From the Author
Romania is becoming an increasingly popular destination for
UK property investors, especially since Channel 4 positioned Romania at the
top of the property investment league in its January 2006 programme `20
Best Places to Make Money'.

This book presents the essential economic and demographic factors that
earned Romania the number one property investment position. It also
provides important information about the political, geographic and
historical climate in Romania. Whilst an investment should always be
preceded by appropriate research especially when venturing overseas, the
access to quality, reliable information about investing in Romania is still
cumbersome.

The goal of this book is to simplify your preparations and be a valuable
guide and companion for your property investment in Romania. Most British
people have limited knowledge about Romania and in many cases their opinion
was formed mainly from negative media coverage.

Moving beyond Ceausescu and Dracula, there is so much to discover -
majestic mountains, breathtaking lakes, soft, sandy beaches, peaceful
villages, as well as a vibrant city life.

Whether you are considering a short or long-term investment or a holiday
home for your own use, this book takes you step by step through the
process.

We look at any problems and how they can be avoided. We show you how buying
property or land in Romania can be a straightforward experience.

Ultimately I hope this guide will serve as a valuable starting point for
your investment in Romania and assist you in your preparations. Wishing you
good fortune with your property investment.

Customer Reviews

Excellent!!
I read this book in two hours. It is nonbiased, easy to read and it covers all important aspects you should consider when investing overseas. I really liked the fact that it talks about all the negative aspects (which we all know exist but many people don't like to talk about). Things like `the bad estate agents', corruption or undeclared money are explained and tips on how to avoid them are given.
You get a good overview of the country, the people and most importantly the property market, best locations to invest in, how to buy, how to do your research, your due diligence, how to minimise the risks and so on. It talks about cheap property, renovation property, off plan, land; it really covers everything. This guy really knows his stuff.
He also has a company here in London and I called their offices up. I was impressed!
They seem very professional and can talk to you about Romania and the property market in depth. Most other companies I talked to who sell property in Romania didn't seem to have the general understanding of the market and couldn't answer my questions satisfactory. These people can tell you anything you want to know about different cities and compare different properties that are on the market.

A easy but very informative read!
This book is packed with all the details you need to know before buying property or land in Romania. As well as looking at the positive elements it also looks at the problems and the risks and tells you how to manage the risks. Its really easy to read and provides a very balanced view of the opportunities available. It's also packed with really interesting facts about Romania and even gives some details of the food and wine. A very interesting read.

An essential read
This book really is an essential read if you are thinking about investing in Romania or just weighing up the options.

Alex gives a very balanced view of the opportunities (and risks) and covers all aspects of buying in Romania;
- Economic evaluation and forecasts
- Location and buying options; off plan, renovation, even land
- Pros and Cons
- Legal
- Buying process

This book has some really impressive endorsements from independent property experts, there is even a contribution on the legal side from John Howell of the Internation law partnership - if you've ever been to a good property exhibition you'll know he's worth listening to.

This really is the most comprehensive and unbiased source of information on Romanian property currently available, ( far better than days of internet research, property exhibitions and viewing trips combined ) and was the only way I could objectively assess the investment options.

The best. I've spent in a long time!
