All articles →Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — June 2026
June’s briefing is a one-time Score reset: Netherlands, Ireland and Poland cluster at the top; Spain, Portugal and Czechia remain in withdrawal; Greece is at peak; Germany and the UK move toward recovery; Romania enters the Virtual Portfolio.
Global Investor Briefing — May 2026
Scores were stable this month — the real stories are a generational currency window for shekel buyers, Greece emerging as a withdrawal candidate while Spain surprisingly holds at peak, and three markets moving from correction into recovery.
The Silent Wealth Migration: Capital Flight from the UK to Cyprus and the UAE
The UK Non-Dom regime is dead. CASABROVA tracks where UHNWI capital is flowing — and the luxury property squeeze it will trigger in Cyprus and Dubai.
Market Review — Cardiff
Cardiff is the Welsh capital and a growing investment destination. The Bay redevelopment, new BBC headquarters, and a major university create diverse tenant demand. Cathays, Roath, and Cardiff Bay are popular investment areas. Rental yields of 5-7% are achievable, with prices significantly below other UK capitals.
