Luxury Living in Langkawi : The Land of All One’s Wishes
Malaysia property has been relatively unscathed in the global investment property according to the independent Global Property Guide for 2009 which shows the region is 9th out of 91 territories, currently yielding average rental incomes of over nine per cent.
Described as Malaysia’s best kept secret, Langkawi is the largest of 99 archipelago islands situated 30km off the west coast of Malaysia. With a particularly benign climate and stunning environment it is surrounded by pristine white sand beaches, coral reefs, limestone coves and minor islands with crystal clear waters. Inland is mountainous, covered with ancient rain forest and riddled with bat caves and tunnels. The great majority of the island’s residents speak English.
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. Nature lovers will find it teeming with tropical flora and fauna. The marine biology is particularly diverse.
Since 1987 Langkawi has had duty-free status and this has encouraged tourism. However, development on the island has always been strictly controlled. Furthermore it was designated a UNESCO World Geopark in 2007. Quality real estate will therefore be in supply, and is set to be in increasing demand now that direct flights from major cities like London are making the Langkawi experience more accessible.
DSR Asset Management . have a number of exclusive properties on the island available for sale in 2009. Malaysia’s leading heritage architect, commissioned specially for this sensitive project, has specified the finest natural materials to create Villas with a traditional/contemporary Asian design in harmony with the landscape.

This is the final part of the revelation of David Stanley Redfern research into global property markets. This will follow on from part III which revealed the top 2 long-term destinations, by revealing places 3rd-5th. You can read earlier parts of the series at the property investment research articles section of the DSR site.
3 — Montenegro:
Montenegro was one of the top tourism destinations during the 1980s, and since it split from Serbia and 2006, receiving a little help from featuring in the James Bond Casino Royale blockbuster shortly after, Montenegro’s massively rising tourism puts it on course to regain its prominent position as a top tourism destination. Croatia’s Mediterranean climate combined with its gorgeous beaches, and beautiful countryside made it a massively popular tourism destination, and property values quickly tripled in the space of 3–5 years. Montenegro has all the same strengths, and as it sees a similarly massive growth in tourism as it becomes the next hotspot for a cheap Mediterranean holiday, the indications are there for massive appreciation of Montenegro property prices. It is only in the long-term chart because its path to EU entry secures strong economic growth over the long-term.
4 — America:
This might seem like a strange one in the current climate, but you simply can’t discount the massive economic machine that is the United States of America. Property values and the weak dollar make buying an American property a lot more affordable than it has been for a few years. And America’s integral part in the global-economic infrastructure means it is almost inevitable that the American property market will bounce back, and then people who have taken advantage of the current situation will be in for great profits. This will happen over the short-term and has even begun in some states, but it’s being difficult to predict accurately means anyone investing in US property should do so with the intention that there might be a substantial wait and even a drop in prices before they make any real gains, but when the recovery begins the gains are likely to be worth the wait.
5 — Italy:
Despite global turmoil the large majority of Italian property markets continue to remain largely stable, and many new areas are emerging and are currently strong property value growth. Italy will always be one of the most popular tourism destinations in the world, and the governments responsible attitude towards conserving its beauty by preventing over-development, ensures demand remains high for rental accommodation, off-plan and resale properties. This means that an Italian property investment is always going to be a safe one that will show solid and sustained growth over the long-term.

2007 a Record high for Global property investment
Despite the global credit crunch, 2007 was a record high for global property investment, with cross-border flows rising steeply and more money crossing between the main regions of Europe, Asia and the Americas.
And although the credit crunch took its toll in North America and Europe, pushing down global transaction value by 8 percent in the second half of 2007, investment in Asia surged 22 percent in the last six months of 2007.
As overseas investments specialists, David Stanley Redfern have a wide and far-reaching Asian portfolio.
Countries on their books include the emerging economies of the Philippines and Cambodia, as well as more mature markets such as Malaysia, Thailand and India.
Philippines property is expected to grow in value by no less than 24% for the next five years and possibly even more in the next 2–3 years.
Cambodia investment property is a hot favourite with people eyeing a short-term investment; property is expected to grow in value by about 25% per year and Cambodian property achieves rental yields of at least 10% per year.
Malaysian property should grow by no less than 20% per year over the coming years, and possibly by as much as 25 percent. Property attracts rental yields of 8–10% in Kuala Lumpur, and possibly even higher on resort property in Sabah.
Thailand investment property is now favoured by those in the market for a long-term, secure investment property, that won’t grow in value by any spectacular yearly rate, but will continue to grow sustainably over the next ten to twenty years. Thailand property prices grow by between 5 and 10 percent per year.
The India property market is one of the most vibrant in the world. From low priced beginnings, some Indian property is now among the most expensive in the world; Mumbai is among the top 5 most expensive cities. But buying Indian property in some of its new emerging markets is an excellent investment, especially in and around developing commerce hubs and Special Economic Zones which are being assisted by the government and where property prices are still low. Property in these areas, like Bangalore and Rudrapur, should see spectacular growth, with conservative estimates at 30 percent. Rental yields for high quality off-plan apartments in these areas will be anywhere from 8–10%, possibly as much as 12% as demand reaches its peak, and depending on initial rates.

III" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/david-stanley-redfern-reveal-investment-hotspots-part-iii/" rel="bookmark">David Stanley Redfern Reveal Investment Hotspots Part III
This is the third part in a four part series, parts I and II revealed the top 5 locations for short-term investment based on David Stanley Redfern research since the beginning of 2008, namely, the Philippines, Koh Samui (Thai island), Isla Margarita, Fiji and Cambodia, in that order, and this and part IIII will reveal the top 5 locations for long term investment based on the same research. Below you will find the top 2 locations for property investment.
1: Albania
Albania is currently the number one location for long term property investment because of its determination to become a full member of the EU in 2014, but more than that, the seeming determination of the EU to make sure Albania succeeds in gaining full membership. The most important relationship between this determination and property investment is the masses of money the EU, has, is and will provide Albania to develop economic competitiveness, infrastructure, and general prosperity.
Of course the EU would go to no such lengths if Albania was not showing incredible potential for economic growth in its own right, as more and more businesses relocate to emerging markets, and buy their consumables from emerging market traders in the massive global cost-cutting exercises.
Economic growth, which is secure in Albania’s future until at least 2014, will generate increasing affluence within the population at large, living cost rises bring about wage rises, bring about living cost rises and so on, in a what-came-first-the-chicken-or-the-egg scenario. And house prices will be pushed up in line with that people can afford.
All the above means that you can predict stable and sustained growth in Albania property prices until at least 2014, at which point, the stable democracy, and semi-established market of Albania will have a fair chance of seeing continued property price growth from then on.
2: Panama
Since the Panamanian government announced plans to expand the Panama Canal in October 2006, Panama’s economic growth has been off the charts, GDP growth around 11% year on year to be exact, property values have been growing at a recorded and sustained 25% per year over the same period.
Though Panama is currently growing into one of the world’s main financial and banking centres, with good communications and first world amenities, Panama’s dollar based economy is sustained largely by the Colon Free Trade Zone (largest in the western hemisphere) and the Canal, as well as services from the operation of the two including flagship registry and canal tolls.
The Canal is the only waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, a massive benefit when it was created because of the number of ships being lost traversing the dangerous route via the Drake Passage and Cape Horn. The Canal is rapidly becoming too small for today’s ships, and the expansion will not only double its capacity but quadruple revenues from its operation, which, combined with operation of the Free Trade Zone already accounts for a quarter of Panama’s GDP.
The canal expansion will add new live to Panama’s economic growth, which is likely to remain strong between now and its completion, making Panama excellent for long-term property investment.
Another benefit in Panama’s property market is the fact that it is to American’s, what the Costa’s are to Brits. More American’s buy their retirement homes in Panama than any other country. This provides a massive market for the resale of Panama properties, to ensure that growth in property values can be cashed in.

Off-plan property offers off the scale profits
Forget the horror stories of unfinished buildings and unseen returns; off-plan property is now safe and commonplace. No longer an innovative or complicated procedure, buying off-plan property through a trusted agent can be completely stress-free.
It may seem off-putting to pay for something that does not physically exist, but off-plan purchases are escalating in popularity as well as in profitability. Prices tend to be far lower than the market average, and by the time the property is finished it will most likely have already achieved capital appreciation, meaning instant gains for the buyer.
This is especially true for off-plan resort property in emerging markets; where properties are priced anywhere from 30–50 percent, to even 75 percent less than what they will sell for on the secondary market after completion.
These discounts reflect the perceived risk of paying for a property yet to be built, but by choosing an agent that offers due diligence from start to finish this risk is minimal to non-existent.
David Stanley Redfern is a company with a world renowned reputation for ensuring developers deliver. And as investment specialists, they only sell property that is capable of making their clients money. The company’s extensive research arm, analysts, experience and overseas expertise work to ensure that all property sold is capable of generating substantial gains, be it over the short-term or a mid-long term investment.
As off-plan property, especially in emerging markets, is potentially the most lucrative investment for clients the majority of David Stanley Redfern’s properties are off-plan, and mostly in emerging markets.
In the Philippines, the Lancaster the Atrium Towers represent the best breed of city real estate, promising higher than average yields (circa12%) and exceptional growth (off-plan prices per m2 in this district have grown by 40% in the last 24 months).
In Panama, any property bought from a reputable agent is a good investment. The country has exceptional rental yields and carefully chosen property on Panama’s coast can reach yields of 15 percent. Property prices grew by 50 percent between early 2006 and early 2008, and growth remains strong as high levels of demand continue. David Stanley Redfern currently has the Bala Beach Resort as part of its portfolio.
In the Dominican Republic, investors have been buying off-plan developments to make gains between purchase and completion, taking out finance for the full value and using the extra to take their deposit back. The increased foreign investment in property, and increased tourism, has created the potential for 10%-20% capital appreciation, and 8%-10% rental yields. Investment property is primarily in and around the coastal areas and David Stanley Redfern has two off-plan developments in the midst of some of the country’s best and most popular beaches.

Canary Islands: Booming tourism and Bargain property
Capital appreciation is around 8–10 percent in the Canary Islands, not bad for an established tourist destination where rental yields can reach up to 12 percent and will always be above the 6 percent mark.
The Islands economy is primarily based on tourism; around 10 million tourists visit the Canaries each year and tourism makes up 32 percent of GDP. Growth has been fuelled by huge amounts of Foreign Direct Investment mostly to develop tourism real estate and the Canaries have also received over 11 billion euro from the EU since 2000.
David Stanley Redfern has three properties on the Spanish archipelago flourishing from all-year-round-warmth and all-year-round tourism.
Parque Don José is a fully equipped resort complex in the Canary Island’s Costa del Silencio, near the quaint fishing village of Las Galletas and surrounded by restaurants, cafes, shops, bars and of course fantastic beaches. The resort includes a huge walk-in swimming pool; tennis courts; children’s pool and play area, bar and other amenities. Prices start at £63,000 and the apartments are likely to appreciate anywhere from 10 percent to 15 percent per year.
The overseas property specialists also have a selection of studios and one bedroom apartments in a refurbished complex in Playa Paraiso situated on Tenerife’s south west coast. The apartments come with fully fitted kitchens (including cooker; hob; fridge) and brand new bathrooms; large communal pool and pool bar; landscaped communal gardens; secure owners parking and 24 hour security. Offering spectacular views across the Atlantic Ocean to La Gomera and other Canary Islands; prices are from just £50,000, well below the official valuations enabling 100% mortgages to be arranged if required.
The Orlando Complex is in the heart of one of the main tourist areas in the South of Tenerife, just a few minutes walk from the beaches of Torviscas, Fanabe and Puerto Colon. Just ten minutes away is the Water Park and 15 minutes drive is Reina Sofia Airport. The complex has two beautiful pools; children’s pool, and security card entry and exit for extra security. Prices start at £66,000.

