Cape Verde 'worth considering now'

The archipelago of Cape Verde is becoming an increasingly attractive investment option, a market expert has claimed.

Cape Verde's government has worked hard to make the country more accessible for the international community, with enough success for it to be held up as a model for other emerging nations, according to ShelterOffshore.

Those thinking of buying property in Cape Verde may be encouraged to learn that there are currently plans to increase the number of airports and that property can cost as little as €1,200 (£950) per sq metre.

Rhiannon Davies, director of ShelterOffshore, said: "Now is a good time to consider investment if you like the thought of entering an emerging market and having access to the potential profits and returns it may offer."

Around half the population of Cape Verde lives on the island of Santiago, yet the biggest tourist island is Sal which currently boasts the only international airport.
