What it means for investors

Apartments — the type most in demand among buy-to-let investors — are appreciating the most. This is consistent with strong rental demand driven by tourism and foreign workers on the island.

Past performance does not guarantee future results: what matters most when assessing a property is the area and its rental demand. Read our guide to the areas or browse available properties.
