investment property abroad
why invest in property??
There is nothing as solid as bricks and mortar for steady continued growth. Yes we all know that stocks and shares may bring rewards quicker - but only if you make the right choices at the right time. Property is a steady investment that grows and in fact doubles in value on average every 7- 8 years.
The history of stocks and shares investments over the past 10 years have left many investors weary and afraid of the constant seesaw effect of dealing in stocks and shares.
Many investors nowadays are convinced that their future investments can grow stronger and safer embedded within the property markets of the world.
Overseas property investments abroad have catapulted to new heights following the introduction of low cost airlines and constant coverage of independent travel and overseas property programmes. More and more people from not only the UK but other major countries worldwide are proving that investment in overseas property is showing tremendous growth and return on investment with many seasoned investors jumping from one emerging property market to another.
There have never been so many property millionaires than there are at present with almost everyone wanting to own a property or investment overseas. The average man in the street is buying property abroad not only for holiday purposes but as a security for their old age.
investment property - pensions
With the pension fiasco of late in the UK many hard working people are taking control of their pension fund and investing it themselves into bricks and mortar in both the UK and emerging property markets abroad. People are finding that by investing in overseas properties many can create not only a possible rental yield but also sustained capital growth over the life of their pension fund thus ensuring them of a decent return in their twilight years. In fact many people forsee themselves selling up in the UK and using their overseas property as a retirement home and living off the capital from their UK property sale.
UK vs Overseas property investment
UK property investments typically have grown 9% year on year since 1918 but capital growth figures of 20 -30% per annum have been seen in recent years in the UK and yes it is true property prices do tend to double on average every 7-8 years as a rule of thumb. However, knowing when to move from UK property investing to overseas property investing is a fine art that takes time to master.
The overseas property market can be extremely lucrative if you know what you are doing and where to look. We have property investors who spend their entire time travelling from one emerging market to another taking with them knowledge gained in the previous market and attaching the same principles to the next.
Many overseas developers are offering investor incentives to lure their money into the right development and these include things like guaranteed rentals, leaseback investment property and generous off plan discounts most of which tend to be too good to be true. Sometimes they are! Be aware of what is on offer, do your sums and weigh up the opportunity before you take the plunge because for every 8 developments out there that are genuine there are a possible 2 that are somewhat suspect??
Wherever you intend to invest your hard earned cash be sure its as safe as possible to match your own investment criteria and if something seems too good to be true it's probably because it is. Take care and invest wisely. Here you can conduct your own Investment Property Search >
