The Overseas Property Professional (OPP) magazine is the only print publication dedicated to companies and individuals working in, or with an interest in, the overseas property industry.
OPP magazine is not a consumer magazine and so is not read by people who want to buy houses. It is a trade magazine and so addresses the issues that are important to you as an overseas property agent or developer, an international property lawyer, a property media owner, an overseas property mortgage provider or broker, an IFA, a foreign exchange broker or indeed anyone with an interest in selling their products and services in the UK overseas property market. Every month the magazine includes:
the latest industry news - industry trends - analysis of issues - profiles and interviews -
research and statistics - product reviews - new real estates development reviews
Published 12 times a year OPP magazine is only available by subscription and provides a vital platform for debate on the most pressing issues of the day and is the essential read for those facing the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry. Click here to subscribe now.

The OPP provides regular updates, comment and analysis on trends and activity in the overseas property industry. Together, the magazine and web site will help you to source, recognise and capitalise on new commercial opportunities within the overseas property sector.
The OPP covers a broad range of subject matter including how to build and diversify your company sales portfolio, how to streamline and improve your sales and marketing strategies, how to analyse and source better the overseas property marketing media that you use to generate leads.
