Holiday property investment

It can prove cheaper to buy a new property abroad than to spend out on annual holiday accommodation. By purchasing a property abroad and letting it out for just six months of the year, you can effectively holiday free and earn enough through rental fees to pay for the property outright after just five years depending on the house and location of course. While a couple may spend an average £1,000 in peak season on accommodation for a week’s summer holiday, they could opt instead to purchase a new holiday apartment in the same area, which they could frequent as often as they desired and secure a profitable income from holiday rentals. Over as little as five years, this could lead to enough in holiday rentals to effectively pay for the property, any overheads and other property related costs. The internet today has made it increasingly easy to research and purchase property abroad. Purchasing a new property abroad can be a great investment. It can offer you a guaranteed holiday destinatio...

If you have been watching the property market in Bali and Phuket for the past six years you would have noticed an economic and morphological synergy for these two leading foreign property investment destinations in Southeast Asia. The majority of people who buy simply fall in love with the tropical lifestyle, but the market has now grown to include people who are after a good property investment. The property market in Phuket and Bali has remained strong with prices rising. The increasing interest for investors is greatly attributed to what is being referred to as a ‘lifestyle investment’. The concept is simple. You purchase a property with the intention of getting back a return, through rental income, a capital gain by selling at a profit and the added bonus of yourself and friends and family being able to enjoy the property for holidays and long weekends.

This summer like all new seasons saw the introduction of more holiday lettings than ever. The location, quality and variety do not only make for the perfect holiday, but also offer great investment opportunities for those looking to invest in property abroad. The Lighthouse in Burnham-on-Sea is the first of its kind in the UK that is available to rent all year round. Built in 1830 the impressive lighthouse sleeps up to 6 and stands 110 feet (33 meters) tall with round shaped rooms covering 8 floors with panoramic views on a clear day of up to 22 miles. After a stay living and sleeping in a lighthouse, waking up in your bedroom at home will never be the same again. Or maybe you would choose a Watermill in Tuscany, especially one that has been restored to retain many of its original features. The sitting room has the original mill stones, with views of the mill workings from the glass panel on the floor, something you won’t find in your typical B&B. Set within a chestnut covered wood...

Problems arise when you start looking for property in Spain. There are so many companies with different offerings that it becomes almost impossible to settle for the best deal. Another problem is that large organisations offer a plethora of properties but the service you get is often rushed and impersonal. Van den Hout Enterprises claim to differ by offering personal hands-on real estate services using a large international property network. Sounds ideal but is it possible? CEO Paul van den Hout has been involved in Spanish and international property multinationals for over 18 years. He therefore recognises that it is crucial for a all round consultant to offer a broad range of services. Using a unique concept of a 'virtual office' Van Der Hout Enterprises provides a platform of external specialists in all aspects of the property market, including real estate search, sales promotions, mortgages and insurances. If the large agencies have let you down or you just want a more pe...

If you want tax relief on a development investment you can now back a particular development. Publication of the Finance Act at the end of July confirmed that indirect residential property ownership is permitted within a SIPP . So investors looking for a hands-off approach to residential property investment can now find eligible investments for a self-invested personal pension ( SIPP ). Developing can be much more profitable than a straight investment in existing property. With most residential units sold off-plan, the risk to investors is reduced. Developer funding involves providing equity to a developer in addition to bank lending, to finance a scheme. A developer typically requires 10% to 30% of the total scheme cost in cash, with the rest provided by bank lending. It is common to find developers with more opportunities than cash, which presents an opportunity for investors to raise the capital required and receive a priority return. With the passing of the Finance Act a few days ...

It was announced this week that Bulgaria's Linexa Property is planning a 20 million euro investment building a new residential complex to be constructed in Bulgaria's coastal town of Kavarna. Kavarna's mayor Tsonko Tsonev revealed the plans for the new complex which is going to be placed near a golf course. Construction work has began and the 420-apartment complex is expected to be completed within two years. The complex is the latest in a series of large-scale UK, Spanish and French property investment over the past years. Some of the projects include the construction of a golf course, hotels and holiday villages. The increased interest in Kavarna property resulted in a record income from land deal taxes. The Bulgarian real estate market has seen rapid growth and is expected to grow even further after the country's EU entry in 2007.
