British couple extol the virtues of Cape Verde

A couple from Bognor Regis in West Sussex have highlighted why Cape Verde is an ideal place to make a property investment.

Dave and Trisha Hunter have bought a property on Sal island and believe their purchase will make them money in a short space of time, reports the Sun.

Indeed, having added to their property portfolio recently, they are certain that they would have already made a profit if they were to sell now. Accessibility from the UK, a hot climate and the islands' ability to host major events such as the windsurfing world cup all highlight its credentials as an investment location.

Mr Hunter told the newspaper: "In four or five years property prices are going to double or even treble and if you want it as an investment then this is the place to be."

He added that they have a quieter spot worked out when more tourists decide to purchase property in Cape Verde. In fact, it was on a holiday to the islands - located just off the coast of West Africa - that the couple made the decision to relocate there permanently themselves.
