Investors are predicting European quantitative easing will boost already robust property markets across the continent even further in the next couple of years, as yield-hungry investors switch out of bonds in search of income.

Interest in real estate has been boosted by the announcement by the European Central Bank that it would launch a quantitative easing programme that could amount to €1.1 trillion. Investors have noted that similar programmes in the UK and the US led to strong increases in property prices.
