"France top for 'Buy-to-Let' investments"

- so ran the headline from 'aboutproperty.co.uk's Property News section, to be found in full here.

Some interesting highlights from the article:

Buy-to-let investors are receiving on average a 92 per cent return on investments in property in France, according to a study by property investment specialist Assetz.

Assetz based its figures on the initial capital outlay required, rental yields, capital growth and mortgage costs.

Buy-to-let returns in the UK are 35 per cent, behind both Spain (47 per cent) and Bulgaria (59 per cent).

Investment Breakdown:

France
Property price: £150,000 Deposit: £22,500

Capital gains: 78.9 per cent
Total return on investment: 91.8 per cent
