While property investment in Spain has rarely been off the radar for years now, emerging property markets including Cyprus and Bulgaria have inevitably stolen some of the limelight, UK experts believe.

House price growth has remained strong in Spain, however, and investors continue to flock to the country with the intention of making considerable returns, both through rental income and capital gains, the website of London real estate consultancy Assetz commented.

According to Spain Herald, average house prices in Spain are now higher than EUR 6,000 per square metre in nine cities in the country.

Figures from the Tecnitasa property valuation company show that Sevilla, Oviedo and Zaragoza have now joined the elite list that already includes Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Marbella and Santander.
