Hello,

We often forget about Slovenia, a safe country to invest (and such a beautiful one!). Futhermore properties are still very affordable and the environment great.
The location makes Slovenia a great destination for Saling, skiing, mountain biking, hiking and also for the great quality of the food.

For example, here is a house in a vineyard at the top of a hill in Lendavaske gorice (east of Slovenia): lendava(.)webs(.)com.

In addition to good advices from Jane Dunlop I would advice everybody to investigate carefully investment vehicle you are planning to inverst in. What have they done?

Roughly speaking there are two kind of investors at Russian real estate markets: 1) Those who are investing, and 2) those who keep saying that they will invest but in fact does not manage to do so.

In Russia you loose face rather fast in case of the latter. Once you loose it in Russia you might as well close the shop.

Consider exhausting all avenues of investment in your own country before investing overseas.

Remember agents make money from sourcing ‘investment’ properties for you and many will tell you anything to secure a sale.

Double the normal amount of due diligence before investing overseas.

Relatively cheap in poland? LOL. Do you know how much office space is available on the market? Signs up “for rent” all over the place + buildings being finished that started when there was a building frenzy 2 years ago will make sure that the market is going to be hard. Lets see how many of the developers roll over.

If you are going to invest in property abroad, then good advice is to:

a) use the assistance of a UK company familiar with the country, to assist you.

b) choose a country whose language you know

c) do LOTS of research on the market by yourself before you visit the area.

Investing in the new Eu countries can be quite interesting, especially Poland which has a fast growing economy and gdp. Property still is relatively cheap and demand for office buildings and shopping malls is sharply rising.
