Investment in international property is becoming increasingly popular as every international market caters specifically for the individual requirements of its investors. Markets vary enormously; some require high entry financial exposure while achieving excellent returns, while others offer lower financial exposure.

Many factors need to be taken into account when choosing your property investment locations. Currently some Eastern European countries are offering outstanding value for money but the current political and economic situation makes it an unwise investment at this time. We carefully select the locations in which to offer you international investment property. Below you will find a detailed investment research section outlining why each of our international property markets are currently seen as intelligent options for property investment.

The locations below feature unique factors that lend themselves to a particular type of investor. We advise you to take time to look at the investment information or contact us to speak with an advisor who will be glad to help.

International property investment is generally seen as the most reliable source of return on investment today. Large investors often look to add diversity to their international property portfolios by spreading their investments globally over several property markets. The International Property Investment Network (IPIN) was set up to help investors source stable and reliable opportunities in the most investment-friendly areas of the world.

India Property & Investment Opportunities

Currently there is an undersupply of high quality housing and commercial premises in the city centres, making India a viable option for property investment. Many large corporate and IT companies are based in developing cities and large scale quality construction is underway to accommodate these enterprises and their workers. Land investments are therefore also highly lucrative at the present time.

United Arab Emirates Property & Investment Opportunities

Real estate in the UAE attracts high growth rates and excellent rental yields in key locations. Backed by government funded property projects, much of the real estate in the UAE is a safe option as it attracts top developers and constructions companies. As a consequence, properties available for purchase are famous for their extremely high quality.

Vietnam Property & Investment Opportunities

Overseas investment in property in Vietnam is escalating while local affordability is also on the increase. Since various changes to fiscal and real estate investment laws in 2006, property in Vietnam has become an easier option to foreigners and many believe that Vietnam will become the next Thailand as a retirement and holiday home hotspot. Tourist figures are rocketing and new, highly affordable five star golf resorts are currently being built to further boost the property investment market.

You can learn about our reasons for its inclusion in our Thailand investment research section. IPIN is aware of all the latest investment options available in Thailand and will help you adapt these to your requirements.

Why Invest in Thailand?

Exotic Thailand is Asia’s top tourist destination and offers a world class tourist industry at affordable prices, making it a magnet for visitors, re-locators and property investors alike. In many key locations in Thailand, the local economy relies heavily on tourism and increased property investment in these locations is now good news for domestic economic growth and good capital returns.
Natural and Cultural Factors

* Once an exotic long haul destination, Thailand is now also a sophisticated tourist destination with a universal appeal.
* For thousands of people who have worked in Asia for many years, Thailand is a very attractive retirement destination, in which the living environment will feel familiar.
* Retirement visas are available for foreigners over 50 years of age.
* Thailand has good schools, an efficient health care system and it is seen as a friendly country in which to live or visit.
* Thailand offers beautiful mountains, dense forests and stunning beaches, a tropical climate and cities teeming with culture and colour which draw visitors back each year.
* Warm weather for winter holidaymakers. Peak season is between November and February.

Economic Factors:

* The relatively undiscovered nature of Thailand means that property prices here remain far below those in the more established European markets, although they are growing quickly and strongly (around 10-15% a year).
* Thailand is the largest growth market in Asia. Some businesses choose Thailand as a regional base from which to keep their employees working all around Asia.
* Thailand has recently attracted significant foreign investment. It has become one of the Asian economic leaders and is one of the fastest-growing economies in the region.
* The completion of the Suvarnabhumi-Bangkok International Airport (SBIA) is expected to spur growth in commercial property markets in eastern Bangkok as well as make Thailand even more accessible by air. Thailand is one of the cheapest places to fly to in Asia.
* The country has strong business links with China and has an excellent infrastructure as well as world-class facilities in many resort towns.
* Property is much cheaper in Thailand than elsewhere and an increase in overseas interest in property purchase has helped to create an economic recovery in Thailand. Property investors who bought post 1999 have witnessed impressive capital growth, particularly in major cities.
* Rental potential is great, due to increased government spending luring growing numbers of tourists.
* No capital gains tax for private investors, and low ongoing taxes.
* Today foreigners are regarded by the government as a big investment opportunity in Thailand.

Summary

Thailand remains less exploited in the property investment sector than many other areas and for this reason prices are far below those in more established European markets. However in many areas, prices are moving upwards at a rate of approximately 10-15% per annum.

There are undoubtedly some very attractive investment options to be found in certain locations of Thailand and, according to world experts, Thailand’s economy is undergoing a steady growth spurt. While improvements to Thai property investment provisions continue, a symbiosis with the tourist economy and the real estate economy, will allow mutual growth at unprecedented levels.
