
Ahead of the exhibition, we’ve rounded up A Place in the Sun Live‘s Top 6 property destinations for 2024.

As the British buy-to-let market has slowed considerably, the USA’s Sunshine State has roared back up the search rankings with the promise of fantastic rental returns, although the eternal southern summer, access to the Caribbean and absence of any language barrier make Florida a timelessly appealing destination for buyers looking for the ideal retirement move.
Predictably, the budget is significantly bigger than many European choices: with searches ranging from the award-winning beaches of Sarasota to the world-famous resorts of Orlando to verdant, sun-drenched cities like Davenport and Kissimee, the average property comes in at £444,147.

Scattered across the cerulean waters of the Aegean Sea, the Greek Islands continue to provide the ultimate year-round summer for buyers after another thriving year of tourism and a reassuringly sturdy economy, as daydreaming Brits seek out the glittering shores of Crete, Zante and Rhodes with an average budget of £268,590.
In most parts of the country, the threshold for a ‘golden visa’ – a highly desirable residency-by-investment program that lets you travel the Schengen without any further permits – is just £250,000, and now that the Portuguese initiative has now ended, Greece has risen to prominence not only as a sun-dappled utopia full of irresistible food and serene living, but also a gateway to the continent for half the price of a suburban semi.
