Bulgaria

Bulgaria is the newest member of the European Union since 1st of January, 2007. Located on the Black Sea in South-Eastern Europe, Bulgaria borders the Danube River and Romania to the north, Greece and Turkey to the South, Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro to the West and the Black Sea to the East.

Proud of its unique heritage, Bulgaria is a wonderful combination of breathtaking nature, interesting history and ancient culture. Its people are amongst the most hospitable in Europe.

A property haven for investors

Politically, Bulgaria is one of the most stable countries in the Balkan region. The expected membership to the EU in 2007 is a factor that will affect capital appreciation. The economic foundations are good; tourism is growing rapidly with a 62% rise in the number of Britons visiting last year.

Properties in tourist destinations increased by 25 to 30% over each of the past two years with more than 20% expected this year, when EU membership is confirmed. With the low cost of living, affordable housing and the fastest-growing market in Europe, Bulgaria is definitely the next property haven for investors.

An unforgettable holiday destination

Bulgaria is a picturesque small country situated in south-eastern Europe. It occupies the north-eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. With a compelling history stretching more than 13 centuries in Europe, it can offer its visitors a great number of architectural monuments and museums.

Known for its beautiful mountainous landscape, Bulgaria increasingly attracts holidaymakers from all over Europe. This comes as no surprise, as endless sandy beaches, safe seas and the sunny climate promise an unforgettable holiday.

Bulgaria also has a variety of mountain ranges. On the slopes of Rila Mountain, the Rila Monastery is one of the most significant cultural centres in Bulgaria. It is also a World Cultural and National Heritage site established by UNESCO. Its seven cultural sites and two nature reserves encompass the beauty of this country. Also listed by UNESCO is the Pirin National Park. This magnificent landscape is made up of old forests, a rich variety of flora and fauna, and mineral springs. What’s more, Bulgaria even offers a perfect opportunity for skiing as the alpine peaks rise above 2500m high.

Cape Verde

Situated due south from the Canaries and recently made more accessible than ever before by new flight routes from Europe, the Cape Verde Islands offer home-buying at a snip of the price of any other European destination.

Under Portuguese rule since the 15th Century, the ten islands and eight islets, which make up this interdependent archipelago are beset with beauty in bountiful proportions.

Now independent, but reliant on their Portuguese and African roots for governmental support, the islands are entering a period of development in response to new tourist interest.

Surrounded by coral reefs, home to hundreds of species of exotic amphibian, the islands have crisp white sand beaches backed with tropical vegetation.

Much of the flora is similar to the Canaries but denser. The Cape Verde islands also sport Dragon trees and every type of palm in abundance. The islands also form an important point for migrating tropical birds flying between Africa and South America.

Activities are available through water sports to pursuits on the rocky volcanic climbs of the islands’ mountainous areas. All areas of the islands are soaked in rich colour and offer an incredible ambience in one of the best climates in the world. With all this on offer for some of the most staggering prices you will consider when looking at foreign property, we think we’ve found a new piece of property paradise for you to consider.

Costa Del Sol

The Costa del Sol is a region in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, comprising the coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coastline of the Malaga province and the eastern edge of the Cádiz province.

A region transformed

The name translates as ‘Sunny Coast’ [1] or ‘Sunshine Coast’ in English. Formerly made up only of a series of small, quiet fishing settlements, the region has been completely transformed during the latter part of the 20th century into a tourist destination of world renown, with a near-continuous urban agglomeration of high-rise settlements and resorts running along the length of the coastline.

The Costa Del Sol includes the city of Malaga, and the towns of Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara, Vélez-Málaga, Nerja, Torrox, Estepona, San Luis de Sabinillas, the community of Sotogrande, San Roque and La Línea de la Concepción. Settlement in the region dates back to the Bronze Age. It has been colonised and ruled by many cultures such as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths and Moors, before the Reconquista.

Meeting the demands of International Tourism

Historically its population lived in the fishing villages, and in the ‘white’ villages a little distance inland, in the mountains running down to the coast. The area was discovered and developed to meet the demands of international tourism in the 1950s. It has since been a popular destination for foreign tourists not only for its beaches but also for its local culture. The area is particularly famous for its towns like Marbella, which provides the Costa del Sol with its reputation for being a playground for its super-rich and famous visitors.

