With rental yields and capital growth in the UK property market beginning to stagnate, more and more investors are looking to emerging markets for property investments that can potentially generate annual percentage yields well into double figures. Fly to let property is becoming increasingly popular but there is much misleading advice available on where the best deals are to be found.

First of all, what is a “fly to let” property? Essentially, it’s an overseas buy to let usually located near an airport or in a resort area. For most UK investors, buy to let usually means long-term lets – however, most fly to let property attracts rental income from short term holiday makers, so it’s important to choose an area or country which has growing numbers of tourists and substantial investment in infrastructure to support tourism.

At Someplace Else, we conduct extensive research into emerging markets for property before deciding to market land or property in a country. We ensure that there are good prospects for the local economy and that the area is both attractive to foreign investors and receptive to them, with reliable and straightforward laws relating to foreigners purchasing property.

With investment opportunities in South America and Eastern Europe, property investment abroad never looked so attractive.