Calabria Property: Another Mediterranean Success Story
The region of Calabria in southern Italy is tipped to become one of the most popular destinations in Europe, and the next Mediterranean property investment success story. This is because property prices are comparatively cheaper than other similar areas in Europe, similar in the glorious beaches, scenery and climate that is. Another plus for Calabria is the fact that the area will not be overdeveloped due to strict government planning controls – this will ensure that demand remains high for rental accommodation and resale properties.
David Stanley Redfern announced this week their entry into the Calabrian market, stating that three new Calabrian developments would be added to their website in the coming days.
Jason Killingback, operations manager for the overseas property investment specialists gave journalists a verbal sneak peek at the new developments:
“All three of our new developments are only a few minutes’ walk from one of Calabria’s gorgeous beaches, and most units will have spectacular views out over the Ionian sea. Of the three developments we are taking on, the lowest priced units start at £71,000 for a 2 bedroom apartment in an off-plan development just 5 minutes walk from the beach, and with the aforementioned views of the sparkling Ionian Sea.
“That is a prime example of why Calabria is going to be so huge in the coming months and years; prices like that for a 2 bedroom apartment on the southern Italian coast offer superb value for money. A property like that for such a low price will give its owners at least an 8% yield, even after taking out their own usage of the property.”
Jason went on to give very brief details of the other two new developments: stating that both are apartment complexes, both are close to the beach, and both have unit prices of below £80,000 for 2 bedroom apartments. When an area like Calabria begins to attract increasing international attention, with strict building controls ensuring constantly high levels of demand, it is all but a foregone conclusion that property prices will see sustained and rapid growth of at least 10–15 percent per year.

UK for bargain property and rising prices" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/escape-the-uk-for-bargain-property-and-rising-prices/" rel="bookmark">Escape the UK for bargain property and rising prices
News on the UK housing market has become a familiar story: Prices are falling; mortgage rates are rising; the whole market is in decline and shows no signs of recovery.
On Friday, Halifax published figures confirming the value of a UK home fell by 2.4 percent in May, the seventh month in the past eight when prices have fallen.
UK prices are now declining more rapidly than at any time since the early 90s property crash. And according to a key index of property price futures, this slide will continue for at least three years, crushing the value of a home by almost 50 percent in real terms. Indications from futures trading on long term property prices show the average UK home only recovering its current value in 2017.
Meanwhile, property prices abroad are showing ever increasing prices rises. And overseas property specialists, David Stanley Redfern , have a number of properties maintaining high capital appreciation and high rental yields.
Montenegro property, for example, is expected to grow in value by 15–20 percent per year, possibly reaching growth of 30 percent per year as the country progresses towards EU accession. Albania, also on the road to EU accession, is showing similar levels of growth. While on Margarita island, the only Caribbean island outside the hurricane belt, property prices have risen, on average, 32 percent in the last two years and prices are expected to grow by at least 15–20 percent annually in the next 2–5 years.
Thailand has also become a hot favourite with investors, who have enjoyed capital appreciation not lower than 25 percent in the first five years of its growth. While Philippines property is expected to grow in value by no less than 24 percent in the next five years and possibly even more in the next 2–3 years. In Fiji, David Stanley Redfern currently have studio houses from £25,000, likely to be worth £35,000 — £40,000 when they are built, and £60,000 — £80,000 in 2 years time. In Cambodia’s Phnom Penh, growth in business and commercial sectors; rising affluence; and a rapidly emerging tourism sector will see property prices continue to rise by at least 15%-25% per year.
And these emerging markets look set to survive the global slowdown as businesses increasingly move their operations into cheaper locations, import their goods from cheaper places and tourists holiday in cheaper destinations.
With seemingly no way up for UK housing, now is the time to invest in countries with a brighter future.

Rising Fuel Costs No Effect on Air Travel
There has been much negative press about the rising cost of crude oil and its effect on air-travel, with many arguing it is the end of an era for budget airlines.
EasyJet has admitted that its costs have risen by £4 per customer due to higher fuel prices, while BA is expected to raise fares by 4 percent over the next year. And yesterday, Chief Executive of Ryanair, Michael O’Leary, said average fares for the coming year would rise by approximately 5 percent.
Yet despite all this doom and gloom, Ryanair posted a 20 percent rise in adjusted full-year net profit; BA last week celebrated record pre-tax profits of £883m; and analysts expect easyJet to make a full-year profit of £150m.
The major airlines are, in fact, well placed to weather the storm of high fuel prices, especially when considering their fuel hedging strategies — buying fuel in advance at a fixed price. BA, for example, has bought about two-thirds of its fuel at $86 a barrel until next March. And while the airlines will factor in the rising cost of fuel in the short-term, many analysts believe oil is in the grip of a speculative boom – U.S oil consumption fell 7% in February, equivalent to a 2% slump in global demand, but the oil price went up.
Companies such as Ryanair and low-cost rival easyJet will try to leave fares untouched, cutting costs elsewhere, because cheap tickets are the key part of their no-frills business model. As Toby Nicol, easyJet’s director of communications, said this week: “easyJet’s average fare last year was £43 one way, before government tax, so the era of the £39 fare is actually still very much alive and well.” And while the press may be plotting their demise, neither easyJet, nor Ryanair have reported a fall in demand – last month Ryanair carried over 5 million passengers, the highest figure ever recorded by any UK airline.
For the consumer, the extra cost in fuel per person is just a small fraction of the holiday budget, especially when considering rising fuel costs are hitting many just as much at the petrol pumps. A slightly more expensive air-ticket has not, and will not dampen the demand for holidays when it’s raining outside and work has been hard.
Indeed, Tui Travel, home to the Thomson and First Choice businesses in the UK, said sales over the last six weeks were up 9 percent on a year ago and the company has been left with fewer holidays left to sell. Winter holiday bookings from the UK were up 15 percent.
While David Stanley Redfern, the overseas property specialists, have seen their properties achieve ever increasing rental yields and capital appreciation as more and more holiday abroad. Their Montenegro property is expected to grow in value by 25–30 percent per year, achieving rental yields of between 6 and 10 percent, and Albania property earns 5–7 rental yields and 10–15 percent capital appreciation. With the budget airlines continuing to write their names across the skies; it’s good to know that all these properties are just a short flight away.

Overseas Property: Resale Markets Boosted by British Emigration
The Office of National Statistics has revealed that 4000 Britons are emigrating each week, in the biggest mass exodus for almost 50 years. Among the reasons for moving abroad were, loutish behaviour and the deterioration of British housing estates, rising living costs, the government and pressure at work, others are moving in seek of career opportunities in emerging markets. The findings also showed that the emigration was mostly taking place to countries within the commonwealth, with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States being the most popular.
Some would say the growth in relocating Brits was almost inevitable, with exponential rises in yob culture, and its spreading to the suburbs, and even small villages, as well as flights becoming so quick, so cheap and such an integral part of daily life.
David Stanley Redfern have experienced the rise in Britons buying property abroad to emigrate at first hand, Operations Manager said:
“Yeah, we sell all the time to people who plan to go and live in their property abroad, the increase has been noticeably rapid. Canada is popular with those sorts of buyers, but we have even sold to people moving to places like Montenegro, and Malaysia.”
The head of international research for the overseas property investment specialist added:
“While this isn’t particularly good news for Britain, with so many of our skilled workers taking their skills abroad, it is good news for the overseas property industry, specifically in Canada, the U.S. and the other popular emigration destinations. Increasing emigration from an affluent area like the U.K. will massively strengthen the resale markets in those countries, and ensure the people currently buying off-plan make the profit they project on the resale market in spite of global slowdowns.”

