Song Saa Island Resort Launch Event Receives Unprecedented Response  - News in Cambodia

Song Saa Island Resort Launch Event Receives Unprece­dented Response — News in Cambodia

Echo Beach Set to be a Hit

Not just a hit song by Martha and the Muffins, Echo Beach in South Aus­tralia is also likely to be a hit with prop­erty investors look­ing for excel­lent, and pos­si­bly spec­tac­u­lar, gains with min­i­mal cap­i­tal risk. DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd has prime plots in Echo Beach, Beach­port, Aus­tralia for sale, with a price tag start­ing from as low as the cost of a fit­ted kitchen.

The Aus­tralian prop­erty mar­ket is show­ing strength now. David Airey, pres­i­dent of the Real Estate Insti­tute of Aus­tralia said last week

“I’ve been des­per­ately try­ing not to call it but I think we’ve seen the bot­tom and we’re see­ing investors com­ing back into the market”

Land tra­di­tion­ally appre­ci­ates faster than houses, and an inde­pen­dent ana­lyst recently reported

“Based on expe­ri­ence and research we con­ser­v­a­tively esti­mate that cap­i­tal growth for this coastal prop­erty (Echo Beach) with­out plan­ning per­mis­sion would range from 10–15 per­cent per annum.”

How­ever gains for investors in this inno­v­a­tive project could eas­ily be far higher – and here’s why.

Enhanced plan­ning is cur­rently being sought by the devel­op­ers of Echo Beach to build eco homes. The local coun­cil have indi­cated to them that they are

“…very sup­port­ive of devel­op­ment that is con­sis­tent with the nat­ural envi­ron­ment and seeks to pre­serve nat­ural veg­e­ta­tion, par­tic­u­larly in Coastal areas. The coun­cil are will­ing to work with you on this project to pro­duce an out­come that best sat­is­fies all par­ties involved.”

If enhanced plan­ning per­mis­sion is granted, as seems likely, investors could be look­ing at an addi­tional 500–1,000% increase in asset value, again based on inde­pen­dent mar­ket esti­mates. You would be pushed to get this rate of return from invest­ing in a fluke penny stock, yet here you have a real­is­tic chance of a prop­erty ten-bagger from a secure invest­ment in land.

Echo Beach is located in the pic­turesque sea­side town of Beach­port, on the world famous, fossil-rich Lime­stone Coast, just over an hour’s drive from Mount Gam­bier, the second-largest city in South Aus­tralia. Tens of thou­sands of tourists come every year to enjoy its relaxed atmos­phere and stun­ning coast­line and to bathe or walk on wide stretches of beach. The clear, shel­tered waters of Riv­oli Bay are per­fect for all denom­i­na­tions of water sports.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd are offer­ing Echo Beach beach­front and direct ocean view land in this unique devel­op­ment of 65 acres, with plots from 500 sq m upwards, start­ing from £15,000 and ris­ing to £30,000.

Malaysian property market set to reap lucrative rewards for investors

News has just been released by Thinkproperty.my, a highly rep­utable news source spe­cial­is­ing in the Malaysian prop­erty mar­ket, that there are strong signs that that the mar­ket is going from strength to strength, mak­ing a pop­u­lar choice with investors.

Said Asim Qureshi, CEO of Thinkproperty.my has said that “data con­firms that con­fi­dence has truly returned back into the Malaysian prop­erty mar­ket. The results of this sur­vey sug­gest that we will see higher prices over the next few months, which will in turn likely lead to fur­ther con­fi­dence. Now is an excel­lent time to buy.”

The mar­ket has seen a 3% rise in equity and the sur­vey also revealed that 61% of respon­dents favoured invest­ing in the prop­erty mar­ket than the other two main classes of investment.

“Now is an excel­lent time to buy. Inter­est rates are low, banks are becom­ing increas­ingly aggres­sive, and of course, mar­ket con­fi­dence is returning.”

This report bol­sters the pre­dic­tions that the Malaysian prop­erty mar­ket will reap lucra­tive rewards for investors who buy now in the future. David Red­fern, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. also com­mented that “the report indi­cates some very pos­i­tive news for investors. We’ve had our eye on Malaysia for quite some time as we knew there would be excel­lent returns on prop­er­ties, which is why we’ve included some pres­ti­gious vil­las in our portfolio.”

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd have a num­ber of lux­u­ri­ous vil­las avail­able in two exclu­sive loca­tions in Malaysia. If the prop­er­ties are bought now they could be worth a for­tune in com­par­i­son with their cur­rent prices.

One loca­tion is the beau­ti­ful island of Langkawi which boasts ancient rain­forests, land­scaped gar­dens and spec­tac­u­lar sea views. Whilst the vil­las have been spe­cially designed to incor­po­rate a tra­di­tional Asian design whilst main­tain­ing a mod­ern feel. Vil­las have there own pool, 24 hr secu­rity with up to 70% financ­ing avail­able. There is also Kudat Karma, a lux­ury estate of pri­vate vil­las with heli­copter ser­vices, spa and gym, restau­rant and bars with exten­sive land and sea based activities.

If you are con­sid­er­ing own­ing a peace of par­adise that could one day pro­vide with a high finan­cial return then these oppor­tu­ni­ties are surely not to be missed. As the recent report has shown, now really is the time to buy as the low Malaysian prices can­not last much longer.

