A THORNTON travel agency has joined an international partnership so it can give local people an easy route to finding and buying their dream home aboard.

Marsh MIll Travel of Marsh Mill Village, has joined the International Partnership Programme (IPP) launched by leading overseas holiday accommodation specialist, The Apartments Abroad Travel Group.
The IPP gives prospective purchasers easy access to a huge range of new and re-sale properties in Spain, France, Portugal, Florida, the Bahamas, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Dominican Republic, Turkey, Cape Verde and Morocco.
It also gains access to specialist advice covering not just the purchase of a property as a holiday haunt, second home or for potential investment, but also issues where native expertise is vital such as the local lifestyle, amenities, education, tax and employment laws.
The partnership harnesses the in-depth knowledge Marsh Mill Travel's' experienced staff have of key destinations and resorts with a massive property portfolio that ranges from ?20,000 apartments by the sea or mountains in up-and-coming Bulgaria, to luxurious multi-million pound mansions in Marbella.
In addition it provides access to a range of advisory support services throughout and beyond the sales process, including arranging property inspections and free marketing any purchased home for rent on apartmentsabroad.com for 12 months.
Marsh Mill Travel's proprietor Julie Taylor said: "We know that many, many people are interested in buying property abroad but have been put off because they simply don't know where to start and may be nervous of dealing with foreign agents and laws."
"The International Partnership Programme removes those worries because, through Apartments Abroad, a range of experts are accessible to purchasers throughout the entire sales process and beyond. It also delivers a really impressive shop window of properties which includes well established sunshine destinations such as the Spanish Costas and fast emerging, great value resorts such as Bulgaria's Sunny Beach."
Recent research shows Brits are increasingly looking to relocate or buy second homes overseas. Market research company Mintel has reported that 20 per cent of UK re-mortgages were for second homes and that increasingly these were purchased overseas.
Julie Taylor added: "There's no doubt that the overseas property market is entering a boom as many destinations are now much more easily accessible due to the growth of no-frills airlines.
"Many people simply want their own place in the sun but often look to generate rental income to offset their mortgage and other expenses. One of the great things about this partnership is that it holds people's hands even after they have bought a property.
"Once a sale has been agreed purchasers can benefit from professional property management services and the free marketing of their home for rent for a year on one of the UK's most popular holiday accommodation websites."
