With recent interest in properties from the Baltic States and Eastern Europe the Worldwide Property Show will be showcasing property form this region. The EU membership and cheap flights promise a sunny future for property in the Balkans. It is been called Europe's affordable Riviera but that is only partly true. Instead of the elegant high rise apartments and developments you will find charming walled cities stepped in history. Rich buyers form the west and post communist countries have been buying up bargains and driving up prices. A visit to the Worldwide Property Show will offer you an opportunity to view properties from this region.

The off-plan purchase option has interested many buyers as well. So how can an individual family or corporate investor stay one step ahead when choosing an investment or holiday home in international residential property? The smart money has now swung away from resale or second hand homes, into buying direct from the developer "off plan".

The advantages of buying a new apartment, town house or villa are that deposits required to secure them are fairly low particularly if the build time is longer. Also the developer can fine-tune the actual style of the property if required and because you are paying him in advance on an early phase of the construction, the purchase price will be very competitive as well.

At the show you will meet over 35 handpicked leading developers, estate agents, solicitors and lenders and will also see all the latest homes for sale. Many of the projects on display are being launched for the first time in Dubai, so take advantage of some early reservation offers!
