The Caribbean hurricane season will be officially over as of 30th November, when the winter season begins in the rest of the world. This is when the islands will see an influx of tourists from Europe and America, as they try to escape the cold of their home country.

It is also around November time that all the serious property investors start to look around the islands, looking for properties in which to live or simply invest as a holiday home or a buy-to-let property.

If you are looking at investing in the Caribbean, then now is the ideal time to plan your trip as British Airways have increased the number of flights to Trinidad, Barbados and St. Lucia due to high demand and a greater number of visitors. From the end of October there will also be more flights to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.

The Caribbean property market does not tend to follow international trends, so don’t expect to find general reductions, however a lot of properties have fallen in price due to the global financial shake-up. The devaluation of the US Dollar means there are still some bargains to be found.
