Britain's Foreign Office says it is advising Britons not to buy property in Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories or the Golan Heights.
The ministry says home buyers should consider the possible consequences of future peace deals between Israel, the Palestinians and Syria. The ministry says it will post the warning on its Web site.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Friday there will inevitably be changes to settlements under any peace deal.
Brown held talks Tuesday with Israel's outgoing prime minister, Ehud Olmert, and raised the issue of settlements. Britain has backed Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's call for Israel not to expand West Bank settlements.
Israel's London embassy was not immediately available to comment.
