Property Investment in Thailand

New developments and value for money has led Thailand to become an attractive prospect for investors, it is claimed.

The country’s second city of Chai Mai is tipped by experts to become a popular investment choice thanks to the construction of a new highway that will connect the city to Kunming, southwest China.

Investors are pointed toward the city of Bangkok or southern beach resorts in order to “get a foot” on the property ladder.

Thai law prevents foreigners from owning land meaning “apartments are the more common choice” for property investors.

After the tsunami of 2004 caused severe damage in 2004 and with health risks such as avian flue posing a risk to south-east Asian countries, investors are advised to take comprehensive legal advice before buying in the country.

The Thai government’s latest Board of Investment survey revealed that foreign investors from Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and the US currently make up the majority of foreign investors.

Golf enhances Property Investment in Spain

Golf is now estimated to be generating more than 900 million euros in the Malaga province every year. The province stretches from Nerja in the east to Gibraltar in the west and is home to many excellent golf courses including those on Marbella’s golden golf mile.

With an average round costing upwards of 50 euros per person and a multitude of courses to suit all levels, golfing holidays mean big bucks for property investors in the area. “Buying near a golf course will significantly boost the rental potential of your property” says a local property expert.

New courses indicate investment in a region and it is worth looking at plans for new golf resorts to see where those in the know are putting their money.

Local Area

Manchester is a city and metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, England. Manchester was granted city status in 1853. It has a population of 452,000, and lies at the centre of the wider Greater Manchester Urban Area, which has a population of 2,240,230, the United Kingdom’s third largest conurbation. Manchester has the second largest urban zone in the UK and the fourteenth most populated in Europe.

Forming part of the English Core Cities Group, often described as the second city of the UK,and the “Capital of the North”, Manchester today is a centre of the arts, the media, higher education and commerce. In a poll of British business leaders published in 2006, Manchester was regarded as the best place in the UK to locate a business.A report commissioned by Manchester Partnership, published in 2007, showed Manchester to be the “fastest-growing city” economically. It is the third most visited city in the United Kingdom by foreign visitors. Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and among its other sporting connections are its two Premier League football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Historically, most of the city was a part of Lancashire, with areas south of the River Mersey being in Cheshire. Manchester was the world’s first industrialised city and played a central role during the Industrial Revolution. It was the dominant international centre of textile manufacture and cotton spinning. During the 19th century it acquired the nickname Cottonopolis, suggesting it was a metropolis of cotton mills. Manchester City Centre is now on a tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, mainly due to the network of canals and mills constructed during its 19th-century development.

Property Investment in Central and Eastern Europe

Slovakia could be seen as a solid overseas investment. Property is reasonably priced, the economic growth is strong, there is no capital gains tax on long term property holdings and rental income tax is low. The stream of investment money into the country implies that economic growth will continue strong and reform will remain on course.

Gross rental yields of 10% can be attained in Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital but there are high transaction costs on purchase.

Gross rental yields are 8% in Bucharest, Romania, and again there is no capital gains tax.

Property prices are fairly low in Budapest but Hungary’s economic growth is weak.

Estonia has emerged as the strong eastern European country with staggering property prices – a huge 246% in the last 5 years. However, property is becoming more costly.

Despite the positives mentioned above, the Ukraine and Russia have many drawbacks which make them unattractive overseas investments. In particular, Russia has an uncertain political environment and can be considered as very expensive. However, solid economic growth could make it appealing for some investors.could be seen as a solid overseas investment.
