They has double-digit capital appreciation coupled with strong rental demand and not to mention no Capital Gains Tax after owning the property for five years make it one of the world's best property investment opportunities. The government also has strong incentives for external investment from other countries.''
Thousands of Brits are choosing to move abroad and the Balkan states are proving very popular. There are now 10,800 Brits living in Bulgaria, while another 9,500 have moved to Romania.

Thanks for useful information. Last few month I'm thinking about invest in Prague property, because it is best time to do it. The Prague property market has and continues to see overwhelming demand from both foreign and local investors. And who wouldn't like to own a property in this fairytale city that pulls at your heart strings and attracts major foreign investors on the basis of economics.
