Try talking to people, searching the net, keeping an eye open in the papers etc for where new developments are planned. Maybe where a new rail link or motorway junction is going to be, new offices, retail parks, or a property on the edge of an area that is going to be regenerated. Just watch out not to get something in the route of that new motorway, or a derelict ex-council type flat that could be buldozed. I reckon once the Starbucks etc have turned up - its already too late!

|Where are you looking to invest? :confused: Here or abroad? If it is aborad, according to http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=26022006 Romania is the best place to invest. And if you are looking for help in translating and interpeting these guys (http://www.bostico.co.uk/romania.htm) can help you quite cheap. Hope this was a good idea.

One of the best places to invest is Bulgaria. There you can expect good investment returns with the off-plan properties. In 2007 Bulgaria is expected to join the EU so the prices will get higher an d if you invest now you will earn a lot. Take a look at http://www.premierapartmentsbg.com/bulgaria_property_show_9.html - this is a very good exclusive development if you are interested in ski resort investment and http://www.premierapartmentsbg.com/bulgaria_property_show_6.html - this is Sofia property investment opportunity. Those developments are very good for investment.
Another good investment to my thinking is in land in the Bansko ski resort Bulgaria.

My advice is to visit several different countries, where you can find good investment potential of the properties. You have to see everything, collect enough information for the area and the buying process and then decide what to do. nobody can tell you the real situation. You have to be there to tell the story your self. Then you will know your place.

In the UK at the moment the city that has the most bouyant rental market and showing the largest capital appreciation is Birmingham. Birmingham is undergoing a multi billion pound rejuvenation and is packed full with prodessional young people. They are building 2 new hospitals, law courts, business school, new parks etc etc.

The city as we knew it has completely changed. It is the UK's second city with 6 million working and living in and around the city.

One of the most pretigous developments is Holliday Wharf. Check out www.locatebirmingham.com If you have a serious interest we have secured a deal with the developer and currently have 3, 1 bed apts. in the final phase. These are available at below market price and represent a serious saving of upto 12k. The 3 are the last of 30 originally purchased to secure the deal.

Post a reply or e-mail me and I will send more details.
