Press Release Body: Those looking for an exciting opportunity to invest in India
property overseas may look at many possibilities, with the more adventurous
wondering what new, exciting markets might be out there.

Naturally enough, anyone investigating such possibilities and going about it in a
sensible fashion will investigate the legal, financial, transport and commercial
issues involved in such a venture.

In addition to this, many overseas investors will look at wider issues, such as
stability. This can include economic stability, of course, the sort of thing which
may make some regard Cyprus as a better prospect now it is in the eurozone. But
there may also be the issue of social and political instability.

For those investing in European markets such as France, Germany, Portugal or Spain,
such matters are seldom of much concern. Those looking at Cape Verde may note that
it has a peaceful, stable, two-party democracy. But other countries are not so
lucky.

Hetal Shah, a director of overseas property firm Investors Provident, said those
looking at countries where there is instability should \"wait and watch\" before
parting with their money, noting that there is a potential for bargains to be
snapped up when instability or unrest created problems, if there is a reasonable
expectation that things would soon return to normal.

For many investors, of course, that may sound like too much of a risk. Mr Shah noted
that issues of instability could also apply to countries whose contiguous neighbours
were having problems.

Luckily, Mr Shah stated, this did not apply to India, one of the new markets which
has attracted the most recent investment as its economy grows rapidly, despite the
present turbulent events in neighbouring Pakistan.

He stated: \"India is a massive country and Pakistan, although smaller, is a large
country and both are independent in their own right. What is happening in Pakistan
is a political issue and the whole country isn\'t affected, it is in particular parts
of the county, [so Indian property investment] isn\'t affected.\"

This may be just as well, for the rise of India\'s economy, a well-documented trend,
is expected by some to be one of the major factors in the development of the world
economy in the 21st century. In such circumstances, property investors in both the
commercial and residential sectors many expect to find many opportunities in the
country as wealth grows and demand for homes which fit with western standards of
living rises.

As an example of this, Bangalore, the IT capital of the country, used up nine
million square ft of India commercial property in 2007 and demand was for four
million more, according to a report by overseas real estate firm Cushman &
Wakefield, moneycontrol.com reported.

The report also noted that shortfalls in demand exist in other cities, such as
Chennai and Mumbai.

With India\'s property market booming and other cities offering their own
opportunities, such as Delhi\'s plan to use the 2010 commonwealth games to help its
development the same way Glasgow is doing with 2014 and London is doing with the
2012 Olympics, the opportunities may continue growing. If India can indeed remain on
course despite the problems of its neighbour, then the overseas investor could have
a bright future in the country.

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