Overseas Property Specialist Reveals Most Popular Locations
As one of the U.K’s most successful overseas property companies, David Stanley Redfern announced plans May 19 to begin revealing the destinations most popular with visitors to their site. Last week the emerging markets specialist revealed that Albania was the most enquired about country, but this week they are revealing a comprehensive list of 10 most popular countries based on country page views, and property views, and also the 10 most frequently searched for countries on the on-site search. The firm’s operations manager said:
“There is a lot of doom and gloom about the industry in the news at the moment, because of the credit crunch, but we have not seen one negative effect so far, in fact we had more enquiries last week than we have had in any one week before. We think that releasing our most popular properties, because they are so widely varied in location, it will perk up the industry by showing global property is still as popular as ever.”
According to the release the most popular country with browsers of the DSR website, is unsurprisingly Albania, Cambodia is second and Canada third, whereas Canada is most popular with searchers, with Albania a close second. The biggest surprise is Italy, which is the third most searched for country, but is the sixth most visited by browsers of the site, and to confirm the major difference between browsers and searchers, Germany is the fourth most searched for country, whereas Germany only just made it into the list, as the ninth most visited by browsers of the site, and Montenegro the ninth most frequently searched country, didn’t make it into the top ten most popular with browsers.
The complete findings are as follows:
Most searched for countries:
1. Canada
2. Albania
3. Italy
4. Germany
5. India
6. Malaysia
7. Thailand
8. United States

Canary Islands Property Growing in Popularity
In a recent study by globaledge.co.uk, using keyword analysis tool word-tracker, to analyse the most popular searches for overseas property by country, the Canary Islands proved one of the biggest shockers, with Tenerife making it into the top-ten, Fuerteventura not far behind, and even the localities of Costa Teguise (Lanzarote), Palm Mar (Tenerife), and Caleta de Fuste (Fuerteventura) all making it into the top 70.
This is a major insight into the Canary Islands growing popularity as a property investment destination. David Stanley Redfern, ever-a-finger on the pulse of overseas property investment trends have just added a new Tenerife property: the Parque don José, a fully equipped resort development, in an area perfect for holiday makers, near Las Galletas in Costa del Silencio.
The head of international research for David Stanley Redfern, had this to say on the property’s growth potential:
“As an investment, Parque don José has bucket loads of potential, especially for holiday home investors, i.e. who intend to make money from its rental when hot holidaying in it themselves. Though never scorching, the Canary Islands is warm all year round, and Tenerife tourism is on the rise again as Spain gets too hot, sticky and crowded, so occupancy on Tenerife property will be between 80 and 100%, allowing investors to make rental yields of between 8 and 10% depending on how much the use it themselves.
“Capital appreciation on these apartments is likely to be around 10%-15% per year. Tenerife property prices are slightly higher than some of the new emerging markets, but you are paying extra for the safety of buying an existing property that you can use/rent-out straight away, and in a secure, established market, which also has a well developed infrastructure already geared up for tourism, making it the property easy to market for holiday rentals.
Planning permission was recently passed for a new five star hotel, an artificial beach and a spa, indicating that Costa del Silencio is a new growth area. The Parque don José resort itself has just received an EU grant, to be used for making massive upgrades to the resort, which will push up prices. Now is the time to buy.

II" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/david-stanley-redfern-reveal-top-property-hotspots-%e2%80%93-part-ii/" rel="bookmark">David Stanley Redfern Reveal Top Property Hotspots – Part II
This is the second part in a 4 part series that will conclude the release of David Stanley Redfern research into global property markets. The first two parts revealing the top five destinations for short term investment, and the next 2 parts revealing the top five destinations for long term investment. The first part in the series put the Philippines in no1 spot, and Thailand’s Koh Samui island a close second.
No 3 – Isla Margarita – Venezuela
After first rearing its head towards the end of 2005, Margarita Island, off the north coast of Venezuela is finally starting to get the attention it deserves from international tourists and investors. The only Caribbean island outside the hurricane belt, Margarita has knocked the Dominican Republic of the spot as the cheapest location to buy a Caribbean beach house. And with Margarita visitor numbers increasing by hundreds of thousands per year, attracted by its all year round warm climate, Margarita’s economy, and property prices will grow massively in the next 2-5years.
An off-plan development, where you can now buy a 1 bedroom for under 30k, will be worth anywhere between 50% and 100% more in 2 years time. Rental yields will go up from the current 6–8%, to 8%-12% over the same period.
No 4 — Fiji
Fiji is going to be massive for much the same reasons as Margarita. Autralia and New Zealand have both been massive on the property investment front, but they are now established markets and property is now on the pricey side. Fiji already has their climate, beautiful turquoise warm seas, as well as coral reefs and all the water wildlife that inhabits them and the waters surrounding them. The infrastructure and holiday amenities are developing at a rapid rate, as is visitor numbers to these beautiful pacific islands, where the cost of living is so low, and you can do anything from basking in the sunshine to swimming with turtles.
As tourism grows massively so does the economy, but the biggest benefit to Fiji’s growth potential is the incredibly low prices of off-plan property. DSR currently have studio houses from £25,000, which are likely to be worth £35,000 — £40,000 when they are built, and £60,000 — £80,000 in 2 years time. Rental yields are currently around the 8–10% mark, and may well see growth in the next 2–3 years.
No 5 – Cambodia
The main growth in Cambodia property has centred on Phnom Penh thus far. Phnom Penh’s massive growth in the past few years means the market is looking like it might level out, and property is not as cheap as it once was. That said, there is still plenty of room for capital appreciation; as Phnom Penh’s business and commercial sectors continue to see massive levels of growth, rising affluence as well as a rapidly emerging tourism sector will see property prices continue to rise by at least 15%-25% per year.
Bear in mind there is still very little in the way of off-plan development in Phnom Penh, these coming onto the market could see spectacular growth. The Cambodian governments new plan to re-launch the national airline, as Cambodia tourism begins to see massive growth, is likely to spread growth, and new Cambodia property hotspots will start to emerge, especially around Cambodia’s beautiful unspoilt coastline, which is beginning to rival Thailand and Bali as a regional tourism hotspot.