Tree Houses in Koro : Living off the Grid within Nature’s Bounty

On May 6, 1789, after the Mutiny, Cap­tain Bligh man­aged to find the time to observe “the island of Koro is of good height… Noth­ing can exceed its beauty. I place it in 17° 11“S.” His first impres­sions were cor­rect – it does indeed lie at 17° 11“S and it is exceed­ingly beautiful.

Koro is a dor­mant vol­canic Island cov­ered in lush trop­i­cal for­est and sur­rounded by coves and beaches. Though eas­ily acces­si­ble by weekly flight from main­land Fiji, or via var­i­ous nau­ti­cal routes, it is still largely undeveloped.

In Fiji 9% of island land is ear­marked for free­hold for­eign own­er­ship, afford­ing early bird West­ern­ers a chance to buy a slice of Par­adise at emerg­ing mar­ket prices. Later as infra­struc­ture fol­lows the inevitable flow of enlight­ened émigrés seek­ing the trop­i­cal good life, prices will be marked up markedly.

There are builders in Fiji and Koro who can work to your spec­i­fi­ca­tions, but there are a num­ber of things you need to be aware of first. Con­crete just does not jibe here on Koro – plus it is an uneco­nomic build­ing mate­r­ial to ship in. Instead the island’s own resources are employed, giv­ing all build­ings a cohe­sive look and ver­nac­u­lar charm. Houses are built from trop­i­cal hard­wood on ele­vated poles dri­ven into the for­est floor to allow for air cir­cu­la­tion. Designs that work have per­haps as much cov­ered veran­dah as enclosed area, and walls are vented to keep the rooms aired and com­fort­able. It’s the ‘House Style’ – tried and tested in the field.

If you plan to live or hol­i­day here, it is best to be pre­pared to ‘go with the flow’ in Koro

There are no grids. Water comes directly from the roof, or clear springs and streams. Gen­er­a­tors are frowned on, since they emit noise and other pol­lu­tion, and solar pan­els – elec­tric and direct water — plus deep-storage bat­ter­ies are used to pro­vide light, and power for appli­ances. Gas bot­tles are imported by boat, as must be any fancy food you want for cook­ing. For­tu­nately the inter­net and tele­coms have come to Koro, and you can order sup­plies to be sent from main­land del­i­catessen supermarkets.

Activ­i­ties on Koro include sun­bathing on white sand beaches, swim­ming and div­ing, and fish­ing and sail­ing on crys­tal clear water. (The end of the Great Bar­rier Reef extends to Fiji pro­tect­ing it from poten­tial Tsunamis and pro­vid­ing a haven for a huge range of trop­i­cal fish.)

A grav­elled road runs around the island, along the coast, pass­ing through 14 main vil­lages. Being part of a for­mer British Colony the legal sys­tem is sim­i­lar to ours, and the locals are used to English-speaking for­eign­ers, see­ing as their clos­est major neigh­bours are Aus­tralia and New Zealand.

David Red­fern of DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd said this about Koro :

“Koro has the poten­tial to become one of the most unique des­ti­na­tions in the Pacific, com­bin­ing unri­valled nat­ural beauty with sus­tain­able devel­op­ment and low-impact tourism… We can offer a range of plots in dif­fer­ent loca­tions from as low as £16,000… we can also help to guide you when it comes to build­ing your own ideal home if you chose to do so.”

Thailand Investment Property

Thai­land: The sheer stun­ning beauty of Thai­land in South­east Asia is won­der­fully accen­tu­ated the close prox­im­ity of bor­der­ing Cam­bo­dia, Laos, the Gulf of Thai­land, Malaysia, the Andaman Sea and Myan­mar, Thailand’s equally stun­ning neighbours.

Set­ting the glo­ri­ous scene in one of the worlds most breath­tak­ing regions that hosts seem­ingly end­less white beaches and con­stantly sun warmed, tran­quil blue waters well, who can resist?

Amidst a trop­i­cal cli­mate that sup­ports vast lush rain­forests and an array of fas­ci­nat­ing wildlife that dwell amongst it, Thai­land has it all. As allur­ing as the coun­try might be, wait until you meet the Thai peo­ple who unre­servedly wel­come you to their home with hos­pi­tal­ity and warmth, often doing all they can to accom­mo­date you and your every need.

Along with the com­mon­place, busy city sight­see­ing, scuba div­ing and snorkelling amidst the vibrant reefs is sim­ply a must too but, if water activ­i­ties aren’t for you, well you could always try ele­phant trekking.

DSR – Ride the Waves to Cambodian Island Paradise with Profits Song Saa" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/dsr-%e2%80%93-ride-the-waves-to-cambodian-island-paradise-with-profits-song-saa/" rel="bookmark">DSR – Ride the Waves to Cambodian Island Paradise with Profits Song Saa

The head of Cam­bo­dian Pub­lic Bank, Phan Ying Tong, told the Phnom Penh Post on Tues­day that although Cambodia’s prop­erty mar­ket is “still strug­gling” he is look­ing for improve­ment. “..in about six months.”

Mean­while The Jakarta Post is report­ing today that the prop­erty mar­ket is still falling in Singapore.

