With 2007 fast approaching, property investors will be looking ahead to see how property prices are going to change over the next 12 months and asking the same questions we are - where will the best growth be...and does that mean we should invest there? Not always, as Property Secrets' CEO Neil Lewis explains.

"We aim to find investment locations that offer superior growth potential for a lower risk. These are usually markets that other people think are risky, boring or dull. But, by using fuzzy analysis we believe that we can pick out the markets that have been unfairly overlooked or wrongly judged as dull. We also tend to avoid the markets that everyone else is jumping into - and especially new holiday home markets."

Property Secrets' team of analysts and researchers has examined a huge range of property markets, applied our own special brand of Fuzzy Analysis (for a full explanation of 'fuzzy analysis', click here !) and now give our expectations for 2007.

"Predicting the future of property markets is far from a science," says our Head of Research & Analysis Simon Tweddle.

"But with the right mixture of hard data and 'fuzzy analysis' you can make educated projections. It's all about analysing the past, looking at what is happening now and taking that forward...as well as really knowing the markets. There's no substitute for that."
