Property Abroad group relaunches yet another satellite site

The Property Abroad Group have relaunched yet another one of their popular property satellite sites aimed at making the overseas property buyers search more specific to the areas of their choice.

The group who own hundreds of property related websites have embarked on a 3 year programme to redesign and relaunch many of their overseas property websites and have already made headway with the relaunch of sites like:

a property in bulgaria
a property in cyprus
a property in portugal
buying property in france
buying property in italy
buying a property in spain
buying property in turkey
investment property abroad
buying property abroad
sell my property

These come only 6 weeks after the group relaunched its flagship website www.property-abroad.com after 10 months of development and design work.

The group now also features a white-label product that allows other companies to feature the groups properties on their own website and it pays commissions on every lead generated. They also have a web services product for the more active development sites.

Our plans for 2009/10 is to relaunch the entire groups sites including its rental portfolio of property rental sites including the rent a villa abroad website which is undergoing a complete redevelopment.

For more details on the group visit their website property abroad.

English Property Bargains Present Investment Opportunity

The English property market is offering an abundance of fantastic investment opportunities, according to an industry expert. Liam Bailey chief market analyst for property portal Property Abroad said:

"I just can't believe the price of the off-plan units we are advertising. It's like the world has turned upside down. A big strength of recommending markets like Albania and Montenegro last year was that properties could be for a fraction of what they would cost in the UK, but now you can buy an off-plan 1 bedroom apartment in the UK for less than a 1 bedroom off-plan apartment in Montenegro, in comparable locations. These off-plan properties will grow in value rapidly when they are completed and the market recovery begins."

Property Abroad have several cut-price off-plan developments in England. One of the biggest bargains is the ManYoo off-plan development in Salford Quays, offering 2 bedroom luxury apartments in a prime waterfront location just outside Manchester city centre from just £113,000. When the UK economic recovery begins, whenever that may be, chic 2 bedroom pads like this on the outskirts of a major city could be worth anything from twice to even three or four times that amount.

Liam Bailey said about the ManYoo development:

"This is an incredible bargain. If I had the money, which unfortunately I don't due to my growing family shrinking my bank balance, I would buy a 2 bedroom apartment in the ManYoo development myself."

Another bargain English property listed by Property Abroad is The Rise development, offering 23 high-end 2 bedroom apartments on the outskirts of York for just £144,950. The apartments are 2 bedroom 2 bathroom properties, many including en-suite and changing room facilities. According to the developer the apartments are being released at 15% below their market value.

Property Abroad is also listing 1 bedroom apartments in central Leicester for just £91,847. The 53 1 and 2 bedroom luxury apartments have fitted kitchens, wood-strip or carpeted floors, under-floor heating, video entry and secure allocated parking.

Koh Phangan Property Perfect for Investment

Koh Phangan, a small island in the gulf of Thailand offers some of the finest property investment opportunities on the global market, according to overseas property portal Property Abroad. Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for the firm said:

"I began recommending Koh Phangan as a 'hot market' at the beginning of 2008, when I stated that the success of its big-brother, the then semi-mature Koh Samui, which had seen 50% annual growth the 2 years previous could be used as a guide as to the success of Koh Phangan, then only beginning to appear on the international property investment stage. But just as Koh Samui has been affected by the global situation, so Koh Phangan growth potential has been stunted, but this just makes it an even hotter investment destination.

"I have said before that property investors buying now are more often-than-not doing so for possible mid-long term gains. Right now, you can buy 10 Rai of tropical beach-front land, already divided into 8 plots and prepped for development for just £114,000. This will easily sell for three, four or even five times that -- depending on how patient its owner is -- during Asia's (and the world's) economic recovery, when it can easily be sold for development into an exclusive luxury resort of say 10 villas, each selling for £150,000 or more."

Property Abroad have several other excellent Koh Phangan investment properties. A larger plot of land located right on the very same beach as the one mentioned above, but a single plot with 45m of beach frontage, and again already prepped for building, i.e. underground drainage, water and electricity supplies already in place as well as a road to the plot, can be bought for just £200,000.

A smaller plot, but with 80 metres of beach frontage and the same building preparations in place is just £113,000.

All the above properties are capable of making massive capital gains when the global recovery takes place, which it inevitably will, not to mention the absolute bargain they present to people looking for a tropical beach-front holiday home.