A golf enthusiast’s paradise

In recent years the Costa Del Sol has become known to golf enthusiasts as the 'Costa Del Golf' due to the number of high quality golf courses, more than fifty, of which many are centred around Marbella. Attracting golfers from all over Europe and the rest of the world, the Costa del Sol has benefited from the stimulation provided by this sport to growth in tourism and to the resulting increase in development of new complexes to house the number of golfers visiting the area.

An interesting mixture of architectural styles

The Costa del Sol is heavily urbanised, with a wide ribbon of densely-packed buildings running along most of the coast. Architectural styles are a mixture of low-rise, whitewashed villas and developments of high-rise apartment blocks concentrated in the tourist resorts. While many of the villas and other single dwellings are designed and built in the local Andalusian-style, the purpose-built multi-dwelling blocks have little harmony with the geography of the area.

Dubai

Dubai - one of the seven United Arab Emirates - is considered to be one of the desirable real estate opportunities in the world. It’s the fastest growing city in the world and has been rated by Interpol as one of the safest countries in which to live, which many may find hard to believe from what they have heard about the Middle East. Fortunately, none of that applies in Dubai. This little country strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East is fast becoming the premier vacation and tourism destination of the region.

Incredible growth

Over the past decade the number of visitors to Dubai has grown from 1.08 million to 5.4 million, representing a growth rate of 16% per year. More astonishing is that the past 5 years alone have supplied a 54% growth rate. Over 3.4 million tourists visited Dubai in 2001 and this figure is expected to grow to an excess of 6.0 million by 2010, forecasting 200,000 visitors a day. It is also estimated that it will take 6-10 years for the supply of hotels to catch up with demand.

So much to do!

Dubai is truly a place where East meets West: the sun shines there every day of the year, and all the western modern facilities and infrastructure fuse together with eastern hospitality! From beautiful beaches and clear aqua blue seas to indoor ski domes, an underwater hotel and unparalleled skylines, there is never a shortage of things to do in Dubai.

Fuerteventura

Over 70 kilometers of pristine white beaches, an unbeatable climate, friendly people and sugar cube villages. These are some of the reasons why the Canaries' second largest island is becoming a Mecca for those seeking a picture postcard lifestyle.
With virtually the same climate as Florida and Mexico, Fuerteventura is like an all over tonic where you can't help but feel the stresses and strains of a North European winter disappearing over the horizon with the setting sun. For clouds and rain imagine a seamless stretch of sapphire blue with 360 days of sunshine per year; for the fumes of traffic torment think clean ocean breeze from a coastline never far away; for industrial hi-rise cities picture sugar cube villages and tiny fishing hamlets.
It's not hard to understand why the local Majoreros (inhabitants of Fuerteventura) are welcoming so many second home-owners and new residents. Some of the most popular areas for visitors are the capital - Puerto del Rosario, Corralejo in the north, Caleta de Fuste on the east coast and Morro Jable at the Fuerteventura’s southernmost point

Lanzarote

A combination of a fabulous climate, proximity to all major European Airports, a modern infrastructure, EU membership, a buoyant tourist economy, an open banking system and a finite amount of land have provided the vehicle for great property returns over the last ten years. The Island has seen average annual capital appreciation of over 10% for the past ten years.

The perfect place to buy

The all year sunshine and hence tourist season has provided an excellent background for both rental returns and for those seeking to buy both a holiday home or a permanent residence.

Murcia

Located at the South-East corner of the Iberian Peninsula, between the regions of Andalusia, Castile-La Mancha and Valencia, the region of Murcia occupies an area of 11,317 km2 (2.2% of the total surface area of Spain).

Hot summers and mild winters

The region of Murcia has the typical Mediterranean semi-arid subtropical climate: namely an average annual temperature of 18ºC, with hot summers and mild winters. Murcia has just over 170 km of coastline: coves and small beaches alternate with rocky shores and sheer, craggy cliffs.

A nature lover’s paradise

The Murcian littoral offers on the one hand unprotected shores with wild seas and on the other small coves with calm, placid waters. Sand-dunes, beaches, salt-water lagoons, mud-flats... the Murcia coastline includes numerous places of unquestionable interest to the naturalist. Not surprisingly many of these have been declared Protected Natural Areas, spots where even in our times you can find autoctonous species of flora and fauna, such as the Sabina mora, an autoctonous tree variety, or the fartet, a tiny, unique species of fish.

