The number of Britons owning second property abroad now stands at 270,000, according to ONS Government figures, but HIFX's research shows that a further 29 million Brits would like to buy an overseas property and 11 million could actually own one within the next five years. Mark Bodega, marketing director of HIFX comments: "There has been a shift from a second home being regarded as a luxury to it being something attainable by most people."