Property Abroad has hundreds more investment properties in Thailand, and throughout Asia, find out more by visiting the site.

Bargain Barbados Properties from Property Abroad

Overseas Property Portal Property Abroad have announced the addition of some bargain properties in Barbados. They have Barbados properties, including apartments and villas starting from under £200,000.

Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for the portal said:
"These additions just go to show that the global financial situation is even bringing the possibility of snapping up bargain luxury properties in Caribbean markets like the crème-de-la- crème Barbados. When I first started working in this industry quarter acres of land were being sold for £225,000, on the coast in St Vincent, for Property Abroad to be listing 1 bedroom apartments in a luxury off-plan development with views of the beach on Barbados for just over £180,000 is amazing."

The development Liam was referring to is the Lakes village development, offering 1 bedroom apartments in Barbados' St Peter's for just £182,066. The Lakes village is situated on the high ground above mile & a quarter.

The village will be closed and become its own community, holding its own events while taking its own part in any regional events. The village, which also offers 2 and 3 bedroom apartments as well as detached 1, 2, and 3 bedroom villas, boasts a whole range of facilities and amenities including: a village hall, clubhouses, swimming pools, tennis courts, communal barbecues with gazebos, a wellness centre and a lakes centre with restaurant.

Another bargain Barbados property brought to you by Property Abroad is the 1 bedroom apartments offered within the Merricks Hotel Spa and Residence, located in the fantastic Merricks Cove and priced from just £225,000. Merricks Hotel, which also offers studios and 2 bedroom apartments, as well as cliff-top villas and Cabanas, is a particularly good buy because it has its own beach and a fantastic cliff top location in the stunning south east area of Barbados with only a 15 minute car journey to the International Airport and fantastic sea-views. The occupants receive the full benefits of all the 5* hotel and spa facilities, including spas, tennis-courts, swimming pools and much more.

World Bank Loan May Boost Polish Resale Market

The World Bank has agreed to give the Polish government the €975 million it asked for in the summer to help fund a series of fiscal reforms and wider economic changes aimed at improving conditions for businesses, develop more skilled workers and making public finances more efficient. The World Bank is also willing to send experts into Poland to help the government implement the changes.

Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for overseas property portal Property Abroad had this to say of the news:

"Poland is a very hard market to predict, but one thing that is for sure is that the type of reforms this money is to fund are badly needed. Millions of Polish citizens dispersed throughout Europe in search of employment that would pay decent wages, because of the gap between house prices and incomes brought on at least in part by Poland's appearance as an international property investment destination , and also in part by the government's failure to prepare for the emergence of such a gap. The inability of Poles to obtain mortgages was also a major problem, but this was also down to their having low incomes compare to house prices."

"If these reforms can increase the ability of working-class Polish citizens to make a decent living in their own country," continued Bailey. "Then it could prove to be very good news for the Polish resale market in years to come."

Property Abroad have some excellent properties in Poland , and according to director Les Calvert, the portal still receives a fair share of enquiries about Poland, when asked if these enquiries were primarily investors, Les replied:

"No, to be honest it's not fair to say primarily any type of buyer; it's a bit of a mix really."

Les also took the time to select his favourite Polish property:

The Bison Estates development is an off-plan complex of semi-detached and terraced houses priced from just £22,750 for a 1 bedroom unit. The development is located near Krakow and also close to a beautiful Polish nature reserve. The 1 bedroom units come complete with: Bathroom, Lounge, Garage, Parking Space, Driveway, Gardens, Central Heating, Double Glazing, Electricity and Telephone Points Installed.

Australia Property Boosted by Rate Cut

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), this week announced yet another interest-rate cut because of an expected fall in inflation. RBA cut its cash-rate, the equivalent of the Bank of England base rate, by 1%, taking it to 4.25%, its lowest rate since 2002. Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for overseas property portal Property Abroad gave his views on the rate-cut:

"You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that an interest rate cut is good news for overseas property buyers, but at a time when more and more Britons are considering immigrating to OZ, this is welcome news indeed. The reason given for the rate cut is a healthy one; that Australia is keen to keep its excellent record on inflation, by keeping it between 2 and 3%. This interest rate cut will not only potentially make mortgages easier to obtain, but perhaps make emigrating to Australia achievable for more people, when it is difficult to sell UK homes, by making taking a second mortgage less taxing."