“Pri­vate res­i­den­tial prop­erty prices fell 5.9 per­cent in the sec­ond quar­ter from the pre­vi­ous quar­ter after plung­ing 14 per­cent in the first quar­ter, the Urban Rede­vel­op­ment Author­ity said Wednesday.”

On the same web-page, how­ever, the first linked story had the head­line Oil falls to $34 ahead of Feb con­tract expiry.

Mar­kets, like the sea­sons, move in waves. Today oil sits at $70 a bar­rel with $100 again in sight. Wor­ries about defla­tion are the veneer being lam­i­nated over the true pic­ture – one of emer­gent infla­tion. Oil is sig­nalling this, and in the UK real estate appears to have turned the cor­ner in defi­ance of eco­nomic gloom.

In cer­tain hotspots around the globe prices are firm­ing. Just as prop­erty in Ire­land rapidly caught up with main­land Britain, so there is every rea­son to sus­pect that Cam­bo­dia is going to equalise with the Asian vaca­tion dragon Thai­land, itself already emerg­ing from the downturn.

As Cam­bo­dia is dis­cov­ered there is now a real chance to keep the envi­ron­ment intact rather than over-develop. By learn­ing from the mis­takes of oth­ers while ben­e­fit­ing from new eco-technology and aware­ness, Cam­bo­dian prop­erty val­ues could eas­ily sur­pass those of Thai­land in the long run. With this in mind an eco-villa resort is being crafted on the tiny beau­ti­ful island pair known as Song Saa in Cambodia.

Only 5 vil­las will be built, along with bun­ga­lows, restau­rant, all the ‘usual’ ameni­ties expected of a 5 start resort. Mate­ri­als used in con­struc­tion will largely be sus­tain­able hard­woods, giv­ing a nat­ural ver­nac­u­lar look to the place that befits the pris­tine land­scape. The site is engi­neered to have zero neg­a­tive impact on the environment.

The Aus­tralian team devel­op­ing the islands hopes to set the bench­mark for future build­ing and con­ser­va­tion in Cam­bo­dian waters, and have even appointed a full time marine biol­o­gist to mon­i­tor the teem­ing coral reefs that sur­round it, as well as pro­vide guid­ance for snorkel­ers, fish­er­men and the like.

If you like the sound of this place in the sun built with sound sen­si­bil­i­ties and uncom­pro­mis­ing lux­ury, rest you will not be the only one. The mar­ket will finally decide the ulti­mate value of bou­tique resorts like Song Saa. Right now you can grab a piece of the action before the action really gets started.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd is offer­ing off-plan vil­las at Song Saa priced £270,000-£280,000. Each will be an absolute gem with empathic con­struc­tion and lux­ury inte­ri­ors of the first water.

David Red­fern of DSR is extremely enthu­si­as­tic about this truly unique and sen­si­tive project.

“Song Saa Resort will be the ulti­mate island hide­away, built in this beau­ti­ful, untouched cor­ner of the world, while only 30 min­utes boat trip from Sihanoukville and Cambodia’s newest inter­na­tional air­port,” he said.

Discreet Development in Luxuriant Langkawi : The Land of All One’s Wishes

‘Con­ser­va­tion means the great­est good to the great­est num­ber for the longest time.’ Thus spake early advo­cate Gif­ford Pin­chot. Then his posi­tion was rad­i­cal, now who would argue with it? Unfor­tu­nately noble aims some­times clash with com­merce, and many a stun­ning nat­ural land­scape has been blighted by insen­si­tive overbuilding.

Described as Malaysia’s best kept secret, Langkawi is an arch­i­pel­ago island sit­u­ated 30km off the west coast of Malaysia, sur­rounded by pris­tine white sand beaches, coral reefs, lime­stone coves and a fur­ther 98 minor islands with crys­tal clear waters. Inland is moun­tain­ous, cov­ered with ancient rain for­est and rid­dled with bat caves and tun­nels. Teem­ing with trop­i­cal flora and fauna, the marine biol­ogy is par­tic­u­larly diverse.

For­tu­nately devel­op­ment on the island has always been strictly con­trolled, more-so now since the area was des­ig­nated a UNESCO World Geop­ark in 2007. Qual­ity real estate on Langkawi is there­fore in very short sup­ply, and is set to be in increas­ing demand because direct flights from major cities like Lon­don are mak­ing the Langkawi expe­ri­ence more accessible

With nat­ural har­mony in mind Malaysia’s lead­ing her­itage archi­tect has designed a small num­ber of exclu­sive vil­las built in a traditional/contemporary Asian style that both blends with the local archi­tec­ture and deliv­ers the ulti­mate in lux­ury liv­ing. To this end indige­nous hard­woods and locally-quarried mar­ble have been used both out­side and in. Prop­er­ties come with pri­vate swim­ming pools, and are appointed to the high­est stan­dards. 7 of these stun­ning vil­las stand within 30,000 m2 of land­scaped gar­dens — all with spec­tac­u­lar views to the sea.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd is now sell­ing these unique invest­ment prop­erty assets — in one of the most sought-after loca­tions in the world — with the fol­low­ing addi­tional benefits:

Free­hold (rare in Asia)

24hr secu­rity

No local cap­i­tal gains tax

Up to 70% financ­ing available

Pur­chasers can have their prop­erty fully man­aged by a local hotel group with the poten­tial to gen­er­ate a healthy hassle-free rental income

Since 1987 Langkawi has had duty-free sta­tus and this has encour­aged tourism. Recog­nised as one of the most stun­ning resorts in the world by the cognoscenti it boasts 5* hotels, excel­lent shop­ping, superb mul­ti­cul­tural cui­sine and caters for a wide vari­ety of inter­ests and activ­i­ties includ­ing sail­ing, div­ing, golf, explor­ing and all man­ner of extreme sports. The great major­ity of the island’s res­i­dents speak English.

