Free Pension Health Check

Free Pension
Health check for every one

International Dreams with our IFA partners are running a
free pension health check for all clients.
The aim of these checks is to help clients find out how their pensions
are performing and what is in them.
International Dreams and its IFA partners have been helping clients unlock
frozen pensions and increase the value of the frozen pension pots via a range
of investment via SIPPS.
The aim is to unlock these frozen pension pots and re-invest
them in properties abroad with strong capital returns and guaranteed rental
income.  Best of all the profits from the
rental and capital growth of the properties are tax free payments back to your
pension fund.  All set up costs and running
costs, property costs etc. are by the Sipps (Pension) and at no direct cost to
the client.
Click here to view one of our Sipp investments offering
returns of around 50% over the next 5 years and a guaranteed buy back clause.  Investments from only £12,250

Top 4 tips for buy property abroad

Top Tips for investing in Property
1) What is the Property for – Investment or
investment & Holiday Home?
This is important question as the best investment property
may not be the place that you want to have your holidays.  Places like Egypt, Brazil, Turkey and many
more are giving very good returns on investment but may not be the place you
want to investment.  Countries such as
Cyprus, Spain and other European countries can offer some good discounted units
and good rental returns but may not be as strong a return as an emerging
market.
2) Budgets
Have a budget in mind that covers for the
property, furniture, legal fees, taxes etc.
Don’t buy multi properties expecting to flip them on for a profit if you
can’t afford to pay for them, as what happens if you can’t sell them you will
lose all your funds
3) Do your Homework

It is very important when buy properties
abroad that you know what you are buying, sounds silly but you would be amazing
at the number who don’t.  Do some
research, make some enquiries – check out who the developer is if the
properties off plan, find out what they have built before.  Find out as much information as you can,
check out the construction pictures, asking for copies of the Due dillegue
report on the development, to check who owns the land, does the property have
planning etc. and ask for sample contracts. Does the agent charge a finder fee
or are there any additional charges.

The Agent, are they a member of any trade
groups, are they fully registered, how long have there been trading, do they
have professional indemnity insurance, do they have any recommendations.

4)Lawyers

One of my best tips is always use a lawyer
for checking out the contracts before signing them and never use the developer’s
lawyer as these will not be independent.
Lawyers can cost around a £1000 for a full service but this will be the
best money ever spent and will save you a lot of problems in the future.  A Lawyer will do a full check on the property
or development to make sure it has the correct planning permission or has it
title deeds if built, they help with the changing of the contacts and highlight
any problem in the contract.
Just remember the right agent will save
you a lot of money, the wrong agent will cost you a lot of money

Student accommodation in Bradford was 100% let for the academic year 2010 to 2011, however, 19,260 full time students were unable to access university or purpose built accommodation creating a demand for new private halls.

Property Sales up in Cyprus in Dec/Jan on last years figures

THE number of property sale contracts deposited at Land Registries in favour of Cypriots last month increased by 97% compared with January 2011, according to the latest figures published by the Department of Lands and Surveys.

This increase follows a 22% rise in December and may be attributable to the government tax incentives introduced late last year. But some of the increase may result from a last-minute rush to take advantage of the six-month window of opportunity to deposit ‘old’ contracts of sale that had not been deposited, which expired on 29th January.

Sales were up in all districts, with a total of 697 contracts of sale being deposited compared with the 354 deposited in January 2011.

The free areas of Famagusta saw sales rise by 536% in January. Sales in Larnaca were up 300%, followed by Paphos (+162%), Limassol (+79%) and finally Nicosia (+16%).
