London, Surrey (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- You can't open a newspaper at the moment without seeing a report on Britain's financial crisis and the end of the housing boom. First time buyers are finding it almost impossible to get a foot on the property ladder and now homeowners and investors are facing potential negative equity on the value of their properties. Even celebrities like Orlando Bloom, Leona Lewis and Jonathan Woodgate have spoken out about the high property prices in London, which are causing them to consider other options.

For a long time, buy to let properties in Britain have been a secure venture for UK investors, but is it now time to start looking further a field?
Simon Ryeland - Director of Principal International Properties and specialist with 17 years in property investment, is clear that there are still good property investments out there, as long as you know where to look.

Over the last few years many emerging overseas markets have experienced strong rental yields and capital growth and provided a far more profitable solution than the UK market."
And it seems that the obvious destination for buying investment property overseas - Spain - isn't necessarily the best value for money.
"Spain is now generally considered as an area mainly for lifestyle purchases and we would encourage investors to look further afield." Says Simon.
Investors put off by overcrowded beaches, recent concerns over illegally built homes and the strength of the Euro against the Pound have good reason to consider other emerging markets.

One of the biggest considerations is the current value of the pound against the US dollar. Put simply, with an almost two to one exchange rate, your pound will go a lot further in countries associated with the US dollar than those associated with the Euro. And this means there are a lot of exciting property investment opportunities out there.
