Overseas Property Investment

We have been examining the property markets around the globe to find value for money, return on investment, potential for growth and development, rental market opportunities and basic stability.

With current research showing that up to one in eight Britons intend to purchase an overseas property within the next five years you can see that overseas property investment is very big business.

When it comes to considering property as an investment vehicle, Southern Cyprus is currently out stripping many European Countries, this is rapidly becoming a sure bet to secure you long term gains, both in capital appreciation and rental income.  

Relatively newly discovered property markets are opening up or expanding in countries such as North Cyprus, South Africa and Bulgaria for example - where potential buyers are afforded incredible value for money when it comes to real estate.

The property market in countries such as these has been artificially restricted through the threat of war or political instability, and now with their recent history showing that they are stable countries with strong economies and populated and governed by those with a first world perspective, property investors are finding markets rich in diversity and potential.

Dubai is another country offering interesting real estate investment opportunities. Since May 2002 when the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoom issued a decree allowing foreigners the right to buy freehold property there, the real estate market has exploded!

Properties available in Dubai range from modest one bedroom flats to freehold exclusive islands! And property there still offers very good value for money - furthermore the tax and business advantages in Dubai are very appealing and so property investment in Dubai is enjoying a buoyant upward trend.

And then there are the ‘old’ favourites - France, Florida and Spain for example are all countries with a long history of investment property appeal - especially for Britons and Northern European residents looking to escape the weather and invest in a home in the sun.

Whether you are looking to secure a home for holidays, your retirement or you are looking for a long term investment opportunity these countries still offer the investor potential for real estate growth.
