Germany is making more and more sense as an out and out investment tool. For me it makes more sense as a lifestyle choice and the investment angle is merely an added bonus. I favour Dresden as it is outstandingly beautiful and is surrounded by a plethora of smaller towns equally outstanding...

Thanks for the thumbs up Dave - do you hold agricultural interests or have you already tried farming in the far east? My happy hunting ground until I left the whole property investment bubble behind me was in Germany. I just got sick of the hype and nonsense so prevalent regarding invesment in...

[URL="http://http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2012/01/eddy-biggs-and-his-piggy-fibs.html"] Take a look at the above - there is another story in the Daily Record re a Scottish couple who have lost money as a result. This story is spreading across the web I'm happy to say. The more...

Anyone wanting to discuss farming in Thailand?

Great now you're thinking like an investor and not a target. Just a hint try contacting Cesar (also posting on this subject) I have been in touch with Cesar before on the same subject. He has already purchased in Plauen and his experience may prove helpful to you. A useful contact in Eastern...

A couple of things you need to know before you purchase anywhere. WHY DO YOU WISH TO PURCHASE IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO USE THE PROPERTY FOR? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE AREA? CAN YOU SPEAK THE LANGUAGE? WHO WILL MANAGE THE PROPERTY IFYOU ARE GOING TO BE AN ABSENT...

Well done sir, I hope your investment gives you many years pleasure. Good luck Cesar.

Hello Cesar, Do a google search for this company. Property source Berlin. It is run by a native German by the name of Ilja Baudusch. It is based in Spandau but he is looking after some of my properties spread throughout the north. He can also arrange renting/accountancy/notary...

Hi Spence, Thanks for this. Wasn't aware of this auction. Give me a call. I guess you still have my tel nr and/or e-mail. It'd be interesting to have a catchup. We go by your neck of the woods occassionally, could always stop off and buy you a beer! Had a nice little block of...

Hi Cesar, Haven't posted here for a while. Nice to see you're still gathering info. Plauen is a very attractive mid size town in a lovely area. There are a few modern developments which are not necessarily desirable but most towns have them somewhere on the periphery...

I have never met Herr Knoblauch. I do know of him through a mutual acquaintance - his reputation is good. You will be in safe hands dealing with him. Beware - there have been other German property funds which have not made it through the financial mess we are all in. Germany is cheap but it is...

Absolute nonsense. Leipzig is no further away than Berlin. It is serviced through Altenburg-Nobitz airfield by Ryanair from Stansted and I believe Edinburgh. Dresden is also worthy of note for investors and is served by Gatwick. This guy is on the make and will direct you to his properties in...

Cesar, It is difficult in Germany to evict tenants. They are protected by law. If the apartment you want to buy is for your own use only please do not buy one which is Vermeitet. There are many apartments for sale on those site - you need to search for them using the right criterion. I...

Cesar - This is useful info. Immoscout and Immopool are a great source for buyers. Some of the agents will not speak English (and I guess even fewer will speak Portuguese) There are a couple of notaries I/My company have used in Dresden who speak faultless English. One of which has an...

Absolutely correct - where there is no bubble it cannot be burst. For those willing to negotiate hard, be patient, be clear what they want and do not want Germany is still the best all round location (safety is important) I currently deal in. You know I don't think I can remember the last time...

Delighted you found your dream. The Erzegebirg really is beautiful summer or winter. You're a lucky man sir. Take care. Mit fruendlich Groessen.

Don't get too excited Cesar! We haven't found anything yet. I guess it's okay to post your e-mail address here so go ahead. I'll contact you on my return. There is something you must be careful of Cesar. The Ryanair flights to Girona are a deciding factor in what you are looking for. What if...

I probably can Cesar. Unfortunately I am off to Portugal for a holiday tomorrow and I'll be back ready to work in about ten days. If you could leave a contact nr or e-mail I'll contact you when I return. Before I can help you I must get more information from you to do the job correctly. Is...

As a rule I don't use this to promote my business. I just get a lot of fun from asking for and giving tips and advice and reading some of the absolute nonsense posted by some of the people who use this to advertize their own properties. PM me and I'll be glad to give contact details there...

Good morning, You say you live in Southampton presently. My advice would be to take advantage of the flights into Hannover, hire a care and go drive about in the Harz mountains (approx 1 hour and you are in the middle of them) (autobahn congestion here can cause problems...
