Cape Verde 'is an ideal investment market'

The Cape Verde islands have been praised by a property expert for offering strong investment potential.

Jo Sinnott, who hosts Real Estate TV's Next Big Thing, said the west African archipelago offers attractions such as year-round sunshine and easy access from Europe.

This, she continued, has led to the country trying to position itself as a top-end holiday destination.

Therefore, Ms Sinnott believes the market could be set to experience considerable growth over the next few years - a development which may be lucrative for foreign property owners.

Speaking to Property Wire, she commented: "I personally think [the islands] are ideal for a holiday and more specifically for investment."

Ms Sinnott added that it is "easy to see" why Cape Verde is being marketed as "Europe's Caribbean".

According to property experts NuBricks.com, the west African nation has become an "overseas property hotspot" in recent years.
