British property investors should seriously consider expanding their horizons and choose a more far-flung destination to enhance their portfolio, an expert has said.
Peter Conradi, editor of the Sunday Times property section, has said that long-haul destinations such as Thailand are particularly attractive because they offer cheap property prices, a long rental season and affordable flight access.
He also asserted that Egypt and Morocco are other long-haul countries places to consider, reports property news blog Nubricks.com.

He added: "It does all come down to research and understanding exactly what your potential renters will want and having realistic expectations about the kind of returns that you can make."
