The vast majority of British buyers head for Orlando in Central Florida, given its world famous theme parks and excellent rental potential for properties in the area.

Other popular areas are the north and west of Florida, in particular Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers and Sarasota. A smaller number buy in Miami. Broadly, the state of Florida can be divided into the following, diverse regions in terms of where foreign investors tend to buy: Central Florida (which includes Orlando); the North East (including Daytona Beach, still within easy reach of Orlando); the Gulf Coast in the west (including Sarasota); Miami and the South-East (known as the Gold Coast, including Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton); the Everglades, and the Florida Keys.

The top part of Florida which runs along the Gulf of Mexico and borders Georgia and Alabama is known as the panhandle (the long, thin bit snaking down the sea is the frying pan).
