The scenery in Romania is stunning and unspoilt, the cost of skiing is very low compared to the rest of Europe, the coast is superb and the Romanians are very welcoming.
As a pure investment or even as a holiday home or apartment, Brasov in Transylvania offers one of the highest potential returns as its location near the ski resorts, its infrastructural developments (new airport to be completed in 2008, “Super Highway”), and its lovely traditional town center makes Brasov one of the most sought after locations in Romania.
The coast and its sandy beaches will see a high development of tourism from Western Europeans who are only starting discovering the beauties of Romania.
The investments in Bucharest (shopping centers, off-plan, resales) started a few years ago,
and as such the prices have already gone up in and around Bucharest. The potential, though still substantial, needs to be assessed very carefully.
Prices are very cheap in rural areas but you need to be prepared to spend some time and to have renovation expenditures for your property to achieve British standards.