Property Abroad have some excellent properties in Australia. For those emigrating decent size resale properties start at no-less that £250k, off-plan properties however can be bought for as little as £170,000 in Queensland, which gives an indication of the immediate gains possible on off-plan properties in Australia.

One such property is the Zone development in the centre of Australia's tourism capital, the gold-coast, in the fantastic seaside resort of Mermaid Beach. A 2 bedroom luxury apartment on the five-star Zone Development costs just £170,000. Because of the low prices and their location these properties are capable of attracting rental yields of 10% and over, because of the strong tourism market in the area. And as stated above they have the potential to make an immediate capital gain of at least 30%.

Property Abroad have hundreds of Australian properties throughout all of Australia's most popular regions. Find out more by visiting the site.

European Property Boosted by Credit-Crunch

Overseas property news is currently filled with Spain. One report released by the airline Monarch said that Cyprus, the Canary Islands and Malaga are currently their most popular destinations and that Spain is in fact more popular on the whole, this is particularly good news when you consider that Monarch also revealed that 43% more people have booked summer flights than this time last year.

Monarch also announced that 77% of respondents to a poll on the company website said the credit crunch would not reduce the number of flights they would go on next year, although 41% said they were looking to reduce costs.

Other Spanish news headlined Property Squeeze Hits Costa Teguise, concerned a popular location in Lanzarote that is beginning to be hit by the global situation. Meanwhile, other news told how Fuerteventura remains to be massively popular with tourists.

Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for overseas property portal Property Abroad gave us his views on what the latest news means for the various property markets:

“It is no shock to me that people plan to continue holidaying through the credit-crunch, in fact those that can afford it will tend to holiday more because of the considerable stress the current situation brings. This will be of benefit to the conventional European holiday hotspots including Spain, Turkey and up-coming Cyprus; because it will mean the holiday rental markets will remain strong.

“Just how much of a benefit it will be,” continued Bailey, “depends on how long the “credit-crunch” lasts; most people had made their holiday plans before the problems became severe and aren’t changing them. But if the problems continue three or four years down the line, then more and more people may pull-in-their-belts and holiday in Europe only – as I said, I can’t see many people, except the worst affected stopping holidaying altogether. However, more Britain’s may decide to holiday in the UK a few years down the line, which could boost holiday rentals in some of Britain’s holiday hotspots.”

Property Abroad have some excellent overseas property throughout all Europe’s holiday hotspots, including: property in Spain from £29,000, property in Cyprus from £31,000 and property in Turkey from £16,000.

Cape Verde Property to Grown and Grow

Described as the "hidden Caribbean" recently by a Lonely Planet author, Cape Verde's recent emergence as a favourite for overseas property investment has been almost completely fuelled by a massive increase in visitor numbers to the region.

Ron Hughes, proprietor of Cape Verde Travel, stated that the differing geography of the island attracts many different types of visitor, which should see tourism levels continue to grow.

Cape Verde offers fantastic white sandy beaches, as well as eco-tourism holidays, mountain walks, cultural life, music, and a rich history. It will also be boosted by the two new flights.

Overseas property portal Property Abroad recently named Cape Verde as the 10th most popular location in the world for those considering buying a Property Abroad for investment and as a holiday home.

Property Abroad have some fantastic properties in Cape Verde, including a fantastic studio on the island of Sal for just £23,370. The apartment block has the benefit of a lettings manager, securing strong rental usage all year round, and ensuring rental yields upwards of 5%.

Property Abroad are also advertising the fantastic Creola Sands; a beach-front development on Boa Vista, offering 1 bedroom luxury apartments from just £62,000. The apartments, which are on a fully equipped resort development with a pool and restaurant among many other amenities, come with letting management and a guaranteed rental yield of 5% for the first two years.

Property Abroad’s star Cape Verde property is a three bedroom, two bathroom beach-front villa in the Dunas Beach resort in Sal Island’s Ponta Preta resort area. Dunas Beach is a fully enclosed and secure luxury resort, right on-top of one of Ponta Preta’s finest beaches. Prices start from £209,966.

