The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
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 — Manchester
Manchester is the undisputed capital of UK buy-to-let investing outside London. At £3,000–5,000/sqm, it is a third of London prices while delivering superior yields: 6.5–7.8% LTR and 7–10% STR. The city's economy is driven by financial services, media (BBC, ITV), tech, and two of Europe's biggest football clubs — creating diverse, resilient rental demand.
STR is largely unregulated in Manchester — no annual cap, no licensing requirement (unlike London and Edinburgh). This makes it one of the few major UK cities where dual-strategy (STR in peak season, LTR for baseline) is fully viable. Year-over-year growth of 3.2% is steady, and the city is benefiting from the government's "levelling up" agenda directing infrastructure spending northward.
The investor profile is heavily institutional: build-to-rent developments are proliferating, and Manchester is the #1 city in the UK for overseas investor purchases. Areas to watch: Northern Quarter and Ancoats for STR, Salford Quays for waterfront LTR, and Hulme/Moss Side for value LTR with regeneration upside. Risk: UK stamp duty for foreign buyers adds 2% surcharge on top of standard rates, and mortgage rates remain elevated. For Israeli investors, Manchester offers something rare: institutional-grade yields in a Tier 1 economy with pound diversification.