Emerging Market Property Investment: Fortune Favours the Bold
What I have been saying for a while now was confirmed by Standard Life Apr 18 when they announced that emerging markets are the safest place to invest in the current global economic slowdown. Standard Life made the announcement alongside making a major investment into the emerging market of Brazil, as they put their money where their mouth is.
They explained that emerging markets are currently excellent investment locations, because the two big emerging markets, China and India, are massive importers of the basic materials that the new emerging markets are exporting cheaper than any of the established markets.
For a long time now I have said that a global market slowdown will actually be good for emerging markets, because as people and businesses tighten their belts, they will increasingly turn to the lower cost of the new emerging markets, to relocate their operations to, outsource to, import from, and holiday in.
This can only be good news for emerging market property. When you buy a property in an emerging market, you are buying to capitalise on either the influx of businesses, the influx of tourists, or, if you’re lucky, both.
You are relying on these things, a: because incoming tourists and businesses importing their top level management, translates to lots of people to rent out your property to. But also, because the incoming money, be it from tourists or new business and the employment thereof, increases the affluence of the area, this causes living costs and the cost of building materials to rise, which then means wages have to go up, translating to increases in the costs of building properties, all of which pushes house prices up, sometimes by as much as 50% per year.
You will only get growth like that in an emerging market. Some people, and I don’t mean Joe down the road, but well respected people in the industry, say that emerging market property is cheap, and likely to stay that way.
But I have always said, once a market starts to emerge, be it triggered by growth in new businesses or tourism growth, the cycle I laid out above begins and it is a cycle that has perpetual motion; increasing house prices means more money in tax revenues, wealthier developers putting money back into the economy, thus continuing to increase affluence, not to mention members of the local communities getting promoted, small business becoming big from rising tourism, all translating to rises in living costs, higher wages and keeping house price growth strong.
Some would say that investing in an emerging market property is a bold move, but in that case — as Standard Life’s announcement proves — the saying: fortune favours the bold has never been more true of anything, than it is of an emerging market property investment in the current climate.

Overseas Property: More Signs for Sustained Growth
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and United States, are the most popular destinations with emigrating Brits, and according to an study by the UK Office of National Statistics that is currently some 4000 people every week. This number has increased extremely rapidly in the last few years, as people tire of yobbish behaviour, deteriorating housing estates, the government, rising cost of living, and others emigrate seeking career opportunities in growing economies like Montenegro.
The yobbish behaviour and living costs are unlikely decrease anytime soon (short of a miracle), so the number of Britons moving abroad will continue to rise. As people emigrating are usually looking to buy existing houses, as oppose to off-plan, this is great news for secondary housing markets, especially in the most popular countries mentioned above.
This is also great news for the overseas property investment industry, as overseas investors usually buy off-plan in order to make the biggest gains, and a frequent worry is whether they will be able to sell for their projected profit; will there be anyone to sell to, and according to this report, the answer in Canada, the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand is a definite yes.
The Sunday Express recently reported that the number of young Britons investing in property overseas continues to rise, despite falling U.K. house prices, prices still haven’t fallen substantially enough for first-time buyers, and this is also great news for them.
I wrote in my last article that all the signs point to the overseas property market continuing to be strong, and the two latest reports only strengthen my standpoint.

Property Abroad Popularity Growing Despite Credit Crunch
All the signs point to the overseas property market continuing to remain incredibly strong for the foreseeable future. A survey by fairinvestment.co.uk has revealed that nearly 50% of Britons said they would consider buying their first property abroad, and 8 percent had already done so. A similar survey last year revealed that 25% of Britons would consider buying their first property abroad, and the 25% rise is excellent news for the U.K. overseas property industry.
Property abroad is becoming even more popular, not least because of the people who can’t get onto the property ladder, and who buy a property abroad to use the rental income to increase their buying power back home, and/or to use the lump-sum from the profitable resale as a down-payment, or towards paying off their mortgage.
With the credit crunch and UK property prices now falling, you could say that this soon won’t be as necessary, but another consequence of the credit-crunch is that it is making mortgages harder to get in the UK, which means buying property abroad will remain a necessary part of some people’s path onto the property ladder.
Another big advantage property abroad now has is the fact that profits are proven. I can give examples of Goa properties we sold last year, that are now on the secondary market, and selling for over 40% more than they were last year. Of Thai island Koh Samui properties selling at the end of last year for 100% more than they went for at the end of 2005.
And with investment banking reports that emerging markets will continue to grow strongly throughout global turmoil, because of India and China’s need to buy bulk basic materials at low prices, which they buy from the new emerging markets, property abroad has a bright future, a rarity in the present world.
Property abroad has another string to its bow: the security of putting your money into bricks and mortar. Stocks and shares are fine when they are doing well, but they can go from being worth millions of pounds, to not even being worth millions of pence overnight. Property cannot do that. So, if you buy property abroad to make a profit, and you do that’s great, but even if you don’t you are unlikely to be hurt too badly by it, of course assuming you have chosen carefully in the first place.
Of course, if you buy a property abroad as a holiday home only, then you have nothing to worry about as it will almost definitely be a nice nest egg for those you leave behind, or to pay for kids college fees etc.
So there you have it. In the face of global economic uncertainty and credit crunch anxiety, property abroad continues to grow in popularity, and remains one of the most profitable forms of investment in the current climate.

