Other properties are intended for locals, who have their own set of requirements and typically lower budgets,” Georg Chmiel of Juwai said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The new legal structure has yet to be fully fleshed out. The 50-year lease term could be worrying. And the economy has been shaken to its foundations by the fallout from the pandemic. We advise our buyers to exercise caution and good sense while seeking profitable investments,” Chmiel said.<\/p>\n
