Show Preview: The Property Investor Show 19-20th April 2012

Launched 10 years ago at Londons Excel in 2002, The Property Investor Show has over the last decade established itself as the definitive event for the UKs property investor community.

While the litany of copycat events that have come and (largely) gone is quite long, this event has survived and prospered - not so much by reinventing itself - but by always remembering that its role is to reflect the state of the industry and present its issues and initiatives in a live environment. And because of this it continues to attract the largest turnout of exhibitors and visitors of any UK property investment event.

Looking at recent shows, perhaps the best example of change has been the inclusion of a live property auction on the Friday afternoon - not only an entertaining spectacle but an opportunity to witness investors investing in real time - and buying property across the country. The auction at the last show disposed of over £6m pounds worth of property in under three hours so expect another busy session in April.

The international section of the show has also reflected changing trends. While Spain remains a hardy perennial of UK buyer interest, the mid-noughties saw large areas of the hall given over to big turnouts from locations as diverse as Eastern Europe, Cyprus and the UAE. Indeed the most recent presentation included an India Pavilion - another show first.
