At the moment, consumers are finding in particular that food and fuel is less affordable. written by Assetz UK In these days of the credit crunch a number of markets have been singled out as not being badly affected by the crisis. written by Assetz UK When Nationwide released its house price figures this week revealing a dip of 2.5 per cent in May, there were plenty of groans but also some caveats. One of these was that the picture is the subject of much regional variation. written by Assetz UK Anybody who has spent time in a major British city outside London, particularly those of northern England, will have seen plenty of new buildings appearing in recent years. written by Assetz UK There are many markets buy-to-let investors can target, but in seaside towns tourism is undoubtedly to the fore. written by Assetz UK Since the credit crunch struck investors in property have sought to respond in a variety of ways, each according to their circumstances and wider ambitions. While some have held on to their assets at home or abroad - perhaps even adding to them - in anticipation of longer term gains as the market moves into its next positive phase of the cycle, others have sought out new markets which are growing fast, as international conditions are overwhelmed by favorable local factors. written by Assetz UK Today, it seemed, was a bad news day, at least for those who see falling house prices as a bad thing rather than a chance to pick up some bargain property investment. Nationwide's latest house price index showed that the average home in the UK now costs £173,383, a drop of 2.5 per cent in a month and 4.4 per cent in a year. written by Assetz UK Spain is a perennial favourite for British tourists and property investors alike. It may be due to the relaxed lifestyle, the sun-soaked beaches or the traditionally easy path to earning a bit of cash through holiday lets - whatever the reason, Spain consistently appears on the list of top investment hotspots for buyers from the UK. written by Assetz UK In recent years Cyprus has been seen as a country that has enjoyed a property boom for some very good reasons. written by Assetz UK The short-term prospects for the property industry may not appear too hot just now.

It decided to keep the base rate at five per cent, following its vote to cut the rate last month. written by Assetz UK For every analyst who says the Spanish property market is dead, another states that it is only slumbering. Some have suggested that the market is a busted flush for investors, with falling prices and overdevelopment meaning the good times are over after the recent boom years. written by Assetz UK France has been an interesting case when it comes to the assessment of the property fortunes of different countries. While some markets have struggled and others remain strong due to their status as emerging markets with cheap bargains, France seems to be somewhere in the middle. written by Assetz UK The bad press that the buy-to-let industry has had in some quarters in recent years seems never to abate; it simply shifts target. Previously, the industry was blamed for rising prices on the basis of the nation that homes being snapped up by investors could have gone to first-time buyers instead. written by Assetz UK Cape Verde has become a land of exciting opportunity in recent years, where the economy, tourist industry and property market - not to mention its infrastructure and list of airports - have all grown.
