    Thanks for clarifying that. Yes, my post only concerns the "reservation" stage of the process, and not any stage payments that have been made.

    Banana Update The situation is that there have been for some time, 20 plots which have outline planning permission, and I don´t know what the right technical term is - so you will have to excuse me. Most of the clients who originally invested in this project got a refund of their reservation...

    Expansion of the Panama Canal? You´ll have to excuse me because it is late and I am feeling flippant, but would still like to know where they are expanding the Panama Canal to? If they extend it on the Pacific side, the first stop is New Zealand, and if you extend it on the Atlantic coast...

    A taxing question

    Thanks I posted this in the Bulgaria forum because it seemed more active than many of the other Euroland destinations, but the same scenario would apply for any property sold in Europe - or anywhere that has a currency stronger than sterling. I found out that the UK government will tax you...

    A taxing question

    Good Morning, An interesting situation has arisen for investors who purchased property when the pound was stronger against the Euro. In theory, it is now possible for a UK investor to sell their property for the same Euro price as they purchased back in 2004/5/6 and make 40%+ profit...

    Buying property in Kalkan

    Absolutely! Hi Ismael, I first went to Kalkan 20 years ago, and immediately fell in love with the area. Without doubt it is my favourite place in Turkey - there are so many "must see´s", fantastic beaches (especially Patara) and wonderful diving. If you "Google" (Kalkan Turkey),you...

    Dear Victoria, I have a large database of clients looking for property investment in KLCC. I use a couple of agents already in Malaysia, but sometimes they have too many clients for them to offer a full service (ie can only spend half a day with them). I am looking for another agent prepared...

    banana residential club

    What villa number(s)? Anybody thinking of pulling out of their reservation, could you put the villa numbers you reserved up on the forum (not if you´ve gone to contract). There are a few people sniffing around for the prime units - either East facing in Q1 & Q3 or end units on Q2. With...

    Berjaya Times Square Hi Lexus, Didn´t have your email address, so posted the info on a link below. There are a few other properties in the same price range if you click on the "back" button at the foot of the screen, but apologies if anybody expected to see me actually finish a web site...

    Another bite of the Banana The Banana Club sure has had it´s setbacks, but I believe it is now all systems go for the building work to re-commence and contracts to be signed. There should be a letter going out to people who bought from IPIN later this month and then a "re-launch" towards the...

    hyde park by damac

    Cairo I see that Property Showrooms are starting to list the Hyde Park properties on their web site. Is it true that a Cairo apartment starts from £44.000? Looks that way. According to the Global Property Guide, rental yields in Cairo are in double figures, thereis low tax on income from...

    Incredibly high yield with Turkish interest rates

    Mick - you are half right (so are you Brian) Guru - the Turkish Lira lost 25% of its value against the Euro earlier this year, and then it made it up (so now the value is what it was at the start of the year). I would love to borrow in Japan and invest in South Africa and live off the...

    Malaysia - Good or Bad?

    Absolutely! Malaysia has to have the best food in the world. Would suggest somewhere up near Jalan Semantan to eat from the road vendors or one of the market stalls (also a great place to make a killing on rental yields - Mon´t Kiara has far too much traffic) Agree that you should visit...

    Which South East Asian city is best to invest in?

    My view I think Malaysia is a country waiting to happen. Prices are good, there is a strong domestic market and Malaysian agents/developers are waking up to the fact that there is a world beyond their national boundaries. I think you will see many more Malaysian property investments coming...

    Which South East Asian city is best to invest in?

    What? Where? When? How? (and why?) Sorry, Different perspective from what? Malaysia - 20% down on resales. Some banks now offering Zero Entry Cost on off-plan (still 20%-30% down) including stamp duty and legal fees. Most developments increasing in value during a three year build time...