David Stanley Redfern Reveals Top 2 Property Investment Hotspots
Despite the fears of a global market slowdown by what many analysts are already calling a recession in the U.S., the overseas property investment sector continues to flourish. While David Stanley Redfern research into overseas property markets is ongoing, their 2008 research is finally at a point where they are willing to present their top two investment destinations and the reasons why. Liam Bailey, head of international research for the international property specialist said:
“This will be the first part in a serious that will first cover the top five destinations for short-term investment, and then the top five destinations for long-term investment. Doing them in groups of two allows us to give a more detailed explanation of why we favour each one as a destination for property investment.”
No 1 — Philippines:
The Philippines is an incredible destination for a short-term property investment. Using other countries in the region as a guide, and considering the fact that the Philippines real estate growth is based on the same strengths, it is a safe bet that Philippines real estate will grow in value by 20–25% per year. Take Bangkok, where we can now see real estate being sold for twice what they were 3–4 years ago. And Phnom Penh, Cambodia is seeing strong 24%-25% growth year on year.
Philippines real estate growth is fuelled by massive growth in its business and industry sectors, primarily in Manila as major companies flock in to build cheap office towers, inhabited by a cheap work-force, working with manufacturing goods bought just as cheaply. This brings in retail chains in preparation for the increasing affluence of the population. The big corporations tend to relocate the top-level management, and the incoming executives are looking for quality rented accommodation, the same is true as the affluence of local people increases in their new jobs.
David Stanley Redfern’s Philippines real estate is perfect to capitalise on the demand for quality rented accommodation. The second tower of the three tower Lancaster condominium development is currently being built in Manila’s Makati financial district, and the luxury condos thereof marketed by David Stanley Redfern.
Units now going for £33k will be worth at least 46k in 2 years, and in the region of 60k in 4 years. Even after the Philippines substantial taxes are paid, there will be sufficient profit margin to make this an excellent short-term investment, ideal for a first-timer looking at an entry level investment. As a testament to the growth potential of Philippines investment property, the price of these apartments is going up by 17% on April 16th, so anyone fired up by the Philippines should act quickly.
No 2 — Thailand — Koh Samui Island:
Following the success of Thai island Phuket, Koh Samui emerged onto the property investment scene in a big way just over two years ago. It is now a semi-mature market and the resort properties which make the biggest profit are rarely available for less than £200,000. However, research of late last year showed that people who had bought a resort property in Koh Samui in late 2005 as a short-term investment, sold last year for twice what they paid. This showed that capital appreciation had been solid at an incredible 50% per year for the two previous years.
Thailand’s incredible growth is fuelled primarily by incredible tourism figures. As the number of people flocking in for the white sandy beaches, tropical climate and tropical atmosphere increases by 20% per year, resort properties on the beautiful island of Koh Samui will continue to attract a great proportion of the visitors, and property prices continue to grow strongly.
Koh Samui now has more 5 and 6 star resort developments that any other island, and the competition in the market is good for buyers because it is forcing developers to find ways to make their developments stand-out.
This intense competition has led to 2 bedroom off-plan luxury resort villas in Koh Samui’s Maenam Hills development coming onto the market at a bargain price of £100k. The competition has also led to more developers offering finance on their Koh Samui property. Buyers can get 50% LTV finance on their Maenam Hills Villa. And David Stanley Redfern has other Koh Samui projects with equally impressive finance available.

David Stanley Redfern Does the Moonwalk – For Charity
That will be a strange title to some, but a little less strange to the thousands of people up and down the country who have helped Breast Cancer Charity Walk the Walk by doing just that – walking. On Sunday 18 May David Stanley Redfern, managing director David Stanley Redfern by will join their ranks and do the half moon walk to raise money for breast cancer. “It’s nice to be able to give something back” David told me “Cancer is one of our country’s biggest killers, and breast cancer is the worst of a bad bunch.”
The giving doesn’t stop there, David is also donating –% of company profits to the charity and in what could be called a bold move David Redfern has also stated that – as part of a company drive – he will personally match any amount raised in any fund raising efforts by the David Stanley Redfern team.
Walk the Walk’s aim is for 80% of the money donated and raised to go directly into grants for breast cancer research, treatment and care, they have raised in excess of 35million pounds in the last ten years. The Charity recently announced that it had teamed up with Maggie’s, the organisation offering care and support to anyone affected by the big C, to create Glasgow’s second cancer caring centre at The Gartnavel General Hospital. Walk the Walk are granting significant funds to Maggie’s towards paying for the £2.1million building.
As I said David is taking part in the London Moon Walk being held Sat 17 and Sun 18 May 2008, but Walk the Walk raises funds from other events around the world throughout the year, including The Paris Marathon, the Boston Marathon, the London Marathon, Iceland’s Summer Solstice marathon, the rock and roll marathon in San Diego, the Dublin (Ireland) Women’s 10k, the Hydroactive Challenges in London, Birmingham and Liverpool, the Great Scottish half marathon, the Berlin marathon and the New York City marathon — even Peru helps out with the “Walk the Inca Trail”, and there are many more.
But Raising well over 2 million a year the Edinburgh Moonwalk, and over 5million a year, the London Moonwalk are Walk the Walks biggest of the year – hopefully this year will be the biggest ever with the help of David Stanley Redfern , and a percentage of their sales.

UK" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/british-property-investors-say-goodbye-to-the-uk/" rel="bookmark">British property investors say goodbye to the UK
The latest overseas property related research to be published by global business analysts shows that excluding timeshare style real estate, just fewer than 4 million Brits own property abroad. It’s expected that by 2012 the overall annual growth of British ownership of foreign property could rise by as much as 13% and that over the coming five or six years the overseas property market could increase by as much as 100%. MD David Stanley Redfern, a specialist in property investment outlined some of the reasons behind the ever escalating trend.
“It’s no secret that more and more Brits are buying abroad and for most it’s for either of the two very same reasons any investor buys overseas property: financial or recreational advantage. With the UK property ladder proving to be increasingly elusive for first time buyers, the extra revenue from a second property can easily prove invaluable in taking that first step into UK ownership. For current UK property owners, affordable holidays and rental yields outside the holiday season are perhaps the more attractive elements. Emerging markets like Panama, Morocco, Albania and many others have increased investment activity with their undeniable and often unbeatable rewards”.
It’s true of course that extra income can improve the lifestyle of any investor and just over a quarter of investors buy for reasons other than the everyday benefits of financial return, instead simply searching for Sun Sea and sand. In light of the now established field of foreign real estate and its proven success, investors are becoming more ambitious and are less hesitant to look further afield. Emerging markets prove to be far more affordable and beneficial than most longstanding and perhaps more local European investment heavyweights such as France or Spain. It’s perhaps no wonder then that more and more Brits fly to buy and say goodbye to the UK and both its somewhat dismal property and weather climates.

