Portugal Tipped As Top Destination

With Portugal pulling out of recession, the European Commission predicts that Portuguese economy will do better in 2010 than previously expected. Having rebounded from a property slump Portugal now sees property prices starting to follow a positive trend.

As a new International Airport opens at Beja, an influx of tourists and property bargain seekers are expected to follow. Such a situation could help bolster the property market at a time when the country’s economic conditions improve.

Here, a special focus on Golf Property and Investment opportunities because such properties are ideal for golfers as well as for Buy-to-Let investment buyers.Whilst golf property takes advantage of a very busy ‘low season’ with many golf enthusiasts flocking to Portugal to enjoy golf holidays in excellent weather, for the investor, this offers a constant flow of rental clients and makes golf investment property the favourite for buy-to-let investors.

France, through a combination of very low interest rates, attractive property prices and a growing economy, has become an increasingly attractive investment option.

Very stable market conditions based on a mature financial system have given a stronger appetite for lending to foreign investors.

France, a more established destination currently attracts the smart investor who no longer simply looks for a swift return but to where security lies for a longer term investment.

Currently refinancing a property in France offers a particularly attractive proposition. Whilst French property market has declined less than other countries such as the United States and Spain, the Euro has strengthened against a number of other major currencies: Sterling and the Dollar – here lies a very attractive proposition.
