Commercial Property investments

Hi All
Commercial Property took a bit of a rap this year after all the big gains to be made over the previous years but do people still think it's a good investment. I myself have a ISA fund in European Commercial Property and it was the only one of my funds constantly down over this past fewe months (until this week that is :o()

I'm told (via reading Accountancy magazines) that the UK market is unattractive because of the buy in price but retail premises in Europe (exc. Germany) are a more attractive option over the next few years. The Nordic area (Stockholm in paricular) seems to be the top choice, followed by Italy. Myself - I am taking an interest in retail property in Dublin (but thats just cause my brother lives there, is involved in commerical construction has a good knowledge on this sort of thing, nothing done or dusted just yet). Again - with the way mortgages are going, the yield on rental may just about cover all bases inititally.
