Gujarat is a state in the West of India with a landscape that dates back to the Bronze Age. The area's history, combined with its miles of coasts and ancient docks makes it a vibrant, increasingly sought-after destination for overseas buyers and tourists. In fact, the popular hotspot Surat City was recently ranked one of the fastest growing cities in the world. The city of Gujarat is also one of the fastest growing cities in the whole of India and has become a firm focus for international investors looking to generate healthy returns with quality properties. Investment in the local infrastructure and in new property developments in general has been enormous over recent years, triggering a spike in both interest and in property values. Buying in is still comparatively cheap, which makes the prospect of rent yields in the region of 3 per cent to 5 per cent anything but unappealing.
