Overseas Property Investment Deals
Our recommended overseas property investment deals - these will either be in high capital growth areas, have good yields, or be very good below market value deals. There are some economies growing at 3-5 times the rate of the UK economy as a whole, and there are many housing markets at very early stages – with finance markets only just opening up – offering huge potential. We would always look for a combination of undervalued markets, growing economies, a stable legal and political environment, and significantly strong leverage – the rates of borrowing – available to foreign investors when choosing an overseas property investment. Combine all these factors and several countries and cities will stand out. Countries like the Czech Republic and Poland, Turkey and 2-3 others will be prominent for us this year - as they offer excellent overseas property investment opportunities. However as with any investment, and in particular overseas property investment, please do your own due diligence, and do some independent research before committing to any purchase. Make sure you have a clear idea of the buying/selling costs and costs to finance, or sell, the property when looking at buying property overseas. Have a clear strategy and be sure any overseas property investment you make fits in with your overall strategy. It is very easy to go off track when you see what looks a fantastic deal - but be sure this fits what you are trying to achieve over the next 3-20 years. If you do this correctly you can do very well with overseas property investment. Look out for deals in several Eastern and Central European countries, such as Poland, Czech Republic and Lithuania, as well as more established countries over the next few months, offering some excellent overseas property investment opportunities.

Poland
Why Invest in Poland? For our latest deal in Poland - download at Wroclaw Investment Opportunity The size of Poland, and the number of major cities there means it is almost essential for any property investor to have properties in Poland in their overseas property investment portfolio.
Poland is a leader on the continent in terms of economic transformation. Since joining the European Union in 2004 the country continues to implement bold political and economic changes. The effective absorption of EU funds has meant improved infrastructure which is key for the successful implementation of large scale investments. It is simply the youth, determination and excellent qualifications of the workforce that continue to lure FDI into Poland.
Investment statistics:
- Ranked number 1 in Europe in terms of planned investments* - Ranked number 4 in the world for R&D investments* - Ranked number 5 in the world in terms of best locations for FDI** Values calculated on a 0-3 scale - GDP growth (5% in 2006) two times faster than western Europe. Human Capital - 50% of Poles are under the age of 34 - 35% of Poles are under the age of 25 - 427 higher education institutions train more than - 2 million university-level students.
Polish market figures - Poland’s population: 38 million - Retail market boasts 10% annual growth rate - 250 million consumers within 1,000 km span - Poland bridges key markets to the east and west
Why Invest in Wroclaw? Wroclaw is a dynamic cosmopolitan centre at the forefront of change in the “new” Europe and fits very nicely with any overseas property investment. As the capital of the province of Lower Silesia and Poland’s fourth largest city, Wroclaw is a strong economic, scientific and cultural centre. Wroclaw is currently one of the fastest developing residential markets in Poland.
According to calculations made by Knight Frank based on data obtained from the Central Statistical Office, there is a shortfall of approximately 42,000 units in Wroclaw. It would take over 16 years to satisfy the demand created by the households if the sector developed at the pace of some 2,600 units annually.
So a booming economy – with GDP growth at over 5% per annum, and prominent in many sectors – so not reliant on any one – a huge force in the automotive, financial, electronics and IT industries.
Demand for residential units on all selected regional residential markets has been affected by the growing availability of mortgage financing. This is characterized by decreasing mortgage interest rates. Moreover, the number of young people born in the “baby boom” of 70’s and 80’s who are perceived as the potential first buyers, account for over 26% of the Wroclaw population.
Additionally, Wroclaw and surrounding areas have recently welcomed several foreign investors who plan to create around 100,000 employment opportunities in the next four to five years.
Low Capital Outlay
Initial capital outlay is minimal with 85–100% finance available. Prices range from £53,000 to £65,000 which represents excellent value for apartments of this size and specification.
Apartment Price £53,000 - £59,000 Reservation Fee £1,500 10% deposit within 28 days £5,300 - £5,900 Legal Fees £500 Finance Fees £500
Total Outlay £7,800 - £8,400
Summary
This deal for me is very low risk and high reward – a rare but fantastic combination.
There is no doubt how well the economy is doing – by the sheer number of Multinationals there and the young, ambitious work force. There is also no doubt there is a massive shortage of housing in Wroclaw. Combine this ideal location with this deal, where we have packaged it so you get a fully finished apartment, with a very strong experienced local team. With high rental returns, higher capital growth and low cost of borrowing – so crucial in achieving a high return on investment - this deal ticks every box when looking for the ideal overseas property investment!

For our latest deal in Istanbul - download at Istanbul Investment Opportunity I have been following the progress of the Turkey property, and in particular, the Istanbul property market, for a number of years now. Istanbul is one of the fastest growing emerging markets in the world. There are clear economic reasons for continued growth in the future - and Istanbul is again an excellent option when looking at overseas property investment. My aim was to wait until mortgages were available to foreign investors before entering the market personally. With the recent availability of 65% LTV mortgages investors can now benefit from the use of leverage in a rapidly growing economy. Why Istanbul? Istanbul accounts for over 40% of the Turkish economy. Istanbul is a city with massive growth potential for the future. It is the financial capital of Turkey and is split in half by the famous Bosphorus river. Major multinational companies have relocated their workforce to Istanbul due to its strategic position as a bridge from the eastern to western world. The demand for residential units in Istanbul is massive with a shortfall of 250,000 units per year - and this reason alone means when looking at the Turkey property market, Istanbul should be the first place to target. Land prices in recent years have grown at a tremendous rate due to the restricted availability of residential land to developers. A large number of multinational commercial developers have entered Istanbul in recent years. The Dubai based investment group Sama Dubai made a $705 million dollar investment in commercial land in Istanbul alone. Istanbul has a buoyant rental market for mid market property, and the potential for even further capital appreciation is predicted due to the recent availability of mortgages to the local population. The opening of mortgage markets is a crucial indicator for growth in most emerging markets.
Capital appreciation forecasts Residential values grew by 33% in 2006 and similar figures are set to continue in 2007/2008. Due to the chronic shortage of housing stock in Istanbul the demand for housing is at an all time high. The growth in capital appreciation will be further accelerated by the ready availability of mortgage products to the local market, this will make the possibility of home ownership available to a much wider population.
Key Info Prices from £50,048 Capital appreciation forecasted at 30% per annum Mortgage paid for 2 years! 10 minutes from the famous F1 racing track. 12 minutes from international airport. Fully managed hassle free investment In area of excellent rental demand.

I will be concentrating on markets where value is good, and prices are still rising. There must be a good rental demand already, and prices must compare well in comparison to similar markets - comes down to the opportunity cost again.
Overseas property investment can be very attractive - and gives you an excuse to travel to some more exotic destinations than your traditional UK buy to let locations!
