Property Hotspots Around The World: Find The Best Places To Invest Outside The UK

“Want to invest in property but feel
the market’s too unsettled in the UK?
Then read Ajay Ahuja’s book,
Property Hotspots Around The World,
for some alternative ideas overseas...”

WITH THE CURRENT CREDIT CRUNCH IN THE UK, it is not as easy to make wise investments in property on our shores. But Ajay Ahuja believes that there is another way — and he suggests looking abroad.

In his book, Property Hotspots Around The World: Find The Best Places To Invest Outside The UK, Ajay proves he has done his homework. He has not only come up with some suggestions for Hotspots you may like to check out, but he has detailed a whole host of tips and information you need to be aware of. He has also helpfully categorised these places as 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze'.

How do you recognise a Hotspot? What type of investor are you? And what type of property do you want? Ajay will help you to answer all these questions and more as he explains the way through the maze of information you need to invest in property abroad.

Personal circumstances, he says, dictate the price and the location, but it is advisable not to put all your eggs in one basket. Are you looking for property that can provide a rental income or a property that can double as a holiday home while it increases in value?

You will need to understand as much as possible about your chosen country and the area the property is in. What do you know about that particular place? Does it have a large population that would make it a bit easier if you wanted to sell a property on quickly, perhaps because there was a change in your circumstances? Are there good banks and facilities such as a beach, beautiful views, restaurants and bars or an airport within easy driving distance?

Good weather could be important. Are taxes high and is there a safe political climate? Is the cost of living high and what type of employment is available locally? The answers to these questions might well have a bearing on the ultimate outcome — are you buying wisely or are you buying a white elephant?

The book also gives a handy Property Hotspot listing with places such as Egypt, Thailand, Ireland, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, France, Croatia and Bulgaria — every country is accompanied by detailed information such as a demand for letting, public transport, good roads and future plans, each with a key to the investor profile it is best suited to.

If you are considering buying abroad, Property Hotspots Around The World: Find The Best Places To Invest Outside The UK will guide you in the right direction in an easy-to-understand format with a great deal of common sense that you can follow or apply to anywhere in the world you wish.

As an example, Dubrovnik in Croatia is given category Bronze by Ajay. It has a population of 4.33 million and a land area of 56,410 sq km. There are maps to show you the area and a note about the improved political climate and improved relations with Croatia's neighbouring countries.

Ajay also tells you about smoking restrictions, the crime rate and how to behave in your chosen country. He also cites sources and lists other connected and relevant books and information you may find useful. This book is a reference book that can help you identify potential problems and steer you towards making the right decision about property hotspots around the world.
