Upstate New York property is increasingly popular with investors looking to the US, an expert has commented.

Director of Mayfair International Realty Annette Reeve said that while Florida in general – particularly Orlando – is the most popular location for British buyers, the New York property scene is offering attractive alternatives.

She remarked: "If you can get it right then you can fly in and out of New York for not a huge amount of money and some of the upstate parts of New York are lovely," adding that these are popular areas with investors.

Ms Reeve’s comments come as a new poll has emerged showing US property to be more popular with investors than last year.

The Jet-to-Let magazine survey revealed that the country is now the third most popular location for investors, up from fifth last year.

France, Spain, Italy and Turkey were also among the top ten.
