Europe

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) is a made up of four countries of immense diversity, tradition and culture. Beautiful countryside, islands, moors, craggy mountains and cliffs, rolling hills, shorelines and beaches, it has scenery as varied as its people. The UK investment property may include any one of the four individual countries that make up the United Kingdom: England; Scotland; Wales and Northern Ireland. There are also a number of islands, in particular the Scottish island groups of the Shetlands and the Orkneys, the English Scilly Isles and Isle of Wight and the Welsh island of Anglesey. The British Isles are to be found off the western extremity of continental Europe, separated from it by the English Channel and the North Sea. The climate is temperate in nature, and in the words of William Blake, you see “England’s green and pleasant land”. All of these complicated factors make UK investment property very lucrative.

Buying Property in Estonia

Situated in northern Europe, much of Estonia is actually surrounded by the Baltic Sea and land locked between Latvia and Russia. Since the demise of communism and the lifting of the so called “Iron Curtain” many countries such as Estonia have taken a greater interest in the European Union and the potential for economic stability at last. After a period of waiting, Estonia was finally admitted to the Union in May 2004 and the economy has mostly definitely benefited from increased trade and investment.

Property in Romania

Situated in the south eastern corner of Europe, Romania was for many years very heavily dependent on the Soviet Union. Since the demise of the Soviet Union slowly but surely the country is starting to show signs of genuine growth although there is still much to do.

In line with the move to become more involved in Europe, Romania joined the European Union on 1st January 2007. The country is the 7th largest in the EU with a population in the region of 22 million, but by land mass it is ranked 9th. The history of Romania is heavily influenced by the surrounding countries of Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria although the country does have vital access to the Black sea trade routes.

Property in Croatia

Located in the southern area of Europe, Croatia is bordered by the likes of Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Italy (by sea). Even though the country is well positioned for both international trade as well as tourism, the economy has been very subdued over the last decade. It is only in the run-up to full membership of the European Union (talks are expected to resume in 2007) that there have been real signs of improvement.

Property Market in The Czech Republic

Situated in central Europe, the Czech Republic (formerly known as Czechoslovakia prior to the break up) is land locked by Poland, Germany, Austria and Slovakia. While the country covers some 78,000 km2, it only has a population of just over 10 million. Over the last 20 years the country has been at the centre of much infighting and politician upheaval, but the situation seems to be more under control these days, and the economy is has been fairly up beat since the last recession which ended in 1999.

Property Guide to Latvia

Latvia is situated in northern Europe, sharing borders with the likes of Estonia, Lithuania, Russia and Belarus and just over the Baltic Sea from Sweden.

Property in North Cyprus

Cyprus was a former British colony which gained independence from the UK in 1960 after an uprising against British rule. The history of this island is blighted by fierce tensions and conflict between the Greek Cypriot majority in the south, and Turkish Cypriot minority in the north, which came to a head in 1963 when fighting broke out between the two parties. UN peacekeepers were deployed in 1964 and there is still a highly visible presence there to this day, in the form of a buffer zone policed by the UN. There is still also a British military presence on the island which has assisted the UN in calming tensions over recent times. In 1983 the North area of the island declared independence as the “Turkish Republic of North Cyprus” although this is not recognised by any country other than Turkey. This history and conflict makes North Cyprus property a very complex area of investment to fully understand.

Newsflash

According to Arab historians, the origin of Meknes dates back to the Roman Period. It is thought that Meknes might be a forward post for the Roman city, Volubilis. Etched in every corner of Meknes are unique arts and crafts, lively markets, incorporated neighborhoods, intricate gardens, enormous gates, colossal walls, and great monuments that are an attestation to the History of Meknes. In 1996 Meknes was classified as a World heritage site for the edification and pleasure of humanity.

Meknes is the Versailles of Morocco, unfortunately the majestic design of the Royal Palace for the sultan Moulay Ismail was left unfinished. Today the city is the center of trading and producing citrus, cereal crops, wine and olives.

The ancient city is not as well maintained as the others found in Morocco, but the royal palace encompasses most of it. A tyrant in many words, the Sultan Moulay Ismail who ruled for 55 years during the 1700 commissioned the building of a massive royal palace. Despite his apparent penchant for huge undertakings in terms of building, Ismail never achieved his desire of making Meknes an Imperial city to beckon awe and inspiration. Meknes has always had this sense of emptiness that not even the recently constructed French city can overcome.