Overseas property investment foresees incredible increase
Latest research regarding financial investment proves that the rewarding overseas property market certainly is enticing more and more investors to its alluring and ultimately unrivalled yields. In light of the recently released figures, the global property market is currently expected to see an astonishing 13% annual increase over the coming 5 years. It’s also said that the market could potentially double in this short time. Overseas property investment specialist David Stanley Redfern explains why he’s not at all surprised by the news:
“The global property arena is constantly expanding, offering potential investors new and unbeatable opportunities throughout the marketplace. The fantastic returns offered are no longer secret or confined to professional buyers, so it’s something of a natural progression for such a profitable area of investment to attract everyday people looking to change their financially challenged lifestyles”.
Around 4 million Brits now own overseas property outright, with over a quarter of those actually residing abroad. This illustrates just how many of those investors are simply reaping their just rewards from the rental returns of their second property amidst a market that’s now valued around an astounding £45 billion. It’s thought that its massive appreciation has been reinforced by the number of younger investors looking to generate extra income so as to afford UK property. Around 70% of investors get involved simply to improve everyday lives, leaving the remainder to appreciate their holiday homes with more recreational usage.
Emphasis has been placed on the particularly attractive and profitable emerging markets found in the Black Sea region, Asia and the Americas. European countries like Croatia, Montenegro and the Ukraine, Asian countries such as Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand and American countries such as Brazil, Panama and even Canada are rapidly increasing in value and popularity. Long time heavyweights like the Canary Islands or perhaps Germany still host great opportunities too of course, though the international investors focus has noticeably shifted to what were once considered as more exotic locations.
It’s a fact that the key element preventing people from attaining financial freedom through overseas property investment is simply fear of the unknown. Contact David Stanley Redfern for an non-obligatory chat about the unsurpassable rewards of overseas property investment and the many services and considerate assistance openly available to both first time or experienced investors alike.

Overseas Property Makes Savings Accounts a Thing of the Past?
Few people can afford to buy a second home abroad despite the desire to do so. Award winning overseas property investment specialist David Stanley Redfern have, as they routinely scrutinise the market place, noticed a surprising but nevertheless steadily rising trend in their overseas investment related demographics. More UK inhabitants are actually making their home on foreign shores, moving abroad and maintaining their professional status here in the UK, as opposed to stretching their finances for a second holiday or investment home.
Reputable and long standing specialist David Stanley Redfern himself goes a little further to explain the reasons behind the inclination of buyers in today’s market. “A combination of factors can be held accountable for the current boom in overseas investment, but I feel the main reason is common sense. Yes there are the banking scares and the instability recently highlighted by Northern Rock. Yes British weather is noticeably worsening year by year. But ultimately, common sense dictates that when the available returns vastly outweigh any offered by UK savings accounts, the assertive saver will spend their money accordingly and invest abroad and take advantage of often government guaranteed returns such as those on offer in Finland”.
But it doesn’t end there. Surely the overseas allure of sun, sea and sand can’t be powerful enough to attract international commuters can it? Opposed to the everyday stressful rat-race that Britons face, it’s hardly surprising to find that 43% want out; the question of course is how? Is it really possible to commute to and from work, from one country to the next? Well, not only is it possible but its becoming increasingly popular and even set to increase further with Eurostars November 2008 launching of their high speed rail service from St Pancras International.
The fact that a journey to London from Cheshire takes around the same time as travelling from Portugal to London enticed recent Portugal resident Jo Wheeler into the overseas property market. She clearly illustrates just how much of a positive impact the decision to move from Cheshire to Portugal has had on the lives of her and her family. “We are now international people and our children have far more physical freedom and fun in the environment than at home.”
With unrivalled return opportunities to be taken with an overseas investment and the ever widening audience its attracting, with holiday/investment home makers, international commuters and the incredible affordability in emerging markets, it’s estimated that 1 in 3 financial advisors will be dealing with overseas property related enquiries by 2010. So, are savings accounts becoming a thing of the past, after all, its evidently possible, isn’t it?

Government guaranteed investment returns in emerging markets
Not since the early riskier days of overseas property investment has the marketplace been so abundant with opportunities of a similar rewarding calibre. The days when assertive action didn’t necessarily attract returns like they do today, largely owes to the savvy and know-how that’s developed over the years. The auspicious Ukraine capital city of Kiev and its many underpriced properties were being snapped up along with their unrealised potential, potential that today commands incredible reverence. The sheer volume of emerging markets that are developing worldwide today holds little surprise of course, but the returns that can be reaped will certainly startle and attract any potential and unenlightened investor in the property game.
Overseas property investment specialists David Stanley Redfern are reputable and award winning agents who hold customer care at the forefront of their complete and obligation-free service. Commenting, their Managing Director David Stanley Redfern outlined the benefits awaiting investors buying into the current overseas property market, especially those unrealised markets on the threshold of recognition.
“There’s no denying the worldwide respect that Kiev has earned for itself since the collapse of the Soviet Union. When less informed investors bought into the city back then, they couldn’t have possibly foreseen the remarkable development Kiev has made since, along with any investments made in its strengthened and stable economy and property market.
These days, numerous analysis tools and reports enable us to initially identify investment potential whilst our knowledge and experience allows us to successfully predict the outcome of a region and its value in the market place, but there are other simple tell tale signs of guidance and assurance. A new element being attached to overseas property these days is government guaranteed returns that offer a little peace of mind for investors”.
These government guaranteed returns are certainly on the increase and understandably attracting attention amidst the market place. They’re ideal for investment holiday home buyers looking for a tenant for their rental properties abroad. With all the hassle taken out of the search, the arrangements and of course the worry of reliability, it leaves any investor free to sit back and reap their rewards or set their keen sight on their next property. Anyone interested in making an investment with an attached government guaranteed return, could do worse than to contact David Stanley Redfern .