DSR The Philippines A Fantastic Emerging Market" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/dsr-the-philippines-a-fantastic-emerging-market/" rel="bookmark">DSR The Philippines A Fantastic Emerging Market

When most of us con­jure up images of the Philip­pines, we think of a far and exotic group of thou­sands of islands scat­tered in South­east Asia that is far removed from a West­ern­ised way of life.

How­ever the Philip­pines is actu­ally reputed to be the most West­ern­ised of all of the Asian coun­tries and has a lot to offer the prospec­tive investor as it pos­sesses an emerg­ing prop­erty mar­ket with huge potential.

It has long stand­ing roots with the West­ern world, it has a US and Span­ish cul­tural her­itage with its own unique flavour. It is also the third largest Eng­lish speak­ing coun­try and employs a demo­c­ra­tic form of gov­ern­ment (the metrop­o­lis of Manila being its cap­i­tal) both of which make doing busi­ness their much eas­ier than in other Asian countries.

The coun­try itself is a trop­i­cal par­adise, thou­sands of tourists are increas­ingly becom­ing aware of its nat­ural beauty, tem­per­ately warm cli­mate and gen­tle winds. It is said to be eco­log­i­cally one of the most diverse coun­tries in the world and is fast becom­ing the top tourist des­ti­na­tion in Asia, par­tic­u­larly for the Chi­nese who are just north of the islands. The increased tourism has increased the prop­erty mar­ket and this is set to continue.

The Philip­pines cur­rently has a wide range of prop­erty invest­ment to offer and con­trary to other parts of the world, Manila in par­tic­u­lar is said to be cur­rently under­go­ing a prop­erty boom and as such DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. has some excit­ing and lucra­tive oppor­tu­ni­ties for invest­ment to take advan­tage of the cur­rent eco­nomic sit­u­a­tion in Manila.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. have a num­ber of exclu­sive, styl­ish and mod­ern con­do­mini­ums at a num­ber of loca­tions across the cap­i­tal. In pres­ti­gious Raf­fles they are offer­ing condo’s (from £165,000) that can gen­er­ate a mas­sive 25% cap­i­tal growth with up to 80% financ­ing from a best in class developer.

Lower priced invest­ments are also avail­able, with ready-to-rent condo’s from around £30,000 that can still gen­er­ate 8–14% rental returns with a 30 day free usage allowance. There really are some fan­tas­tic invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties in the Philip­pines that are not to be missed.

Fiji Property Market set to soar

Fiji prop­erty is one of the newest kids on the prop­erty invest­ment block. To get an idea of the likely suc­cess of the Fiji prop­erty mar­ket we look at New Zealand. Growth in pop­u­lar­ity of Fiji prop­erty is because of the mas­sive explo­sion in tourism to Fiji, as peo­ple go in their thou­sands to scuba dive the coral reefs, swim in the turquoise blue waters and bask in the glo­ri­ous sunshine.

As Fiji prop­erty is new to the inter­na­tional mar­ket it is still pos­si­ble to pick up a real bar­gain, mak­ing it per­fect for hol­i­day home buy­ers and for investors.

Fiji Invest­ment Property

The low price and explo­sive poten­tial of Fiji prop­erty make it excel­lent for a short-term invest­ment. Fiji invest­ment prop­erty is pri­mar­ily on resorts, to cap­i­talise on the mas­sively ris­ing tourism to the gor­geous islands. Care­fully cho­sen, Fiji invest­ment prop­erty should grow in value by around 15–20% and pos­si­bly even as much as 30% depend­ing on where you buy. Although there are no defin­i­tive guides on rental yields yet, the best Fiji prop­erty com­mands a pre­mium on the hol­i­day let­tings mar­ket, and should see yields upwards of 10%.

Our Fiji Property

Our Fiji prop­erty is 450 acres of Fiji plan­ta­tion, due to become Koro Sea View Estates resort. The land has been divided and is being sold in indi­vid­ual plots. Smaller plots on the resort are going for as lit­tle as £16,000, giv­ing plenty of room for growth as Fiji prop­erty con­tin­ues its emer­gence onto the inter­na­tional prop­erty invest­ment scene.

Oz Land Prices Already On The Rise

News is being cir­cu­lated by inter­na­tional sources that Aus­tralian land prices are already ris­ing mak­ing now the time to invest, as the lat­est res­i­den­tial land report from the Hous­ing Indus­try Asso­ci­a­tion and RP Data shows the cost of land in Aus­tralia is now begin­ning to increase.