Property Abroad have many more fantastic properties in Cape Verde, throughout all regions and all price ranges. Find out more by visiting the site.

Italy Property Gains Popularity in "Noticeable Trend"

Italian properties have climbed two places to sixth most popular in property portal Property Abroad's top ten in the past two weeks. Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for the upcoming portal gave his views on the reasons for Italy property's rising popularity:

"The main reason for the rising popularity of Italian property is that it is a secure and stable established market, that hasn't seen massive growth for a good few years, but also hasn't seen any major drops since the credit crunch began. In uncertain times it seems property investors and holiday home buyers are ever-more keen to play it safe."

"This is a noticeable trend, he added "just as 2 years ago when investor and consumer confidence was high and finance was easy to obtain, the established markets like Italy and France began to lose popularity against emerging markets like Ukraine and Bulgaria -- because the latter offered a much higher potential gain. Now as consumer confidence drops, established markets like Cyprus, Italy and France are regaining their positions as most popular for overseas property purchasers."

Property Abroad have some excellent property in Italy, including a fantastic 2-storey Abruzzo property in need of complete restoration for just £7,432. This property offers the keen private or professional developer massive potential profit if they are willing to spend the necessary time. Property Abroad have many other bargain Italian properties in need of restoration.

Property Abroad also have a property in Campania for just under £30k. Factored into the price of the 1 bedroom villa is some minor interior and exterior restoration work where needed, electricity, plumbing, and telephone wiring, plus basic furnishing to permit immediate use of the property (including bed, table, chairs, kitchen and bathroom).

For those with a bigger budget, possibly looking for a luxury holiday home, Property Abroad's Les Calvert reccommended The Pizzo Beach Club, a development of studios, apartments, penthouses and villas starting from just £57,500. The development is located in Pizzo, in the Vibo Valentia region of Calabria. Les said:

"The location of these properties makes them ideal as either investments or holiday homes; the former because of the range of amenities on and around the resort including an excellent beach nearby, and the later because Calabria has been noted as a hot emerging market for a good few months now."

Property Abroad have over 900 Italian properties , visit the site to find out more.

American Properties Offering Fantastic Opportunities

Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, told a press conference that the number of international buyers operating in the sector "may be doubling over the next ten years". Yun also noted that 21 percent of US realtors believe there are more overseas buyers operating in the sector than there were five years ago, with a survey by the association revealing almost half of properties bought have been in the southern states.

Liam Bailey, chief market analyst for overseas property portal Property Abroad gave his views on the findings:

“This was always going to happen, it began about 5-6 months ago when the dollar began dropping severely against the pound and the US was one of the biggest climbers of A Place in the Sun’s overseas buyers survey for 2008. At that time I was regularly quoted as saying that the upsurge in US popularity was so great, and had such momentum that it, in itself was capable of generating a US property market recovery in the most popular areas.”

One such popular area, as identified by the US National Association of Realtors is the southern states, including Florida.

Property Abroad have some excellent properties in Florida , including, for those on a limited budget: an amazing two storey, two bedroom, town-house for just £65,000. The property has a private courtyard, massive living room and dining area with breakfast bar and the upstairs master bedroom has a superb en-suite bathroom. It also has Powder rooms with laundry facility on the main floor, a new roof (still under warranty), new air/heat combination (also under warranty) and a new digital thermostat.

As part of a community the buyers will enjoy use of the community swimming pool and tennis-courts, the fees for which are just $80 per month – this also includes maintenance of the gorgeous grounds and sprinkler system. The property is fantastic value because it is just 60 miles from Disney World.

Property Abroad has hundreds of American properties , throughout all the most popular states; visit the site to find out more.

Canada One of Finest Property Investment Destinations

Since Canada was named as the host country for the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics there has been a massive upsurge of tourists going on ski vacations to Canada. One particularly popular destination is Quebec, with many various fantastic slopes to choose from. Liam Bailey; chief market analyst for overseas property portal Property Abroad gave his comments on “one of his favourite” investment markets in the world.

