Property in key markets, including Cape Verde, France and Bulgaria, remains profitable for British investors.

"In spite of a continuing slowdown in capital growth across the global property market, it remains an exciting time for investors worldwide," said Stuart Law, managing director of Assetz, as quoted by AboutProperty.co.uk web site.

In eastern Europe Bulgaria remains the runaway leader. The country presently produces an average 84 per cent return on capital investment, well ahead of Poland in second place.

"It is becoming increasingly possible for buyers to obtain the highest possible returns on cash invested, with the increasingly competitive mortgages available on the market, even in less established locations, offsetting any slowdown in price growth," continued Law.

"Investors now have the capabilities to leverage their money in a way that affords them the chance to take home a significant percentage against any initial outlay".