In the March quar­ter alone, land prices rose by a stag­ger­ing 7.4%, show­ing that the Aus­tralian prop­erty mar­ket, as pre­dicted by DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd., is surely going to grow from strength to strength in the coun­try in the near future, which is great news for investors.

Christo­pher Todd, invest­ment prop­erty research ana­lyst for DSR has com­mented that, “this is one of the signs that we have been wait­ing for. We have all been really push­ing for invest­ment in the coun­try because the mar­ket has been so great and this just shows it maybe already well on the road to recov­ery. Aus­tralia has responded to treat­ment so well by the gov­ern­ment and the investors are flock­ing there, and for good reason.”

Louis Christo­pher from SQM Research agrees that the prop­erty mar­ket is look­ing on the up, “higher land val­ues, bet­ter auc­tion clear­ance rates and an increase in hous­ing finance approvals indi­cate the worst could be over.”

The fact that land is already begin­ning to increase in value means that now is an excel­lent time to buy. If the prop­erty mar­ket con­tin­ues in this way, then as time goes on the mar­gin for profit will decrease for investors as prices will go up as the econ­omy recov­ers. Aus­tralia, par­tic­u­larly South Aus­tralia cur­rently has one of the most sta­ble prop­erty mar­kets in the world. Prices are cheap now but are set to rocket, as Australia’s econ­omy is one of the few in the world which is set to recover by next year, mean­ing investors really should not hang around for too long.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment have some safe, sim­ple and well planned invest­ments in the coun­try near Ade­laide in South Aus­tralia where the econ­omy is at its most sta­ble and con­tin­ues to grow (despite the reces­sion) in many areas. An invest­ment there could reap mas­sive rewards as the state is set to boom in the near future.

DSR are offer­ing prospec­tive investors look­ing for Land in aus­tralia for sale, beach front land plots on beau­ti­ful Echo Beach (as the report shows, land is already begin­ning to climb) from as lit­tle as £16,000 or houses in Lake­side, are more adven­tur­ous area that really does have it all. Both are capa­ble are mak­ing huge returns whilst in the sta­bil­ity of an estab­lished and strong market.

Australia Investments Not Down Under But Up and Up!

News has just been released that in con­trast to last years fig­ures, Aus­tralia is emerg­ing as one of the top three prop­erty invest­ment des­ti­na­tions for the whole world. it is now regarded as one of the best real estate invest­ment envi­ron­ments by top inter­na­tional com­pa­nies a recent sur­vey has revealed.

Low prop­erty prices and the rel­a­tively weak Aus­tralian dol­lar are mak­ing it very appeal­ing indeed to invest in prop­erty in the coun­try. The cur­rent con­di­tions will not last for­ever. Inter­na­tional com­pa­nies are well aware of the oppor­tu­ni­ties that Aus­tralia holds at a rel­a­tively low risk due to its eco­nomic sta­bil­ity as opposed to other countries.

A sur­vey of the inten­tions of the largest inter­na­tional real estate invest­ment com­pa­nies indi­cated that 41% of respon­dents pre­ferred Aus­tralia as their pre­ferred invest­ment des­ti­na­tion and a large major­ity put this down to the expected recov­ery and growth of the Aus­tralian econ­omy next year, mak­ing now the time to invest in Aus­tralia prop­erty.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. entirely agree with the fore­casts for Aus­tralia, and since now is the time to invest, have some excel­lent low risk, high gain invest­ments to choose from in beau­ti­ful Beach­port, on the South East Coast of Australia.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. have some oppor­tu­ni­ties to invest in beach front plots at Echo Beach, start­ing from as low as £15,000 and up to £30,000. There is a real pos­si­bil­ity for excel­lent returns on the plots alone (10–15% capi­tol growth per year), and sub­ject to plan­ning approval invest­ments could grow mul­ti­ples of hun­dreds of times.

It is no coin­ci­dence that Aus­tralia is now rated one of the top des­ti­na­tions to invest by inter­na­tional com­pa­nies, now is the per­fect time. The invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties that DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. are offer­ing are strictly lim­ited and will not be avail­able for too much longer.

Tunisia a Safe and Sensible Place to Invest

Tunisia may not imme­di­ately top the untrained investor’s list of good places to invest in. Most peo­ple think of a far away desert coun­try much removed from the West­ern way of life.

How­ever it is all too easy to for­get that Tunisia is in fact Africa’s north­ern most coun­try and just lit­er­ally a short plane hop from Europe to this actu­ally beau­ti­ful and exotic place with five star resorts, white sandy beaches, a deep and diverse cul­ture and of course fan­tas­tic weather.

This is pre­cisely what DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. saw and more when they added The Dunes to their port­fo­lio, an excit­ing, world class resort con­sist­ing of stu­dio to three bed­room apart­ments in Sousse, all right next to the marina, beach and airport.

Prices start from just £22,000 with an inde­pen­dently pre­dicted cap­i­tal growth of 25% when the devel­op­ment is fully con­structed, with 10–14% net rental returns. Also because of the nature of the resort, it’s facil­i­ties and of course Tunisia itself, it is sure to pro­vide a year round get away.

