House prices still 50% over-valued...
...according to the Economist

UK's better, just 34% overpriced. The report's based on comparing the current ratio of house prices to rents with its long-term average

Buy to lets have been a bad investment on the Costas for a long time , a scabby terraced house in Lancashire is a better investment
but most investors buy with their heart.

Only if its for the buyer to live in but not if its for a buy to let , the annual return of a 300k costa apartment is very poor compared to certain UK houses.
Gibraltar also appear very good for buy to let but Ive not looked into it properly yet.
