Press Release Body: What is the future of international property investment? In an
age when many countries have only recently opened up politically and economically,
the possibilities seem far more extensive than they were a generation ago. This has
seen plenty of excitement over eastern Europe, fascination with Asia and interest in
small but booming cases such as Cape Verde or Cyprus. Naturally enough, the
circumstances, attractions and potential difficulties vary between each case,
meaning that some new markets are better than others.

One key question is whether any of this leaves the traditional market out in the
cold is it a case that the new markets are a flash in the pan, or that, conversely,
the traditional hotspots are turning cold as the flame burns brighter elsewhere?

The answer, according to Paul Collins, property editor at investor magazine
BuyAssociation, is neither. In his view, it is possible for existing markets to
continue doing well alongside the emergence of new ones.

He said: \"France and Spain will always be popular for overseas property buyers
purely because they are places that we like to visit. You will get people buying for
lifestyle and also to try and let the places out because they\'re the places that
people want to visit and that isn\'t going to change.\"

Yet at the same time, there were many other places he believed would emerge in
far-flung places, including in Asia.

But for those who are investing in new markets, Mr Collins said, it was important
not to get starry-eyed. If people want to make more money from buying property, they
have to follow the same golden rules that apply everywhere: \"You have to do exactly
the same thing as you do in the UK, which is assess the investment opportunity as
carefully as you possibly can.\"

He concluded: \"As long as you do all these things there are some fantastic
opportunities out there to get into economies that are growing significantly.\"

Good research may have many aspects to it. For instance, one of the most highly
publicised emerging economies and property markets in recent times is India
property. Those keen to get involved in investing in Indian real estate on the
subcontinent may be keen to go where the best economic development is, such as the
special economic zones that have been set up to attract international investment.
With a growing middle class and a rising nouveau riche both providing residential
property opportunities, this may seem an exciting situation to be involved in.

But the fast pace of change may catch some out. For example, those looking at
investing where the IT industry is booming may assume Bangalore is the place to go.
Hitherto this may have been the case, but the Times of India has suggested
otherwise. In an article today, the paper explains that Chennai is catching up fast
and suggest it may steal top spot in the next three to five years. Such a
development may offer investors a choice between two locations, while those with
their finger on the pulse will be able to see which city emerges on top in the years
ahead. When it comes to emerging markets, one key to finding the best places to
invest is to see exactly what is emerging and where,
as the picture may change as fast as these economies grow.

In today\'s world Property investment is an excellent investment option especially
investment in UK
