Porto Dos Corais has just announced that they will be offering a guaranteed return of 5% of the original purchase price for the initial 2 years from date of completion. After that, there will still be a management company on site to carry out the rental of your unit under a split income scheme, of which the details have still not been released, but of course I will post them up here as soon as they are.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this development, it is one of the only, if not the only, bank guaranteed investments in Brazil just 150 meters from the beach in Maracajau, which is 50 km north of Natal and often referred to as the Caribbean of Brazil.

Well it has been a long and hot summer, well for some of us anyway, and it is time once again time to get back down to business, which is exactly what Harlequin, the developers of Merricks Beach Resort in Barbados and Two Rivers in The Dominican Republic, have set out to do with the announcement of The Island Sanctuary at all of their developments throughout the Caribbean that are currently under construction.
The Island Sanctuary will be host to the exclusive spa centres on each of the developments and will also be home to a very select number of Spa Villas. All of these villas will work in the exact same way as all of the other properties in the developments and will come with the 2 years guaranteed rental income for the initial 2 years followed by 50% of the room share.
Investors will have the option of financing 100%, which includes unsecured lending as well as secured lending, or a remortgage, and a guaranteed 70% LTV mortgage on completion of the property.
The brochures and final pricing have not yet been released, but I have given you all a little tease of what they are going to look like at completion.
If you are interested in The Island Sanctuary please contact us for further details or check back here for updates.

We have just got on board with an amzing new development located just outside of Natal, which is being built and designed by world renowned Crest Homes Architects from Scandinavia. They have been selling this actual development in phases over the last year or so, which is the first bank guaranteed build in Brazil, and I had only just come across it when I met up with one of their chief designers in Madrid about a week or so ago. It has been selling quite well for them as the only have around 60 units left from 341.

To give you some further insight, Brazil itself is being highly touted as a boom market as of late and is attracting the attention of many savvy investors and holiday-home owners from the UK, Europe and increasingly, the US. All the fundamentals are there for a sound investment. A fantastic climate, wonderful scenery, low property prices with freehold ownership, a low cost of living, a flourishing economy and a burgeoning tourist market make it easy to see why Brazil is on everyone’s list of top property investments.
Furthermore, Brazil is estimated to become one of the largest economies on the planet and is being mentioned in the same breath as other huge emerging economies such as China and India. Within Brazil, the primary boom is taking place in the North East as Natal is the most cosmopolitan and safest of all the cities of Brazil. It is also the easiest to get to and has the cheapest and shortest flights from the UK. They are also building another airport which is planned for 2009 along with more than 10 golf courses. Porto dos Corais will be reachable in just 25 minutes from the new airport, which will be the largest in all of Latin America.

A recent modification in French Law has now made it even more attractive for investors looking to claim their own little piece of France.
Up until recently, France was one of those markets that we sort of stayed clear from. Not because I haven’t thought that it would make a great investment, but more for the fact that the laws for recovering the VAT and the restrictions for selling up were just a little too complex for my liking.
Under French leasebacks it used to be that you could claim the VAT back right from the start, which is a whopping 19.6%, as long as it was in the leaseback scheme. The downside, was that if you sold it at anytime within the first 20 years after completion of construction, you would have to pay back a proportionate amount of the VAT that you had already recovered back to the French taxman. This was essentially handcuffing you to the property for 20 years in order to maximize your return on investment.
Thankfully, this has all changed with this recent modification, which allows you to sell at anytime without having to pay any of the VAT back to the French taxman. You still have to pay it up front, however, but you can claim the full 19.6% as soon as the sale has gone through.
By removing this barrier the leaseback schemes have become not only a lot more appealing to investors and the flippers, but it will also increase the liquidity of resales in the French property market.
I still believe that there is a lot of ‘red tape’ in the French market, but with expert advice France is still, and always will be, one of the most solid and secure markets in the world.
