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 — London
London remains the world's most global property market, offering unmatched liquidity and institutional-grade infrastructure for property investors. Average prices of ~£535,000 ($670,000) reflect premium positioning, but yields vary dramatically by zone: Zone 1 central London delivers 3–4% LTR, while Zone 2–3 areas like Stratford, Lewisham, and Barking offer 5–6% with strong capital growth potential driven by Crossrail and regeneration projects.
The UK tax regime is complex but navigable: Stamp Duty Land Tax starts at 5% for properties over £250,000 (additional 3% surcharge for second homes), and non-resident buyers face a further 2% surcharge. However, rental income can be offset against mortgage interest (basic rate), and the market's depth means exit liquidity is rarely a concern.
Key considerations: London's population density and chronic housing shortage create structural demand that supports both rents and prices through economic cycles. For Israeli investors, direct flights from TLV to London (5 hours) and the large Israeli community in North London provide operational familiarity. Sterling exposure adds currency diversification versus shekel-heavy portfolios.