The prop­erty mar­ket in Tunisia only adds to the attrac­tive­ness of the oppor­tu­nity. It has recently been voted in the top five des­ti­na­tions for pro­vid­ing long term invest­ment gains and it already has one of the most devel­oped domes­tic prop­erty mar­kets in the world, with 75% of peo­ple own­ing their own homes (com­pared with 71% in the U.K.) mak­ing it very sta­ble and a def­i­nite for growth. Prof­its in Tunisia are cur­rently more likely because as an emerg­ing mar­ket, its prices are low but are strongly pre­dicted to climb, the IMF pre­dicted a 4% growth in Tunisia’s econ­omy by the end of this year alone.

Invest­ing prop­erty in coun­tries like Tunisia is seen as a safe bet because they do not have a boom and bust econ­omy that many more devel­oped nations do, mean­ing no sud­den dete­ri­o­ra­tion in mar­kets, and so no losses. Also Tourism remains to be an econ­omy that is grow­ing in Tunisia, so prop­er­ties like The Dunes are set to fol­low suit and increase in value. The returns from own­ing prop­erty abroad are much greater than leav­ing money in banks and for a while last year, arguably safer.

The cur­rent eco­nomic sit­u­a­tion really does mean that there is money to be made if invested in safe, strong, sta­ble and grow­ing mar­kets like that in Tunisia. DSR are offer­ing an excel­lent oppor­tu­nity to do so.

Finlandia Fantasia

In a new arti­cle scep­ti­cally enti­tled ‘Real Estate Recov­ery?’ Peter Lloyd noted “Then there was a very inter­est­ing arti­cle in a UK Sun­day news­pa­per which listed Thai­land as hav­ing the world’s third high­est price rises in the first 3 months of this year record­ing a 2.7% increase (Jer­sey and Fin­land with 5.6% and 4% increases were above Thai­land). I don’t know how they got their sta­tis­tics, but let’s assume there is some proof to jus­tify them, how­ever they were collated.”

I don’t know where they got their sta­tis­tics from either, but why on Earth would Fin­land be far­ing so well? After all, is it not one of those cold places like Ice­land, scene of the worst prop­erty crash in liv­ing mem­ory? Ice­land has Bjork and fish and toxic debt. What about Fin­land? Wait, what’s this com­ing down the newswire…

“Intel and Nokia Announce Strate­gic Rela­tion­ship to Shape Next Era of Mobile Com­put­ing Innovation”

“Fur­ther unit­ing the Inter­net with mobile phones and com­put­ers, Intel Cor­po­ra­tion and Nokia today announced a long-term rela­tion­ship to develop a new class of Intel® Architecture-based mobile com­put­ing device and chipset archi­tec­tures which will com­bine the per­for­mance of pow­er­ful com­put­ers with high-bandwidth mobile broad­band com­mu­ni­ca­tions and ubiq­ui­tous Inter­net connectivity.”

Thus spake the world-reknowned Earth­Times. So Fin­land is high tech. Then of course, Santa lives there, and that’s a seri­ously global brand, big­ger even than Nokia.

Koh Samui is known for its rich nat­ural resources and the unin­hab­ited moun­tain­ous jun­gles. Con­sid­ered as Thailand’s third largest island, the place has been attract­ing tourists from all parts of the world because of its nat­ural white sandy beaches and coral reefs. Its unspoiled pub­lic image has made the island’s tourism indus­try suc­cess­ful and brought forth the pros­per­ity of Thai­land invest­ment property.

The devel­op­ment of high and low-rise lux­ury vil­las, condo hotels and apart­ment has been real­ized due to the increas­ing demand of qual­ity and cost effi­cient resort homes.

Since 1980, tourism has been con­sid­ered the dom­i­nant indus­try in Koh Samui giv­ing rise to a more sta­ble econ­omy as noted by hav­ing its own air­port. The island’s cli­mate and acces­si­bil­ity also paved way for real estate ven­tures to prosper.

Song of the Saa Song Saa Island Resort

On Fri­day, while set­ting out pro­pos­als for new laws enabling for­eign­ers to buy into the local prop­erty mar­ket, Prime Min­is­ter Hun Sen of Cam­bo­dia enthused,

“Our coun­try is the best place for sec­ond homes where for­eign­ers can relax and stay when they retire,” he said. “Our coun­try is a des­ti­na­tion with intact nat­ural resources and good weather, and this is the right time to absorb cap­i­tal flow into Cambodia.”

In con­trast with Thai­land, Cambodia’s islands remain largely unde­vel­oped. Many are deserted, offer­ing stun­ning scenery, abun­dant marine life, and secluded white sandy beaches. Now the Aus­tralian Bro­con Group is aim­ing to prove it is pos­si­ble to blend lux­ury liv­ing with a pro­found con­ser­va­tion ethic in what is set to become a land­mark devel­op­ment in these pris­tine waters.

Today has seen five exclu­sive lux­ury two-bedroom vil­las released for sale on the tiny binary island sys­tem known affec­tion­ately as Song Saa – which means ‘The Sweet­hearts’ in Khmer – set in Cambodia’s unspoilt Koh Rong Arch­i­pel­ago. In all only 15 over-water and rain­for­est bun­ga­lows and vil­las are to be built on this exclu­sive trea­sure of an island.

Due for com­ple­tion in 2010 the Vil­las are con­structed largely from sus­tain­able for­est mate­ri­als, yield low car­bon emis­sions, and sport a waste recy­cling sys­tem that ensures noth­ing unto­ward ever reaches the sen­si­tive ocean environment.

