Portugal property is still popular with buyers, a developer in the country has said.

United Investments Portugal, which launched in 2007, has announced that its Pine Cliffs apartment complex on the Algarve has proved to be so popular that another 40 units have been put up for sale.

The company said that the complex, which is next to a pine forest, near the Atlantic and boasts a golf course, benefits from being in "one of the most popular destinations for European holidaymakers", with easy access from the UK.

News of the extra sales may be an indication that the Portugal property market is still in a healthy position for investment, despite the economic downturn.

Earlier this week overseas property portal Homesgofast.com suggested that the Silver Coast is a good part of Portugal in which to invest.

It commented that the area is particularly attractive because of an absence of overdevelopment and features such as the historic walled city of Obidos.
