Research from Savills Private Finance has found that over half of landlords polled plan to purchase investment property overseas.
Around 15% of landlords already own property abroad, while others are enticed by the low cost euro and dollar loans available at present, and cheaper property prices than in the UK.
Our view
Overseas property is not always an attractive option, indeed to taxes on profits in the UK, there are many legal minefields and a huge variation of taxes overseas.
