The market within the
UK has started to cool; Sellers are now only receiving 93% of asking prices
for their UK homes according to a recent BBC news article. This is an
indication of buyers realising the UK market does not currently offer value
for money. This is in stark contrast to buyers seeing the value they can get
for their money in other foreign markets. France, Italy and Spain remain
popular this month and the growth in investor money moving to the new EU
nations and increasingly exotic locations continues to be evident. |

Guide to Buying in Italy |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Italy, known
for its wine, weather and beautiful landscapes and architecture has been
a favourite location of UK buyers since the 1950’s.
Tuscany is one of Europe’s premier playgrounds for the elite to
relax and retreat from hectic lifestyles. Yet many affordable parts of
Tuscany and Italy as a whole can still be found. The growth in buyers
looking at the southern coasts, and cities such as Venice, Naples and
Milan, mean there is increasing demand for UK buyers to understand the
marketplace and the buying process of this wonderful European nation.

|
|
|
|

When buying
in Italy rule number one is ensure that your estate agent is registered
with the Italian “camera di commercio” Chamber of Commerce. Other
important organisations that agents should be members of to show there
legitimacy are the F.I.A.I.P. and the A.I.C.I. (Federazione italiana
Agenti Imobilari Professionali and the Associazione delle Istituzione
Cultuali Italiane). These trade bodies are strong indicators of an
estate agents credentials, more information on the organisations can be
found at www.fiaip.it
and www.aici.it. |

Too much heat in Winter Olympic property? by Adam Irish |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vancouver Canada has been
chosen to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. What impact has the
International Olympic Committees decision made on the real estate
markets of Vancouver and Whistler / Blackcomb? A surge in developments,
a surge in real estate professionals working in Vancouver and a surge in
prices have lead some to question if the hype surrounding the Games has
over inflated the property market of the area. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vancouver is a cosmopolitan
city boasting a distinctive west coast culture and a real estate market
that has seen growth attributed to a number of factors including the
growing wealth of its residents, its standing as a one of the most
beautiful cities to live and work in the world and its increasing
importance in the Canadian economy as a whole. The growth in prices seen
in recent years in districts of the city such as New Westminster and
Richmond indicates that the city itself is going through a surge in
prices regardless of the successful bid for the Winter Games in 2010.
The case is less clear in the resort of Whistler. |
