Brit's Look Abroad for Better Returns on Investment

In the views of the Expat lifestyle magazine, Shelter Offshore, “many Brits living overseas are considering moving their funds into offshore accounts in order to get a better return than they are being offered in the UK”.

Last year in 2010, £3.2 Billion was invested into Brazilian property, an increase of 62% compared to 2009. Experience International, an overseas property investment advisory group claimed that Brazil was the “number one buying destination this year” due to the investment opportunities which it offers as well as competitive interest rates.

Property in Brazil remains as an attractive investment as there is a substantial demand for housing, built-up due to a young growing population and an ever growing middle class who are seeking affordable first and second homes.

This is one of the driving forces behind the belief that real estate investment funds have a very ‘bright’ future. However, due to the current colossal housing deficit, the supply of property in Brazil is unlikely to quench Brazil’s insatiable requirements to house 9.1 Million people within the next 10 years.

In addition to this fact, the growth that the Brazilian real estate market is presently subjected to, has been built on strong foundations, as mortgage lending still only accounts for 4% of Brazil’s GDP in comparison to the U.S where the figures is closer to 70%.

Due to foreign and domestic investors buying Brazilian houses or land, in cash or via developer payment plans, combined with a more long-term outlook on investment, has created stability in the global property market helping to ensure that an economic double dip is avoided.

Such investment opportunities are readily available to be made at Tambaba Country Club Resort, with land plots available with the view to land banking as a longer term investment options.
