Czech vs UK property shows

Exactly two of weeks ago I attended a property exhibition here in Prague called ForArch.

The ForArch exhition was a combination of property for sale, furniture, kitchens, fires, building materials and so on, and took place in the new exhibition halls in Letnany, Prague, where there is a new stop on the metro line C.

What really struck me was not that it was slightly different from a UK property show but that the place was absolutely packed full of people (and this was on a Friday morning!). It was so busy it was almost annoying.

This is in sharp contrast to the recent property shows in the UK which have either been cancelled or, like this years Property Investor Show, a complete disaster due to such a low turn out.

I'm not suggesting you should invest in a certain market just because how busy their respective property shows are but it does give an interesting indication of the relative demand for property today in the two countries.
