The Global Property Guide's country ratings

to

Country ratings are based on 9 factors:

• Gross rental yield
• Income tax
• Capital gains tax
• Round-trip transaction costs
• Potential landlord and tenant problems
• Long-term GDP growth
• Potential over-supply
• Affordability
• A view of long-term appeal to investors

Ratings of different countries can be compared in several ways:

1. Worldwide country rating comparison

2. Continent-wide rating comparisons

Click on the "Rank" box above the continent, you'll get data for all the countries in Europe. Sort countries by name, by star rating or by yield.
