A Guide to Trinidad and Tobago's Property Market: Two Islands, Two Distinct Stories
Trinidad and Tobago offers something few Caribbean markets can: genuine economic diversification behind the property market, rather than a single tourism-led narrative. Trinidad's energy-anchored economy and Tobago's tourism and villa market give the twin-island republic two very different investment cases under one flag — and for Chestertons Global, it's a market where that distinction is worth exploring in full.
Marrakech Real Estate: Villas, Riads & Investment Opportunities
Marrakech has long drawn travellers with its ochre walls and mountain backdrop. Increasingly, it's drawing buyers too. From riads tucked into the medina to golf-course villas on the city's edge, the Red City has become one of North Africa's more closely watched real estate markets — and the reasons go beyond climate and culture.
A Guide to the British Overseas Territories Property Market
Not every Caribbean property market sits outside a national framework. Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos are all British Overseas Territories — a status that brings a shared constitutional link to the United Kingdom, English common law, and a level of regulatory familiarity that international buyers consistently value. For Chestertons Global, these three territories represent a distinct and growing area of focus as our Caribbean network expands.
Marbella Q2 2026: inside one of Spain's most expensive markets
For Chestertons Marbella, the second quarter of 2026 confirmed what many buyers and sellers already sense on the ground: this remains one of Spain's most expensive residential markets, but the pace of growth is beginning to change.Average residential asking prices in Marbella reached €5,906 per square metre in June 2026, according to Idealista. That figure is 4.5% higher than a year earlier, but only 0.7% above the level recorded in March. The progression through the quarter was steady rather than dramatic: €5,866 per square metre in March, €5,880 in April, €5,900 in May, and €5,906 in June.
Life in Romania: What Buyers Are Really Choosing
There is a version of the Romania story told entirely in yields and price-per-square-metre. It is a good story — some of the strongest rental returns in the European Union, and entry prices well below Warsaw or Prague. But it is rarely the reason buyers say they made the right decision.The real draw is harder to put in a spreadsheet: a capital that feels genuinely alive, mountains and medieval towns within two hours of home, and a coastline that still empties out enough to feel like your own. Romania is one of the most varied countries in the EU — and, from Bucharest, most of it is a half-day trip.
Romania's property market steadies: a Q2 2026 update from Chestertons Romania
Chestertons Romania has released its market analysis for the second quarter of 2026, and the picture is one of quiet stabilisation rather than dramatic movement in either direction. According to Costin Rusu, CMO of Chestertons Romania, national transaction volumes held broadly flat year on year, even as the monthly pattern told a more encouraging story as the quarter progressed.
