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 — Leeds
Leeds has firmly established itself as the financial capital of northern England, hosting the UK's largest cluster of financial and legal services outside London. Major employers including PwC, KPMG, and Channel 4's new headquarters drive demand for quality rental accommodation across the city.
Property prices averaging £180,000–250,000 for city-center apartments represent a fraction of London equivalents, while gross rental yields of 5.5–7% consistently outperform southern markets. The £500 million South Bank regeneration project is creating thousands of new jobs and fundamentally reshaping the city's southern corridor.
With HS2 planned to connect Leeds to London in under two hours, the city is poised for significant transport-driven appreciation. Leeds' combination of established professional employment, ongoing regeneration, and relative affordability makes it one of the UK's most balanced investment opportunities.