Con­stantly mon­i­tor­ing the health of the teem­ing reefs that sur­round the island is a full-time marine biol­o­gist, who also helps teach local com­mu­ni­ties sus­tain­able fish­ing methods.

“This has been great for both the envi­ron­ment and the com­mu­nity but also pro­vides the added attrac­tion of hav­ing an expert on hand to take guests and villa own­ers out div­ing or snorkelling on the resort’s own reef,” said Song Saa’s founder and chair­man Mr Rory Hunter. “Song Saa will really be at the top end of the mar­ket for lux­ury resorts in Cam­bo­dia and will offer the unique expe­ri­ence of an exclu­sive pri­vate island hideaway,”

The rav­ish­ingly illus­trated online brochure lists the fol­low­ing key resort delights.

A five-star restau­rant and lounge will be con­structed over water so as to take full advan­tage of the islands’ spec­tac­u­lar sun­sets, seascapes and starry nights. A spa and well­ness cen­tre is to be set into the rain­for­est. A yoga and med­i­ta­tion cen­tre is planned for the east­ern shore, ideal for prac­tis­ing yoga at sun­rise. A beach­side water-sports cen­tre will offer sail­ing, div­ing, kayak­ing and snorkelling, and guests and res­i­dents alike will have access to a shared west-facing infin­ity edge swim­ming pool.

Drool­ing over the site map I noticed some­thing else. Right in the cen­tre of the island an area was intrigu­ingly marked ‘Star Gaz­ing Plat­form’. I won­der if the devel­op­ers could be per­suaded to throw in an astro­nom­i­cal tele­scope? Just for me?

Echo Beach a Safe and Clear Plan

In recent times of eco­nomic risk, every­one is now more than ever cau­tious about where they put their money. As such invest­ment prop­erty com­pa­nies are well aware that now more than ever they need to make their invest­ment schemes safer than ever before, giv­ing peace of mind to those who choose to invest with them.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. are pro­mot­ing an excel­lent oppor­tu­nity to pur­chase beach front land, that max­imises gain whilst main­tain­ing a low risk, in an idyl­lic loca­tion in South Aus­tralia on Echo Beach, Beachport.

Beach­port is a very attrac­tive des­ti­na­tion located on the Lime­stone Coast, at the north­ern end of Riv­oli Bay and fea­tures a 772 metre jetty, the sec­ond longest in South­ern Aus­tralia. Loca­tions like Echo Beach do not get pur­chased very often. It is a truly stun­ning piece of coast­line that looks out on to the calm, shel­tered bay which mir­rors the relaxed, leisurely atmos­phere of the area.

It is an increas­ingly pop­u­lar tourist des­ti­na­tion, as well as being located in South Aus­tralia, which has had its high­est lev­els of migra­tion in decades. Both of which

mean that the prop­erty mar­ket (although already strong) is set to increase in strength. Accord­ing to The Aus­tralian news paper, Aus­tralia is now one of the top three invest­ment des­ti­na­tions for real estate com­pa­nies and the econ­omy is strongly expected to recover next year.

So why else is Echo Beach­such a safe bet? Mar­tin Fos­ter, Invest­ment Risk Ana­lyst for DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. explains that “it is not just the Aus­tralian econ­omy that makes this invest­ment both safe and lucra­tive, but spe­cific aspects of the invest­ment plan, such as a guar­an­teed return and no lockdown.”

The oppor­tu­nity really has an excel­lent bal­ance of secu­rity and max­i­mal return, some­thing so very rare in other avail­able investments.

There is an inde­pen­dently pre­dicted 10–15 % cap­i­tal growth with the poten­tial for much, much more if the land is devel­oped. The ven­dor also has a strong vested inter­est in Echo Beach, retain­ing a 25% inter­est in the plot, and the max­i­mum invest­ment time is five years if devel­op­ment approval is not given, giv­ing a clear exit plan. There will be no pool­ing together of investors money either giv­ing you piece of mind that your money is accounted for indi­vid­u­ally to you.

The above fac­tors added to rel­a­tively low pur­chase fees (from £15,000) make Echo Beach a very safe bet indeed.

DSR Essay – Houses are still a safe bet – if the time and place is right" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/dsr-essay-%e2%80%93-houses-are-still-a-safe-bet-%e2%80%93-if-the-time-and-place-is-right/" rel="bookmark">DSR Essay – Houses are still a safe bet – if the time and place is right

It was not until July 1997 that median house prices in the UK broke the 60K bar­rier, hav­ing lan­guished for sev­eral years in the 50K’s. Prices were 50% higher 4 years later, and over 100% higher 2 years after that. Finally when the bub­ble peaked in mid 2007, prices had jumped by over 200% — to £184,000. Since then we have dropped back to a low of £150,000 early this year, with some improve­ment seen lately.

‘Safe as Houses’ was a say­ing before this last hous­ing bub­ble peaked and burst. Now peo­ple have been shocked into ques­tion­ing this old par­a­digm. How­ever, just as a few decent sum­mers should not be taken as con­fir­ma­tion of Global Warm­ing, so a few bad months or years for estate agents should not be extrap­o­lated into a sit­u­a­tion where nice homes become unde­sir­able per se.