“As people who have read my comments on Quebec in The Times and other publications before will know it is one of my favourite locations in the world in terms of investing in property. It is, quite simply, and as far as I’m concerned undoubtedly one of the few markets in the world where you can bank on an all year round rental income; my opinion on the reason for this is that it just has so much going for it, many things are of course shared by other locations in Canada. “

“The sheer variety of wildlife alone attracts people in their droves, which of course changes drastically throughout all the seasons, therefore giving Quebec all year round wildlife visitors. Then you have the fresh spring, and lovely warm but still fresh summers to enjoy the fishing, wildlife and/or just exploring the beautiful countryside. Autumn is amazing anywhere, but the crispness of being so far into the northern hemisphere makes the Canadian autumn just that little bit more special. Montreal – the Monte-Carlo of Northern America -- is a massive plus for Quebec. Then to move onto the skiing you have the absolutely breathtaking Mt Tremblant, which is unarguably one of the finest skiing locations in the world. “

Property Abroad has some excellent property in Canada , including a 2 bed Canadian style chalet , on the Rouge River resort in the Laurentian Mountains. 100-miles of the fantastic trout-filled Rouge River runs through the resort, with a 100-mile bicycle track running along the banks. All owners are given full-rights to fish on the river. The woods weaving up the Laurentian Mountain range away from the river are excellent for exploring in the summer, and have cross-country ski-trails in winter. This perfectly complements the world-class alpine skiing of Mt Tremblant, which is just 45mins to an hour away from the resort -- Montreal can be reached in 90mins.

Rouge River resort’s proximity to both these tourist attracting locations gives this unit another added benefit: the fact that it is being sold privately for a quick-sale at just £22,500, means that you can charge far less than Mt Tremblant or Montreal’s rental rates, and still easily make 10-12% rental yields. Capital appreciation will be at least 30% immediately when the resort is complete (when all chalets are built), and average 10% per year in the foreseeable future.

New Flights to Boost Faro Property Market

Now may be the time to add the Algarve to the list of destinations worthy of consideration for property investment, as it has been revealed that Faro airport in the Algarve region of Portugal is set to receive flights from three more British airports. Low-cost airline Easyjet will run flights from Glasgow, Liverpool and the East Midlands airports, alongside the existing flights from Dublin, Stansted and Shannon.

Liam Bailey, chief market analyst of upcoming overseas property portal Property Abroad, gave his views on how the new flights could affect the property market:
"Obviously anything that boosts tourism in a region -- especially a top tourism destination like the Algarve -- is going to be good news for the property market, as we have seen so many times before. Increased tourism means increases in the usage of rental properties; this will put an almost instant increase on the value of Algarve properties in popular tourism areas -- especially Faro. "
"But it is likely to have an even bigger impact on the Algarve property market," continued Bailey, "because of the amount of people that -- fed up with package holidays -- are currently arranging their own holiday accommodation, and taking advantage of budget flights. As this wave increases rental yields on Faro and Algarve property, as well as boosting the local economy, Algarve, and especially Faro property prices are set to see an above average rise of 10%-15% per year over the next 5-10 years."

Surprisingly, Algarve property, especially in Faro, can still be purchased relatively cheaply, given that the Algarve is one of Europe's foremost holiday destinations.
Property Abroad has almost 3000 properties in the Algarve from as little as £44,000. Les Calvert Property Abroad's director picked out his best property for those on a limited budget and his favourite property for those putting the ultimate in luxury before price.

"For those making an investment or buying a holiday property on a tight budget, we currently have an absolutely gorgeous 1 bedroom apartment priced at £44,722, and not far from the airport in the Algarve's Faro. The 70sqm apartment has a balcony, comes with a fully equipped kitchen and is in a new building with an elevator. We also have another bargain apartment in Faro, and to roughly the same specs just a little bit more expensive at £44,891, because it has excellent ocean views."

"For those with a little bit more to spend on their ultimate luxury property," Les continued. "We have an absolutely mind-blowing 3 bedroom villa in Faro's Tavira. The size of the balcony is almost as breathtaking as the ocean views stretching as far as the horizon, from where seems like almost directly below it. Such an incredible villa will set you back, £220,220, but given that similar properties are going for over £1million in more established parts of the Algarve, this property has real money making potential as the new flights give Faro's tourism a new lease of life."

