Real Estate Property Investment Series: Focus Estonia 2007
Posted by alibabarika in Estonia Articles on September 7, 2010
Estonia is a relatively recent addition to the European Union having joined in 2004, and it is one of the most successful and affluent of the new members too. In just a few short years the Estonian government transformed theirs into a modern market economy and by 2007 Estonians’ per capita GDP, as measured using the purchasing power parity method, will be on a par with Portugal’s which sits at around 70% of the EU average…an impressive rise in economic fortunes in such a short period of time.
Contributing to the economic success of the nation is the fact that Estonia has an attractive flat tax rate, it has developed impressive electronics and telecommunications sectors and has strong trade links with some of the more affluent nations surrounding it such as Finland and some of the largest economies in mainland Europe such as Germany. The rise in economic fortunes of Estonia has seen unemployment halve in a few short years and as GDP has grown so has the mortgage market in Estonia – it has grown by 80% in actual fact.

Property investors are targeting the tiny Eastern European country of Estonia with a vengeance because it offers massive and sustainable long term potential for profit and property price gains with real estate prices having already increased by as much as 30% in just three years.
The popularity of this breathtakingly beautiful country stems from many different points: firstly the country is an economic success story. Having escaped the domination of Soviet rule back in 1991 it has since established strong trade links with Finland, Sweden and Germany and now has a GDP growth rate of around 6% annually. Secondly the government of Estonia is committed to the promotion of foreign direct investment and to this end it offers some impressive tax breaks to companies who establish themselves in Estonia.

Estonia is a lowland country situated in North Eastern Europe. It borders on the Baltic Sea, and the gulf of Finland in the north, Latvia to the south and Russia in the east. Estonia has a flat, unharmed landscape with more than one thousand lakes and has over seven thousand rivers and streams. Nearly half of its landscape is covered by woodland and forest.
For someone who enjoys skating or ice fishing, Estonia in the winter can be a great place to visit. Its winters can get very cold, but thanks to the North Atlantic Gulf Stream the summers remain quite mild. The best time to visit Estonia is during the months of May through to September, July usually being the warmest month of the year.
