'By the way think the site is great and have been to quite a few auctions St Albans, Watford & Bedford. I am making a nice little second income, but certainly not retiring, am going to take a week off work to check out the midweek sales to see if goods are any cheaper at these.

New French Lease Back Opportunity – 1st Phrase, 100% Mortgages

Firstly, an update from VPP:

Viceroy Park – Turks & Caicos Update – Immediate $10,000 Gain
Viceroy Park Properties has experienced an extremely good response to its latest beautiful Caribbean development. Pricing within the Block I apartments being offered in the Turks & Caicos have since been increased by the developer by some $10,000 US per apartment. However, the developer will honour our original discounted member prices. This has in effect further increased the discounts available to you to between 15% and 17% per apartment.

Several of our members have made enquiries with regards to other apartments within Phase 1 and it seems some may have confused Block I with similar Blocks A, C and D within the very same scheme. Apartments in Block I are significantly bigger and benefit from having two bathrooms (specifically designed for the American market) as well as far lower deposit terms. In addition, apartments in Blocks A, C and D are also available to our members with strong discounts and very good deposit terms if required.

To view all new pricing on the complete development, please visit

http://www.viceroyparkproperties.co.uk. Peter Parfait’s readers get free Membership (quote “HPA10”). A lovely video of the Turks & Caicos can also now be requested from our office. If you would like to discuss this opportunity in more detail, then please contact Steve Mahony & Lee Harley on 0121 609 7095.

This from Mark Sawyer of The Property Association:

New French Lease Back Opportunity – 1st Phrase, 100% Mortgages
The Property Association has another super investment deal in Paris starting from only £68,000. This is a pre-release opportunity with 1st phase prices and up to 100% mortgages available (subject to status).

It’s just 15 minutes from EuroDisney and the last project they offered in this area was so popular it saw prices increases of 30%. With the 19.6% saving in VAT this equates to a gain of 46%. These apartments are no different and offer a great opportunity to capitalise on a growing area.
TPA are working to tight deadlines and therefore ask all interested parties to move quickly in order to benefit from this excellent opportunity.

Full details can be found in the overseas section of our members’ area at http://www.ThePropertyAssociation.co.uk. To reserve a property, please telephone the enquiries and reservations hotline on 0845 060 6677, e-mail info@ThePropertyAssociation.com or visit the website at. As per usual, existing associates will have first option.

This just in from Jonty & Alise Crossick of Ready 2 Rent:

Montenegro – Beautiful Views, Beautiful Returns
We have been working hard to uncover excellent new markets with the promise of beautiful locations and excellent returns. Having researched several new countries, we believe that the timing is perfect for Montenegro, which borders Croatia.

You may have heard our analogy about property markets being like parties: you don’t want to be the first in, because you never know if anyone else is going to turn up; and you don’t want to be last, either, because who likes doing the washing up? Getting in at the right time is crucial. Well, we can tell you the party has stated in Montenegro and you couldn’t get a better time to enter than now. The political situation is now secure. In all economic areas they are independent. They enjoy one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe – it is essentially a continuation of the glorious Croatian coastline. The margins are excellent for development and supply is constrained, so sales are expected to be strong. This is Tuscany plus Switzerland on the Adriatic Sea.

So, if you want to share in the developer’s profits and roll these into off-the-plan discounted property, you can. Or you can take the share of developer’s profits in cash and move on. It’s your choice.

And now a fabulous finance deal from Stuart Buchanan at Business & Investment Finance. Stuart has a great firm with amazingly innovative concepts and super customer service. Highly recommended:

Are You Maximising Your Portfolio? Make It Work For You, with BIF
On a daily basis, I take calls or receive e-mails from property investors who have built up substantial residential and/or commercial property portfolios. In most cases their existing portfolio has been financed by a combination of ‘buy-to-let’ mortgages for residential properties and uncreative funding from banks for commercial properties.

