Another Look At Brazilian Investment Properties from DSR

2008-02-02T07:15:00.000-08:00

The last David Stanley Redfern release on Brazil focused on DSR land plots in Brazil – this one will focus on DSR's Brazil apartments and houses. The many financial attractions of a property investment in Brazil were covered in the last article, but for those who missed it here's a quick refresher:

Rental yields are around the 9% mark on a 50sq.m property in the best areas, tourism is growing massively which could push yields even higher, purchase costs are a moderate 10%-12%, capital gains tax is a competitive 15%, inheritance tax a mere 2.5-4%, and rental laws are pro-landlord. Following the general rule for emerging markets, living costs are low in Brazil, which also means so are the property prices.

To explain, emerging markets usually start at a very low point, building materials are cheap, overall costs low and there is generally no guide for what properties are really worth, as they have previously had to be affordable to the local population. Therefore, when said market begins to attract global attention, and buyers with more money, prices start to rise. Fast. The people who get in first make the biggest gains.

David Stanley Redfern's Brazil properties certainly have the potential to make the earliest investors some huge gains. Take the Sossego Bay apartments, prices start at just £19,950 for a beach front studio apartment in Brazil – 1 and 2 bedroom apartments are also available. The Sossego Bay apartments are in Paraiba, a growingly popular area for tourism, which is prompting growth in property development to keep up with the rising demand for good holiday accommodation – Sossego Bay apartments are certainly that:

A stylish complex built around a beautiful lagoon, the Sossego apartments are ideal holiday homes for sun bathing beach lovers, and golfing enthusiasts, being right on top of Praia Bela, and just a short drive from a top quality golf course.

If it's a studio or apartment in Brazil that you're after but you have a bit more cash to spend, the Vista Morena apartments are one of the finest investments opportunities on the global property market:

The Vista Morena development is a four star gated community of studio-3bed apartments, and 2-3 bedroom houses in the former fishing village of Carapibus. The level of government investment into Carapibus's infrastructure, along with its prime location within easy reach of two of Brazil's finest beaches Jacuma and Tabatinga, and the rising popularity of Brazil as a whole, will see Carapibus transformed into one of the world's top tourism destinations.

Therefore, their price of just £30,500 for a studio apartment gives them a lot of room to enjoy upwards of the conservatively estimated 20% capital appreciation, and impressive rental yields. The 2-3 bedroom houses on Vista Morena are priced from £87,000, and if apartments and houses are out of your price range but you want to capitalize on Carapibus's inevitable boom, one of David Stanley Redfern's aforementioned land-plot developments is in Carapibus – prices starting from £16,829 for 1000sq.m, with 4 and 5 bedroom villas ready to be built at an estimated cost of £700 - £750 per sq.m.

The Benefits of Property Investment in Brazil

2008-01-17T08:01:00.000-08:00

Latin America has recently exploded onto the international property scene, with countries like Panama, Argentina, and Brazil attracting the most attention. In Brazil, -- mostly similar to the other two, -- the reasons are a strong and growing tourism market, low cost of living (as in all Latin America), easy and unrestrictive buying process for foreigners, low capital gains and inheritance tax, 15% and 2.5-4% respectively, high rental yields of around 9% on a 50sq.m property, moderate purchase costs of between 11-12% and pro-landlord rental laws.

Quite a package to entice buyers, who will find an equally impressive package on offer in a Brazilian property purchased from David Stanley Redfern Ltd. For the purpose of this release I will concentrate on David Stanley Redfern's Brazil land plots, as oppose to the Brazilian apartments and houses also on offer at DSR. Land plots in Brazil are a shrewd investment because the prices are so low, the potential for capital appreciation the greatest, and building costs are low because of the low cost of building materials in Brazil.

Two of David Stanley Redfern's Brazil properties are the Oasis and Carapibus Land Plots, both in Paraiba. The Oasis plots range in size from 350sq.m. to 554sq.m. and in price from £6999, to £13,999, and come with a free legal package. The Carapibus plots are all 1000sq.m. at a price of £16, 829.

The Oasis is a private gated community, surrounded by a 2 meter high wall, and with a grand 9 meter high gate at the entrance. Ecologists will be pleased to know that the master design has been altered wherever possible to avoid uprooting trees, and though 65% of the site is saleable plots, the first four have been reserved for the building of shops and other necessary amenities. The site also has an astounding range of sports, activities and facilities: A fishing/boating lake with boat house, 2 polisports courts (whatever they are), a beach volleyball court, 1300sq.m of swimming pool area, a mini football pitch, a gym, barbeque area, 2 tennis courts, a running track and a children's play area.