Greece Tipped to Slide through Credit Crunch

According to several recent reports by reputed industry sources Greece's economy and property market are geared up to survive the global downturn better than most in Europe, with The Telegraph putting Greece at the heart of a "new financial Europe".
Les Calvert, director of rapidly growing overseas property portal
Property Abroad concurred with the report:

"With very little in the way of banking catastrophes being reported, and banks guaranteeing all deposits, Greece does indeed look sufficiently stable to weather the global financial storm relatively intact. Greek banks have been among the best performing in Europe over the past few months, and the consistent availability of mortgage finance has seen continually rising property prices -- on top of the impressive rise of more than 200% in the past 15 years."
Property Abroad currently has a vast array of
properties for sale in Greece, including a small studio cottage in need of renovation for £11k, and tens of other Greek properties under £40k all in need of a little work but with great money-making potential.

According to Les Calvert, director of property abroad, one of the best opportunities is the off-plan 5* Halcyon Hills development right on one of Samos Islands gorgeous coastlines. Halcyon Hills offers ground floor suites from £160,000, and top floor apartments that make the most of the developments' spectacular sea-views from £187,000. Halcyon Hills also offers an array of other property types including luxury villas, all of which offer fantastic value for money.
Liam Bailey, Property Abroad's chief market analyst said:

"Properties like the Halcyon Hills development have amazing money making potential, with the possibility that they will be worth something in the region of twice the asking price immediately after completion, because of the usual risk affected discount given for buying off-plan property, especially at mid-level prices. The good thing about said immediate profit on Greece property is the seemingly never-ending supply of buyers coming from the financially strong Balkans, Russia and other affluent locations in northern Europe, which will allow today's investors to realise their profits tomorrow."

Dubai's new airport terminal opens for business

The connectivity of Dubai has received a significant boost with the opening of a new terminal at its international airport.

Terminal 3 opened for business today, although the facility is set to expand further as part of an incremental expansion.

As a result, Dubai International Airport will be able to handle a greater number of flights to destinations such as the US, Europe and South America.

This should significantly enhance its appeal among leisure and business travellers, which in turn may lead to extra interest among foreign property buyers.

According to Arabian Business, consumers are hopeful that the introduction of the new terminal will go smoothly.

A poll carried out by the media outlet found that 85 per cent believe it will go to plan, avoiding the type of scenes witnessed at Heathrow's Terminal 5 earlier this year.

Meanwhile, more than one in three respondents said aviation officials have done a good job in preparing for the opening.

International Real estate

The overseas property and international real estate market has continued to suffer from the current credit crunch as more people tighten their purse strings to ride out the financial storm.

Buying real estate on an international basis has always proved a sure winner for the serious overseas property and real estate investor but recent figures have shown a slow down in the international investors forums.

Having said that, for those able to take advantage of the current market situation there are some amazing bargains to be had in the international arena.

The Celebration Group have a great development called Cane Island some 4 miles from Disney in Florida where the properties come completely furnished, with a 70% mortgage in place and a rental pool capable of returning sufficient funds to cover your overseas mortgage payments.

Other investment property abroad are available in many countries and we reccommend that you look around especially if you are in a position to be able to proceed in this current climate.

We would be interested to hear your comments on how the credit crunch is affecting your business or private life.

Britons set to boost Spanish market

News brought to you by Property Abroad - specialists in overseas property investments.


Spain's housing market could be set to receive a boost from overseas property buyers in the UK, experts have suggested.According to CityWire, many people in the UK are looking at buying a place in the sun now that the holiday season has come to an end.The news provider highlighted Spain as one of the most popular locations among British consumers, partly because it offers "attractively priced" homes. Britain's poor weather was flagged up as one of the main factors which is driving people overseas, as the country has recently experienced a "wet and depressing" summer.

CityWire commented: "That holiday home abroad looks even more tempting than usual, in spite of the credit crunch."This comes after investment funds analyst Moneyspider.com predicted a surge in the amount of interest from prospective expatriates.The organisation believes "grey and windswept" conditions in the UK could lead to more people looking to move abroad on a permanent basis.

However it would be ideal if they segmented the investment properties in various countries and regions throughout the world such as investment property in Spain and investment property in Turkey etc... Would the creators please take this into account?

If anyone else know of any tailored investment property websites that i could visit then go ahead and list them here! Also does anyone know a good resource where I can resell my investment properties to a targetted audience?
