China – Rising
in the East
The third largest country in the world, with
a population of over 1.3 billion people, China
is one of the world’s fastest & largest
growing economies. Alongside this, residential
property in the major cities such as Shanghai
& Beijing are considered prime investment
opportunities.
At present we have a number of developments in
Beijing, from smaller apartments to villa-style
properties.
Hong Kong - Gateway to the
Orient
Hong Kong’s has a magnificent natural setting
on the tip of the Chinese mainland it is a vibrant
city with towering skyscrapers, busy harbour and
bustling business. With a long reputation as a
trading centre and home to expats Hong Kong’s
property market is relatively expensive and focused
around investment and work related user rather
than the holiday home market.
Singapore - A traditional
favourite with the British
Offering shopping, business and cultural living
in an ultra clean and safe modern city. English
is widely spoken and it is easy and inexpensive
to get around and there is much to see and do.
The Indonesian holiday island of Bintan is just
a 45 minutes ferry trip away and there are many
attractions within Singapore itself.
The property market here is buoyant though not
particularly cheap and buyers are often working
in the region rather than using as a holiday home.
Sri Lanka - A glorious island
Lying only 30 miles off the Indian sub-continent
with beautiful beaches set in the sparkling waters
of the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka, formally Ceylon,
has a rich and varied landscape – lush jungles,
vivid green tea plantations, rolling hills and
palm fringed beaches. The island has a wealth
of history and culture including the food, which
is wonderful.
It is possible to buy property here since the
laws are uncomplicated in regards to foreigners
owning land. People have been buying here for
many years and recent legislation has made it
even easier. It is a natural choice for ex-patriot
foreigners to choose as a holiday base with its
ideal location halfway between Asia and Europe
and the relatively modern infrastructure for this
part of South West Asia. When not in residence,
villa owners are often able to rent out their
homes to holidaymakers.
Japan - A fascinating contrast
of ultra modern and ancient culture
Japan remains an enigma - steeped in mystical
art forms, ancient religion and curious rituals
it is a country with high tourism and wonderful
natural scenery. The property market in Japan
is a recovering one after serious downturns and
it is deemed a fairly risky prospect for foreign
buyers, although they can legally own property.
Other drawbacks include the difficulty of obtaining
finance and the risk of earthquakes.
Property prices and rents are high in the capital
Tokyo and effectively become cheaper as you move
out into the countryside and away from the city.
Elsewhere in Asia-Pacific
At present we do not have properties for sale
in Cambodia, mainland India, Taiwan or several
other countries. But if you particularly want
somewhere in a country not featured here please
let us know – we are part of a number of
associations and will endeavour to help you.