But what we must not forget about the Oasis land plots is their low price, which gives an incredible amount of scope for profit if you build nothing, and even greater after you build at Brazil's low costs.

Carapibus is a small village on the southerly border of Jacuma, just 30 min from Joao Pessoa international airport. This area is becoming increasingly popular amongst Brazilians and international investors. Carapibus is a fully gated condominium in the beautiful hills overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The complex is 10 min from some of the best beaches in Brazil and has football pitches, tennis courts, 3 pools, a private riding stable and riding arena, as well as a shop, and restaurant. All plots are connected to water, electricity and phone line.

Both land plot developments have the option of having the developer build for you straight away, building costs, depending on the materials chose by the customer are estimated to be around £700 - £750 per sq. m. including all landscaping. The properties waiting to be built on Carapibus are 4-5 bedroom villas up to a size of 300sq.m. which, by that guide would cost £241,000 – not bad for a five bedroom villa in a tourism hotspot.

One of the strongest points both these Brazil properties share is their location. Paraiba is a state yet to be discovered, and prices there are lower than other states. It is an up and coming area of Brazil, half way between the paradise beaches of Rio Grande du Norte and the rich historical sites of Pernambuco, both of which have already entered the list of most visited Brazilian locations. With all it has to offer Paraiba is sure to join them on that list: rich folklore, crafts, Paraiba cookery and fantastic beaches (including the 7th most beautiful beach in Brazil). Also worth mentioning is that Paraiba is the most easterly point of the Americas and so has the earliest sunrise -- it is also between two international airports, and has a very low crime rate.

With so much to offer, Paraiba won't be undiscovered for long -- if you don't get in now you risk missing this fantastic opportunity. Call David Stanley Redfern today for a free, no-obligation chat.

Brazil Investment Resort Set for Massive Expansion

2007-10-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

Recent winners of Homes Overseas magazine’s property of the month award David Stanley Redfern Ltd have secured a limited supply of 1-3 bedroom apartments in the luxurious Porto Dos Corais development in the lagoon and dune rich Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The ability to enjoy the expansive and mesmeric Atlantic Ocean environment is now fully feasible with investors being offered exclusive top specification properties in a region with a steady 20% value increase per annum. Apartments are available from just €51,000 now.

But why a limited supply you might ask, well the answer’s simple. They’re being snapped up unsurprisingly fast! €51,000 will buy a 1 bedroom apartment, €163,386 will buy 2 bedrooms and €213,600 will buy one of the more popular 3 bedroom apartments in this highly sought after tropical paradise on the South American Maracajau Beach just outside Natal, the city of the sun, recognised as having the worlds purest air after Antarctica. An amazing combination of natural inherent beauty and an equally serene climate and ambience is what’s on offer here, leaving little mystery behind its escalating attraction. And there’s more appeal still in the government planned proposals that include amongst other things the introduction of 10 new golf courses over the next 5 years!

Greater plans for a new Natal based airport which will be South America’s largest, have been given the go ahead and should see completion in 2010, making Natal the first port of call for commercial, recreational or any visitors coming into Brazil. With figures that report 96% of the regions visitors intending to make a second visit already, the future of Natal and its Brazilian counterpart’s looks very bright indeed, as does the economy. The fishing village of Maracajau, due to its environmental conscience should retain a population figure close to the current 2500 it currently boasts. With residential demand easily outweighing the actual availability of property, the direct result should simply be high, sustainable appreciation and value.

Natal is blessed with an abundance of sun baked beaches that often draw a large Brazilian crowd of holiday makers, reflecting the true splendour of a region capable of alluring its own notably hospitable native folk. However, the Porto Dos Corais resort and its host Maracajau are particularly enchanting. Restaurants and bars, a handful of swimming pools, spas, play area, gymnasium and court sports are all conveniently situated within this gated and managed property development that also offers peace of mind with its around the clock security services.

The fully furnished properties themselves are first class and leave you needing nothing more than personal effects. Appliances, fixtures and all furnishings are included throughout so, from a spoon to a dishwasher, everything’s on hand in these fine air conditioned holiday/investment homes! If it’s the delicious cuisine, samba filled Carnivals and glorious white sands getting your pulse racing or simply this great overseas property investment opportunity, whatever it is contact David Stanley Redfern Ltd immediately for full information.
