Despite the fact that Bulgaria joined the European Union on the 1st of January 2007, its laws and legislation relating to the purchase of immovable property are not yet in line with the EU norm and buyers will actually have to wait until 2014 before they can directly purchase freehold title to any piece of land or landed real estate in Bulgaria.
As it stands at the moment the buying process in Bulgaria flags up two potential purchase methods for buyers – they can either establish a local limited company and purchase their land and property through the company and thus obtain freehold rights to the property – or they can forego their right to own the land outright and either purchase a simple apartment or buy limited rights to the land such as ‘leasehold’ equivalent or construction rights.

There would appear to be a distinct division of opinion with regards to property investment in Eastern Europe at the moment with the bulls and the bears going head to head and challenging opinions about the potential for sustainable growth in the markets of Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria and Romania for example. Whilst it is pretty obvious for anyone to see that Latvia’s bubble is about to burst, the picture is less clear when you focus on Romania.
Romania’s star has not shone as brightly as others in this region and so some believe that there is ongoing potential to profit from various investment strategies in Romania’s property markets – others are choosing to bank on IMF’s Albert Jaeger’s findings – he believes that with Romania’s economy having expanded by 5.6% in Q2 2007, there are signs that it could now overheat. Personally we think there are reasons to rethink Romania for property investment.

Filed in Property News for Malaysia
Malaysian 2008 pre-budget information is being analyzed and theorized over in local and international press at the moment, and because the budget’s theme is ‘Enhancing Competitiveness and Sharing Economic Prosperity’, you can quite clearly see that this could bode exceptionally well for the international property investor climate in Malaysia going forward throughout 2008 and beyond...and you would be perfectly correct in your assumption!
Word has it that the government is wholly committed to its positive investment encouraging strategies and is even contemplating actively enhancing Malaysia’s competitive edge – not just in the region but globally; so, in terms of the Malaysian property sector and Malaysia’s budget 2008, there is plenty to be positive about for at least the medium term.

As we’ve been discussing at Amberlamb now for some weeks, Brazil is becoming more popular by the day and even the popular British press is promoting the highlights of the nation from a property perspective. Basically the word is out about Brazil and the exceptional opportunity that it currently represents in terms of real estate investment potential.
There is massive untapped potential across the nation but it is the northeast of the country that’s getting the most attention because of its improving accessibility, it’s low crime statistics, it’s high desirability as a holiday location and its wealth of real estate for sale – but who buys property in Brazil and why?

There’s a lot of chatter in the media at the moment about whether or not the property market in Cyprus is going to further boom following the adoption of the Euro or decline in terms of investor activity because prices have appreciated so rapidly and so substantially that affordability is becoming an issue.
Cyprus property and the Euro effect is certainly on everyone’s lips among those involved in the real estate industry both on the island and internationally, and there seems to be no firm consensus of opinion about which way the market will go in 2008…