For sure prop­er­ties in run down or over­priced city cen­tres may lose some, or as in the case of Detroit USA – all of their value. But peo­ple will always want to live, work and vaca­tion in com­mer­cially thriv­ing or nice places.

With­out a doubt as glob­al­i­sa­tion – what­ever that is – pro­ceeds apace cit­i­zens increas­ingly look beyond national bound­aries to the future. The inter­net and inter­na­tional jet travel bring far flung lands into view. In a sym­bi­otic rela­tion­ship these beau­ti­ful but rel­a­tively unde­vel­oped nations look to over­seas wealth com­ing in as a domes­tic eco­nomic dri­ver and respond favourably.

Just as in the sec­ond half of the last cen­tury charm­ing vil­lage homes were bought, ren­o­vated and restored back to life, engen­der­ing huge value add, so we will see in the present cen­tury an imper­a­tive to find prime real estate on every shore where intrin­sic value will even­tu­ally bleed through into price.

DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd have already iden­ti­fied the nascent echo boom in over­seas prop­erty, and are in prime posi­tion to help investors take advan­tage with a select port­fo­lio of prop­er­ties in the best regions around the globe for growth, income and qual­ity of life.

DSR Market Analysis – Getting Leverage in Real Estate" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/dsr-market-analysis-%e2%80%93-getting-leverage-in-real-estate/" rel="bookmark">DSR Market Analysis – Getting Leverage in Real Estate

Stocks, all other things being equal, are an invest­ment lever­aged to the value of their under­ly­ing product.

For any busi­ness, as the price that can be charged for a prod­uct rises, the profit mar­gin rises disproportionately.

This is because there is always a fixed cost ele­ment to a company’s oper­a­tional costs that acts as bal­last on the neg­a­tive side of the bal­ance sheet, and when prices rise that company’s ‘dis­pos­able income’ ie profit avail­able for re-investment and pay­ing div­i­dends, rises very sharply as a % of turnover.

Of course, when the process goes into reverse, the effects can be dev­as­tat­ing on share price. The price-time path of home­builder Tay­lor Wim­pey (TW) shows a dev­as­tat­ing 2 year decline. How­ever, the chart is show­ing fur­ther signs of bottoming.

British Land (BLND), like TW is largely an inventory-based con­glom­er­ate, whose core busi­ness needs no expla­na­tion. British land is what UK home­builders build on.

How is BLND far­ing? Broadly speak­ing they have fol­lowed the same path as TW, While British Land is test­ing the lows of 2000, Tay­lor Wim­pey is below the prices seen for the entire chart – apart from maybe the very low­est point of 1992. Over the longer term British Land has fared much the better.

In another essay I argued that the say­ing ‘Safe as Houses’ did not become an accepted par­a­digm overnight, but rather through many decades of real expe­ri­ence of fluc­tu­at­ing markets.

Mean­while all the dri­vers are in place for a global search for quality.

The new par­a­digm is glob­al­i­sa­tion, and our children’s chil­dren will be liv­ing under a much more inter­na­tional if not uni-national polit­i­cal construct.

National bound­aries will no longer be the imped­i­ment to move­ment they once were, and the search will be inten­si­fied for the best places on Earth, bid­ding up prices like old antiques at auc­tions. This would sug­gest that best way to take the long view of the prop­erty mar­ket is to invest in prime coastal and lake­side land.

His­tor­i­cally, build­ing land does bet­ter than homes, just as BLND has held up bet­ter than TW. At the height of the boom UK houses with large gar­dens suit­able for sub­di­vi­sion into smaller plots for build­ing were sell­ing for mul­ti­ples of sim­i­lar homes stand­ing on just their own footprint.

Putting together the land and glob­al­i­sa­tion argu­ments, we think per­haps the best way to take the long view of asset appre­ci­a­tion in real estate is to invest in prime coastal and lake­side land worldwide.

Cambodia Property Market Report

The Cam­bo­dia prop­erty mar­ket is an absolute phe­nom­e­non, fuelled by the num­ber of major busi­nesses being attracted the phe­nom­e­nal growth in Cambodia’s econ­omy. Cam­bo­dia prop­erty is grow­ing in value by around 25% per year, based on peo­ple who have bought a Cam­bo­dia prop­erty and sold 6 months later for 12% more than they paid for it, and peo­ple who have bought a Cam­bo­dia prop­erty and sold just under a year later for 24% more than they paid for it.

The­Cam­bo­dia prop­erty mar­ket is one of the safest to invest in because Asia is cur­rently the world’s main cen­tre for growth, and widely pre­dicted to see con­tin­ued growth over the next 5–10 years.

Invest­ment prop­erty in Cam­bo­dia is cur­rently being bought mainly in the cap­i­tal Phnom Penh, as that is the main growth cen­tre within Cam­bo­dia. Other parts of the coun­try are begin­ning to see devel­op­ment though, and before too long there may beCam­bo­dia invest­ment prop­erty out­side the capital.

Our Cam­bo­dia Prop­erty:

Our Cam­bo­dia prop­erty is in the pop­u­lar Phnom Penh; 1 and 2 bed­room apart­ments from the French Colo­nial era which have been ren­o­vated and mod­ernised to a very high stan­dard.
