Best Countries in Europe for Real Estate Investment

Are you looking to expand your investment horizons? You should consider looking to Europe, which has some of the world’s best buy to let hotspots. Here you can find a wide range of rental properties and off-plan developments which offer excellent returns, high demand as well as the potential for capital appreciation. To help you seek out a successful investment, take a look at some of Europe’s top buy to let locations which will help you boost your property portfolio.

Ireland

One of the leading locations for property investment is Ireland, which was actually named Europe’s most attractive buy to let destination for three years running. Here you can find average rental yields of 6.64% with a rental income tax of 10.05% which enables investors to generate significant returns. Another benefit of investing in properties in Ireland is that demand is high, however, investors should expect to fork out a high amount especially in city-centre locations.

Portugal

For those investors looking for a bargain investment, you should look to Portugal. The city of Lisbon is known as one of the most affordable capitals in Western Europe for both investors and tenants. This will enable significant interest from renters who are looking for a low-cost lifestyle combined with the charm of one of the top-rated European destinations.

UK

Despite Brexit worries, the UK is still one of the top buy-to-let hotspots in Europe due to its high rental yields in certain parts of the country. Despite London’s house price demise, opportunists have capitalised on properties which once on the market for extortionate prices but are now more affordable than ever. While the capital is still a focus of interest, investors are looking outwards, as according to research by RWinvest, cities like Manchester and Liverpool are leading the way in residential property investment with yields up to 5% in city-centre locations. These yields are expected to surge due to the significant amount of regeneration happening in these major cities, which is set to completely transform the north-west.

Cyprus

Another European country to take the property world by storm is Cyprus, which may come as a surprise to some investors. Many may remember the country once faced crisis back in 2013, however the economy has bounced back causing investors to flock to the Cyprian island. Many have found success here due to its surging rental yields up to 7%. This is due to a significant amount of ongoing development popping up around the coastal country, which has enabled an increase of investment from property experts all over the world.

Italy

Investors looking to purchase luxury properties would find success in Italy, one of the most culturally-rich countries in the world. Here they can cater to professionals in cities like Milan who are looking to benefit from employment opportunities and top healthcare services in a well-connected European country. On the flip side, if you’re looking to cater to families should look towards more affordable areas like Apulia, which is actually the heel of Italy’s boot that offers the perfect location for families looking to settle down in a quiet area by the coast.
