To help you compare the profitability of the buy-to-let property in the different countries,
we have assembled a range of data.
These statistics and other data may look intimidating, but they are all relevant. They're key
data - how much rent you will earn, how much you will be taxed, stamp duty, and other cots
when you buy and sell (buy/sell costs) your rights in the face of awkward tenants (landlord
rights), and how fast property prices and the country's economy have been growing. All
columns are sortable for easy comparison.
