Cape Verde 'is a property goldmine'

Cape Verde has been flagged up as a potentially lucrative emerging property market.

According to Property Wire, the west African archipelago is currently benefiting from ongoing infrastructure improvements.

For example, a new international airport and ring road are now operating in the capital city Praia.

However, the website said Cape Verde has so far managed to avoid becoming overdeveloped, and remains a pleasant and unspoiled location.

This has prompted Property Wire to describe the country as a "goldmine" for investors, as it offers lifestyle attractions and a growing market.

The website commented: "Cape Verde is regarded by many analysts as a good example of how an emerging market can grow steadily without falling into over development traps."

Cape Verde was recently praised by a property expert for offering strong investment potential.

Jo Sinnott, who hosts Real Estate TV's Next Big Thing, told Property Wire that the country is an "ideal" location for foreign buyers to consider.