BST Opens Overseas Property Investment Boom" href="http://www.dsrassetmanagement.co.uk/tiresome-bst-opens-overseas-property-investment-boom/" rel="bookmark">Tiresome BST Opens Overseas Property Investment Boom
The perhaps not so unusually bleak British summer has brought with it an unforeseen increase in the number of Brits endeavouring to make an overseas property investment home their very own. According to a researched report released by Yorkshire Bank, 43% of homebuyers are now scrutinising the overseas property market for their next purchase. Amidst the ever present reservations that hold back potential investors from making that initial leap into the overseas market, the unexpected increase is most welcome. Overseas property investment specialist David Stanley Redfern explains…
“People are dissuaded by an array of off-putting factors. Language barriers, fraudulent agents, the actual unfamiliar process itself and of course, sheer indecision. This boom can bring nothing but good news and hopefully help potential investors to overcome their understandable hesitation as they witness first hand, the current tendency British people like themselves have to invest on foreign soil”. A recent 45% increase in British holiday homeowners is surely a telling sign that BST and its diminishing appeal have indeed made their impact on the market, with a surprising 800,000 overseas property owning Brits going a long way to illustrate the fact.
Taking a look at David Stanley Redfern’s current portfolio of high class, worldwide properties, there are more alluring reasons than the harshly contrasting British weather to convert any potential investor out there. More affordable opportunities in the popular destination of Goa, with villas available from £11,250 will surely tempt anyone interested. Their incomparable dream destinations in Barbados, their more prestigious opportunities, come with an admittedly fair, but scary for most price tag of $1,450,000.
With such a wide range of properties on offer from the Canaries to Cambodia, if an investment in the overseas property market is going to be your next move, David Stanley Redfern are not only reputable but are recent award winners, thanks to ‘Homes Overseas’ magazine who particularly appreciated their stunning Finnish property. With financial solutions, complete customer service and after care coming as part of their successful package, they offer the one thing that is often the hardest to come by, your peace of mind.

Top Property Investment Opportunities are Overseas
In an evidently hypocritical statement released by fiasco stricken Northern Rock, assurance is given to its understandably concerned customers regarding the stability of their savings…
‘Northern Rock has agreed new guarantee arrangements with the Bank of England and H.M Treasury, which brings enhanced protection for all our customers during the current instability in the financial markets. This protects all retail savings in all accounts, regardless of the amount deposited and applies to all existing and new products. You can be sure that all retail savings — for both existing and new customers — remain guaranteed, safe and secure. Everyone at Northern Rock continues to work hard to ensure our customers enjoy a high standard of service and we thank you for your confidence in us.
All very well indeed but the ‘collateral’ damage caused by the recent unfortunate events in the market place have had their impact and left their mark. Martin Lewis AKA Money Saving Expert is a widely revered financial analyst whose online forum recently attracted, along with its current 2 million subscribers, the attention of the House of Commons which raised a specific motion supporting the site. Martin Lewis has been known to advise and to warn people who are all too readily trusting of the banking institution. He states that if you trust your bank, you end up getting its ‘best product’ rather than the market’s best. Banks and, surprisingly, many building societies too are sales based institutions, with target driven staff, and most of the population sadly still miss out on that fact; and make abysmal financial decisions based on it.
All this speculation and scrutiny leads us to the question of just where the best place to invest your hard earned money might be. Owing to affordability, cheap flights, rising equity, available cash reserves and increased political stability overseas, one increasingly popular solution lies in the overseas property investment market and looking at the attractive and often government guaranteed returns, it’s perhaps no surprise that more and more people are investing abroad. Savills’ Second Homes Abroad report states that the prospects of future capital growth, particularly in emerging markets are a significant incentive. At least half of Britons buy properties in Spain or France but emerging markets such as Bulgaria and Croatia are steadily increasing at a rate equal to their value, which can command an extraordinary premium of up to 37%.
You can discover such investment opportunities at reputable and award winning overseas property investment specialist David Stanley Redfern .

Europe Set for Foreign Investment Boost
With an increasing number of Brits shrewdly investing in the overseas property market as opposed to locking up their savings in the evidently instable and less rewarding banking institution, scrutiny is being focused on the recent and unprecedented trend of buying property abroad and the incentives that must surely hold powerful allure. Award winning overseas property investment specialists David Stanley Redfern have for a long time; accurately and successfully forecast the latest and ever diversifying market place action. “Overseas investment has steadily been on the increase for some time. With the escalating array of emerging markets around the globe and the affordable, desirable and investment worthy properties offered therein, its no surprise that more and more attention is being drawn to the incomparable and sometimes government guaranteed returns on offer within the foreign property market”.
Now, it seems the latest location set for a massive boost is closer to home than most might suspect, certainly closer than some of the more exotic, further afield locations. Europe still holds a few gems within its borders that are about to become impossibly accessible with the launch of Eurostar’s environmentally friendly St Pancras International service, which is already enticing UK buyers to permanently move abroad and to make their first home overseas. It admittedly sounds incredible but when you consider the logistics, it’s not so strange after all. The incentives of guaranteed financial returns and a healthier and more accommodating environment are understandable; it’s the ability to commute internationally that initially leaves one a little bewildered.
Commuting to London from places like Paris in just over 2 hours is achievable, the same time spent behind the wheel in the commonplace rat-race drive to work. Technological advances are another accommodating aspect too, with mobile and remote devices ranging from phones, laptops and PDAs bringing the office to the worker wherever they might be and often outside office opening hours. Perhaps with ‘proof in the pudding’ as it were, now might be the right time to buy into foreign markets, particularly those within Europe’s boundaries before the prices of available property begin to reflect the rising demand and soars beyond reach. Contact overseas property investment specialists David Stanley Redfern today for an obligation free chat about the various options available to today’s potential investor in what is beginning to look like the future.

Foreign Investment Brings Financial Freedom
Its no secret that finding the investment opportunity that’s right for you and your budget can not only be difficult, but with the myriad of worldwide opportunities at hand for potential investors to investigate and to scrutinise, it can be something of a long and bewildering process. A process often involving in-depth enquiries and the chasing and tracing of options and their origins — not to mention the pressures of self assurance and the reasonable yet nonetheless distracting powers of doubt that all too frequently prevent investors from making that all important final decision.
Often, in order to take full advantage of a situation and the beneficial attributes that initially attracted you to it, acting fast can prove critical. This is especially true in the incomparably rewarding but time sensitive overseas property market. With so many agents, their extensive worldwide property resources and ‘too good to miss options’, how is it possible to know which agent or investment is right for you?
First and foremost comes the task of finding a reputable and reliable agent with opportunities on offer that provide an edge over their competitors, along with the knowledgeable and obligation-free advice that you should expect. But is there such a thing as an investment advisor with their clients interests held firmly at the heart of its everyday operations?
As, I said there are many agents out there, but few are long standing award winners capable of offering exclusive, top specification properties with government guaranteed returns attached. Few offer obligation-free advice or appropriate financial solutions as well as guidance and assistance from start to finish. Few have custom designed their service to accommodate individual requirements in the maintenance of their tailor made and all important customer care that considerately extends to after sales attention.
If you’re looking to invest in the overseas property market and to benefit from the unrivalled financial returns it offers, ensure you seek professional assistance from specialists like David Stanley Redfern before you commit.
