On Channel 4's 20 Best Places To Buy In The Sun, TV presenter, Amanda Lamb chose her 20 recommended property destinations. Top of the list was The Algarve.

• The number of British households who have recognised overseas property as an investment and now own abroad, has doubled in less than a decade.
• An estimated 300,000 households owned property abroad compared to just 102,000 ten years ago.
• Portugal, Spain & France in particular topped the overseas property buying league.
• Television programmes proclaiming the virtues of buying and living abroad, the rapid growth of budget air travel, soaring UK property prices and an aversion to traditional investments such as pension plans have all helped drive the surge in demand for overseas real estate in Portugal.
• Channel 4's website explored the growth in popularity of the overseas golf resorts and gave their pick of the affordable and exclusive real estate investments currently on the market. Vigia's flagship, Parque da Floresta was singled out as Portugal's best property investment option.