Relax and enjoy

The region of Murcia falls historically and geographically into a number of districts which agglutinate the 45 townships making up this uniprovincial autonomous community, all of which in turn depend on Murcia, the regional capital.

The interior of the Murcia Region is ideal for those in search of relaxation, nature, sport and good food. The mountains here are full of wild game and woodland, and crowned with castles, fortresses, hermitages and convents. Stories and ancient legends enshroud these evocative, welcoming parts, inviting you with their robust, tasty cuisine to enjoy a few days´ relaxation in the fresh country air.

Experience traditional lifestyles

Quiet, sleepy towns, such as Moratalla, Mula, Bullas, Cehegín, Caravaca, Jumilla, Yecla, and numerous other localities open their doors to visitors and residents in search of new, tranquil sensations - those who want to lose themselves for a few hours among holms, pines, oaks and junipers, visit archaeological sites, experience traditional lifestyles, and, to get their strength back, sit down to a hearty stew, some migas or a tasty dish of game, accompanied by a fine bottle of local Denominación de Origen wine.

Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the seven islands that make up the Canary Islands. It is to Tenerife that the first tourists flock, closely followed by those looking for a permanent home or holiday home in the sun. The island is one of contrasts: the hot dry south is very different from the lush, green north, and quiet villages co-exist with what have long been busy tourist destinations.

Spectacular coastline

With a fascinating history and fantastic climate, Tenerife is definitely a hot spot in more ways than one. The south of the island, which incorporates Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, has some great beaches and water sports abound with windsurfing, wet bikes, sailing, water skiing, deep sea fishing and scuba diving. Boat trips can whisk you off to visit scenic spots around the island's often spectacular coastline such as the amazing cliffs of Los Gigantes or to see the pods of whales and dolphins that have made the warm waters off Tenerife's southern coast their home. If you wish to be more energetic, there are hundreds of hiking trails throughout the island's many parks - among them the Las Cañadas de Teide, home to the huge volcano that dominates the island.

Something for everyone

Touring the island either on two wheels or four makes for great sightseeing and if you don’t feel like going it alone, there are many organised outings such as jeep safaris, quad bike adventures and downhill biking. For the culture vultures, the island is rich in history with beautiful old buildings and churches gracing the old towns of La Oratava and La Laguna and a fair share of museums located throughout the island. Golf lovers won’t be disappointed, with no fewer than six courses operating around the island (five within 15km of each other) and plans for more in the future already afoot. For the little ones, there are animal parks such as the fabulous Loro Park near Puerto de la Cruz and for more permanent residents, international schools cater for all ages.

Vibrant nightlife & International cuisine

Last but definitely not least is the island’s nightlife whether you want to dance 'til the sun comes up in modern discos, sing your heart out at Karaoke, play a quiet game of bridge or take in a show, the island has it all and more!

If you are a lover of fine food, the islands will certainly not disappoint. The local Canarian cuisine is delicious with its papas arrugadas (salty potatoes in their skins) and spicy mojo sauces; delicious seafood and traditional game stews. International dishes from all over the globe can also be found in many of the busier places around the island.

Turkey

The historic palette of Turkey is traced to Stone Age settlements constructed in 7500 BC, and here, today, unforgettable names like Troy and the Trojan War, Homer, Cyrus the Great, Alexander the Great, the Holy Roman Empire and the Medieval Crusades leap from the pages of its ancient history. Many relics and ruins of some still stand for all to view.

Overrun, conquered, and eventually lost by a litany of forces over eons, the modern country of Turkey was founded in 1923 from the Anatolian remnants of the defeated Ottoman Empire by its national hero Mustafa KEMAL, later honored with the title Ataturk, or ‘Father of the Turks’. Under his authoritarian (and rather effective) leadership, the country adopted wide-ranging social, legal, and political reforms. In 1950, an experiment with multi-party politics led to election victory of the opposition Democratic Party and the peaceful transfer of power. Since then - as in many new democracies - there were periods of instability and intermittent military coups, which in each case resulted in the return of political power to civilians.

Through it all the unflappable spirit of the Turkish people has prevailed, and in recent years the government has undertaken many reforms to strengthen its democracy and economy, so it can eventually join the European Union.

Turkey is geographically, politically and officially part of two continents - Europe and Asia. The smaller northwestern portion (Thrace) is part of Europe, while the larger portion (Anatolia) is part of Asia.

As exotic and riveting tourism destinations go, some say Turkey has no peer. Why not find out for yourself?