What I find strange is that the portfolio’s finance usually appears to have been assessed on the basis of individual property purchase rather than as part of a long-term investment strategy. A long-term strategy normally takes into consideration how large a portfolio the investor wishes to build, whether they’ll be using existing equity to support additional finance and what cash flow requirements the investor has. Other factors that need to be considered are: will there be a requirement to release cash, or could there be a change in strategy, for instance, purchasing property that’s in need of refurbishment rather than buying ‘off the peg’ investments?
The desire to retire abroad is becoming increasingly popular. If an investor is seriously considering this, or spending a significant amount of time out of the country, it could make sense to set up an offshore company through which future property investments could be made.

Once all these factors have been taken into consideration, it is time to analyse the portfolio and identify the best way to structure a funding proposal. At this stage I will take into consideration other factors as well. What are lenders looking for? What properties are they interested in? Are they happy with the different sorts of tenant in the portfolio? It’s always fascinating how certain lenders will not lend on properties that other lenders consider to good quality investments.
Taking all of these factors into consideration, I operate a portfolio analysis service where I review investors’ existing portfolios. After taking all of their objectives into consideration, I will then advise on a future funding strategy that will include recommending suitable lenders.
It’s a service that is proving to be immensely popular with investors who are frequently surprised by the amount of buying power I am able to leverage from their portfolios.
If you’re interested in having your portfolio analysed, please e-mail me, Stuart Buchanan, at Stuart@bifonline.co.uk with details of your portfolio including values, existing loans, rental income, and tenant type. Or, if you prefer, telephone 01786 832233.

Opportunities just come in from readers:

3 Quickies:

Algarve 70,000 Euro Discount: Villa with swimming pool - valued by three separate agents at 500,000 euros is being discounted to 430,000 euros for Peter Parfait’s readers for quick sale (due to personal circumstances). With huge rental potential, the194 m2 villa, in a plot of 1984 m2, is located on the edge of Cabeca das Pias development within walking distance of the 2 Pestana golf courses, near Carvoiero in the Algarve. Only 3 years old, it comprises entrance hall, lounge with log burning fire, separate dining room, fully fitted kitchen, three large bedrooms, two luxury bathrooms (one en-suite), guest toilet. It is air-conditioned and double glazed with reflective glass and has a heated swimming pool and double garage. Interested parties should call Mel Cater on 07985008828 or melvyn.cater@tiscali.co.uk or further details can be found on his rental site http://www.casapalmela.com.

Kosovo – Land For Sale – Only £18,000 - I am offering for sale an excellent piece of land near Pristina in Kosovo. It is large enough for 2 small houses and is part of a large building development soon to be constructed alongside the highway to Pristina. The main infrastructure will be completed within the next few weeks and 2 houses have already been built. Both plots together are now available at only £18,000, but with Kosovan independence due at the end of the year, this land is sure to increase in value, by at least £6,000-£8,000, over the next 12 months. Interested parties should telephone Fadil Guncati on 00 377 44 604 803, or Ilain Lennard on 01344 451851.

Investment Opportunity in Turkey, from £7,000 - Having just come back from spending time in Turkey, we have come across a fantastic investment opportunity for all like-minded property anoraks. Only just released to non-nationals from the Turkish Government, a future urbanisation of 2000 land plots, each consisting of 705 sqm2, which will be more than suitable for a 3-bed/2-bath detached villa. Now, with only a few plots remaining for foreign investors, this is a real investment opportunity not to be missed. The urbanisation is set in a mountain valley with outstanding views, and only 3km from the beautiful village and beach resort of Akbuk, which is 14km from Altinkum and only an hour’s drive from Bodrum airport. Unlike many Spanish developments the facilities on this urbanisation are already under construction and will include a number of swimming pools, shops, tennis courts, park/green areas and a medical centre. With Turkey currently experiencing 30% pa property inflation, you have the opportunity to either build your own home in your own time, or retain the plot for its future inevitable resalable price increase.

Prices start from as little as £7,000 to £14,000 + 3% arrangement fee – depending on location or view. We have first class, reliable contacts with the land agents in Turkey who can secure your plot within a number of weeks. Should you choose to build on your plot, we can also arrange for builders to construct your dream house in a time scale that suits you. For this and other property opportunities and off-plan developments in Turkey please contact Nancy Witham on 01376 340821 or at nancy.witham@tesco.net
