There has never been a better time to invest in property than now. Having eased our way out of a global recession, the market is once again looking good for realtors everywhere. Even if you are just an amateur investor, it is still a very good time to get investing. And if you are planning on buying your first house, then you are in luck. Getting your foot on the property ladder is getting easier and easier, and things only look set to improve in the coming few years. 2016, in particular, is going to be a popular year for home-buying the world over. So if you want to get in there in the next few years, this year might be your best bet.
There are many options available to you when you are looking to invest in property. One possibility which many people frequently overlook is that of investing in property abroad. Doing so has numerous diverse benefits which really make it worthwhile in the long run. However, the difficulty here is in knowing where to look. To help you out, we have put together this short guide. Here are the top few countries you should invest property in this year.
Spain
Spain is one of the most popular holiday destinations for people around the globe. It has a particular fascination for other Europeans, in particular the French and the English. It is not difficult to work out why so many people choose to flock there every year. Gorgeous sun, glorious little towns and famously beautiful people make it a hot destination for just about anyone. But in terms of property investment, you can’t really say much fairer. Known for many years for its ludicrously cheap apartments and villas, nothing has changed on this front. If it’s cheap and cheerful you want, Spain is the one to go for.
Australia
However, if you are keen to add a little glamour to your repertoire, then you might like to consider Australia. Australia is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants a great deal of space. It is rare to find a property here which is not a huge, sprawling affair. Whether you are looking at The Peak Melbourne or somewhere out in the bush, you are guaranteed value for money. And with that hot Aussie sun beating down, what better place to live? For an investment which feels like a holiday home all year round, you’ve got to give Australia a go.
France
The French property market was struggling a few years ago, but this has fortunately turned around in the last year or so. This is thanks in no small part to the 25% reduction in capital gains tax. What this means for the keen investor is that now is a very good, if slightly competitive, time to invest in French property. The French Riviera is a popular choice among those looking to invest. With some of the most glorious views you are likely to find in Europe, it’s easy to see why.
