The hottest topic in property - what's your view?
When the Financial Times published an article predicting a UK property price crash we were quick to respond, and the debate that followed on our Forums was phenomenal. It's still going on and both myself and property expert Hamish Paterson have had our say with two articles on the website, adding to our first on Monday. We'll go into more detail later in this newsletter...

This IS the hottest property topic around at the moment - don't miss out.
Ok, so our article in response to the FT piece has generated such a reaction that I just had to respond personally and invite property expert and investor Hamish Paterson to do the same. You can read both our articles from this page and we definitely want to hear what you think.
David Lawrenson has examined what the Sportelli Judgment means. Never heard of it? If you are planning on buying a freehold or extending your lease you need to...
David also asks whether you would accept tenants with pets or not. Maybe you should - it could give you an advantage over other landlords. IF you lay down the law first!
The British are said to be pet lovers, but that probably doesn't go for all UK landlords! Here's what you should do to guard against those pesky pet problems...
We've focused on Polish 2nd tier city Katowice. Property Secrets has taken a long hard look at the place, analysed all the data and we believe it is the next location you should be considering for investment. Alongside the article - which can be read here - we've produced a Special Report, which goes into much greater detail.
The Romanian mortgage market continues to expand and improve, and our editorial team have discovered a few more products coming to the market over the last few weeks. After some thorough investigation into this, we've published an article giving you the full facts. You can get the details by clicking here.

Property Secrets is delighted to offer investors our first deal in Katowice, a city located in the southern region of Silesia, Poland.
Oak Terraces will be developed by a leading developer in Central Europe that completed the neighbouring Silesia City Centre shopping and entertainment complex in November 2005.
The development is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of the city centre and next to the citys main park and shopping complex. Property Secrets believe this development offers great resale and rental potential as it is the first development of this scale in the city.

What do you all think of Malaysia then? A property hotspot?
We've produced a Malaysia Property Profile, examining not only the property market, but the country as a whole; Kuala Lumpur in particular and the economic and political factors that influence all our investment decisions.
We think that the country has plenty to offer, but perhaps the risks outweigh them, especially when there are much better opportunities closer to home - namely Central and Eastern Europe.
Why not take a look for yourself, make your own decisions based on our thorough research and your own. Give us your opinion using the Sentimentometer and the mini-survey on our brand new Malaysia Property page.
We'd be very interested to know what you think about Malaysia - so tell us!
Depending on the interest in this country, we'll delve even deeper over the coming months to find out even more.
I hope you've enjoyed this newsletter and if you have any questions, queries or suggestions please drop me a line at: service@propertysecrets.net
I look forward to hearing from you.
Happy investing!
