Not heard anything other than share dealing in Addoha being suspended after a 6% fall today. I imagine share price of most property companies will continue south until we have more stability in the world markets. Here's a link for anyone that wasn't aware of the Addoha situation. Moroccan...

Mick. Depending on where the company is operating, how the tax systems work and how the company is owned (there can be several shell companies) it may be possible for the company to avoid / minimise CGT on sale of assets. So your returns could be affected by CGT twice. The first instance...

Isadora. When I contacted Fadesa about berths a year or two ago they were only offering a shorter term lease (think it may have been 20 or even 15 years.) There was so much that had to be firmed up at that time with berths - not least what happens at the end of the lease - that I stayed...

I've asked three keen sailors this question (two I know and one from a forum.) All said an average sized boat would take a good 24 hours to travel from nearest ports in Spain. I feel that's more than most would want.

All I've heard is the information beneath from another poster on Singing Pig: "Looks as though Midas have problem with their 25% loans and other loan style investments. They are saying that these products may need to be regulated by the FSA and are holding back all interest payments, etc on...

Hi sabu. Not aware of anyone attaching pictures before, but you can always provide link to where they can be viewed.

I’ve sent you a PM with my contact details. If you don’t receive it the site administrator should be able to switch on your PM functionality.

Don’t commit to buying through him / her. Let them know that you have found them helpful so far and that you are interested, but that you will speak to a number of agents / industry experts as part of you due diligence before reserving. (Reservation deposits are often fully refundable for a...

Welcome mnaim. It is common for different agencies to have different sections of a development on their books. (The developer often parcels off sections of the development for one agency to market exclusively.) If that’s the case for this development then chances are one agency has sold their...

Thanks Alan, that is the plan I have and described above. Only holes 6 & 16 in Las Lagunas course share the same fairway and even then it is more a case of fairways merging for a small part of the respective holes. (Otherwise it is only the practice area that shares a strip of grass.)

Hi Investy. Last time I looked Churchill Overseas were offering circa 50% net over 3 years with the Yorkshire BS. I think I've come accross another in the past through TheMoveChannel, though didn't look into it. Know Goldberg Global have some guaranteed return offerings, but I don't know...

Rossantony: I don’t wish to dwell on the bombings as my point was that tourism wasn’t hit badly by it. I have however pasted two links beneath that provide information on bombings in recent times - Dahab in 2006 being the latest. Terrorism in Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

Post above appeared twice, just deleting the 2nd one!

Welcome pilliam I’m not a big fan of Egypt, but with your budget it’s certainly a contender. I could be wrong, but I suspect capital appreciation won’t be great in Egypt. However, if you are looking upon a possible investment as a more exciting way of providing an income with possibility of...

Welcome BrianC. The brief you gave leads me to think you may be better being part of a syndicate than buying a far away property that you will have difficulty managing if your team on the ground let you down (property manager, leasing agent, etc.) Here’s a quick note on 3 alternatives to...

Thanks for sharing that Lurcher21. Please name the development that will have the social housing and name and shame the Estate Agents that didn’t want to know.

Goldberg Global. Agree with much of what you say, but will chip in my tuppence worth where I disagree. Bank guarantees, like normal insurance products, differ in what they cover. Potential investors should assess what the guarantee covers, and more importantly, what it doesn’t cover, prior...

Investy. St Andrews has several courses. There are some holes on the famous Old Course that are flat - though perhaps undulating with hidden bunkers would be a more apt description. Placement of your drive is key (you really don't want to be in those bunkers.) There's certainly some holes...

Pictures are a little better on eyeonworldwide, but greens still don’t look great. Hopefully it’s just a case of grass needing more time to set properly and we’ll see a much better looking course when it opens in 3 or 4 weeks time. Investy. I walked over the land the course is built on...

Thanks for the response Simon. Investy. I’ve walked much of the golf course site and driven by it a few times. It’s flat. Don’t get me wrong, there will be slight inclines here and there, but that’s it.
