Exclusive Designer Overseas Homes - Girasol Homes

noreply@blogger.com (Nigel Salmon GIRASOL HOMES) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:16:00 +0000

Exclusive Designer Overseas Homes

Exclusive Designer Homes? We can help.

When buying a new home on a project or larger development overseas the choice of property designs available are normally restricted to a few standard options for which the opportunity to make alterations are limited.

From experience, many clients and customers now want the freedom to make unique the design of their new home and to take advantage of better, more modern and efficiently designed homes with individual features and a true designer edge.

SOME INSPIRATION

There has never been a better time to do this, plots are at an extremely affordable price, quality builders are in good numbers and designers are excited to work with the new technologies now available to them.

Every house design is important, as a small house plan can be just as exciting as a big one. This service is available from the smallest Bungalow to the largest Villa.

Working to your budget our local experts (all over the world) can help with everything from finding your plot, planning your home with you, garden landscaping and interior design through to assisting you with the appointment of appropriate builders and choice of materials and fittings.

These individual designs are great to live in and will sell very well in the future with great locations, interiors and specifications.

The only limit is your imagination – please get in touch for more information.

The service in brief:

Plot Locations – We have opportunitites from all over Spain and the Islands, Portugal (Algarve, Alentejo and Silver Coast), Turkey, Cyprus, Italy and the USA and many have spectacular sea and mountain views. Whatever your requirements we can find suitable plots for your dream home.

Design – After talking through your ideas with our local professionals they will help with introductions to architects and builders to create the plans for your home.

Adaptation – We have also seen the potential for adapted homes for people with disabilities and it is simple to design these adaptations from the blueprint stage and in the future this will aid the resale value and also the letting potential of any such product.

Construction – Once the building of your property has commenced your local project manager will provide regular updates and photographs of the project by email or post and ongoing project liaison.

Completion – Once the property is built we can assist with garden landscaping, interior design, furnishing and property maintenance services. Should you wish to let the property, our local professionals are specialists in marketing and renting out luxury villa’s in the local areas we operate in.

The Five stages of Spains property price recovery - Girasol Homes

noreply@blogger.com (Nigel Salmon GIRASOL HOMES) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:57:00 +0000

The Five stages of Spains property price recovery

The 5 Stages of Property Price Recovery in Spain, the Canary Islands, Mallorca and Menorca

So many people are trying to figure out exactly when Spanish property prices are going to reach the bottom, because that’s the moment when they want to buy. This article is our opinion and we could be proved right or wrong but as we are enjoying our best year since we started Girasol Homes and with Spain the number 1 market we are fairly confident things are on the upward trend with the properties we are seeing sell.

It is not an exact science as some properties will just be un saleable whether the market is good or not and everyone even remotely connected has an opinion. Regardless of which method you choose, at the end of the day it often just boils down to guesswork, instinct or experienced good timing. However, armed with an understanding of the 5 stages of house price recovery, you can remove most of the guesswork and make sure that when you come to buy, you are doing it at the best possible time.

Here is a simple graphic illustration of the 5 steps to property price recovery and remember we specialise in Property Bargains so we would expect to get you a brilliant buy whatever the market conditions and especially now.

1) The bargains are selling in some quantity, and although the bottom of the market has been reached, these last bargains force the statistical prices slightly lower as they are sold at prices even lower than market value.

2) The statistical bottom is reached. By now almost all the ‘bargains’ (properties being sold below market price) will have been sold.

3) Prices start to rise, however due to the lag in gathering and reporting statistics (and Spain is worse than most places at this), readers of the press will still be seeing reports showing that the market is still at position 1.

4) Prices in ‘real time’ are now solidly rising as tentative demand returns. Press reports now show that the market has reached stage 2, and this will also encourage buyers. The bargains have all but disappeared.

5) ‘Real time’ prices are now 6 months past the bottom. Buyers are now seeing stage 3 statistics and for the following months, price rises will accelerate. Although properties bought in this time will gain in value, clearly those who purchased at stage 1 and 2 will have had the greatest benefit.

Things to get right

Get yourself organised – if you need a mortgage get one before you view, we have a mortgage department who will get you a Decision in Principle within 48 hours

If you are planning to purchase a property do the groundwork with us before you go out and view, our property search form is the initial “eyes and ears” that our large network of “property finders” will use to search for your ideal home.

If you are going to transfer a large amount of Sterling speak to our personal foreign currency expert as soon as you can

Commit to working with a good and experienced property company who have the network of property professionals on the ground (yes that’s us) if you commit to us we will commit to you and work as a team. We have heard and seen so many horror stories that we want to work exclusively with every client on a professional one to one basis.

We are always trying to present our buyers in the best possible light so let us get your buyer profile right, you as a buyer armed with evidence of mortgage/cash, a good idea and budget for your property options and with the right information for our local people spells success. If we can get these items aligned correctly and work as a team, we are very confident you will get the very best property.

What to do when you are worried about the exchange rate - buy

“Sterling has taken a major tumble over recent times once again mainly due to the Government, Central Bank and media seemingly doing everything they can to talk down the Pound.

VALENCIA COUNTRY HOUSE DOWN FROM 360000 TO 255000!

Although this may initially look like terrible news for anyone potentially looking to purchase overseas it has also created some fantastic buying opportunities. This is due to sellers being able to heavily drop their prices as they will now receive a lot more money for their property when bringing funds back due to the weaker Pound.

In fact, I have actually seen some properties that actually work out cheaper now than they were when GBP - EUR was in the 1.20s as sellers get desperate and drastically cut their asking price. Anyone in a fortunate enough position to be able to invest overseas would be prudent to take a look at what is on the market and also try their luck with an offer as you will probably (most likely) be able to secure an absolute bargain even though the Pound is weak.” This is echoed by Daniel Wright from Currencies Direct our partners click here for information http://tinyurl.com/yb9cnv9

September 4th, 2009

A two-year bear market that ravaged global real estate stocks has petered out and a recovery is already underway in key Asian markets, with the United States and Europe to follow, Cohen & Steers Inc. said on Thursday.

The Asian real estate equities recovery would precede ones in the United States in 2010 and Europe in 2011, the global property stocks investor said at the European Public Real Estate Association's (EPRA) Sept. 3-4 conference in Brussels.

Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Robert Steers said recent months had seen significant and rapid change in the global real estate equities markets as monetary and fiscal stimulus packages helped bring an end to the recession.

"The recapitalisation of listed real estate companies is also progressing well, and together these factors will initiate a new positive return cycle for stocks," he said in a statement.

Global Portfolio Manager Scott Crowe said in the longer term Cohen & Steers believed real estate values would settle at higher levels than were generally expected by the market.

"Net asset values for many real estate stocks are rising, driven by better-than-expected cash flows and improving cap rates," Crowe said.

"Furthermore, companies are starting once again to acquire assets, which should also contribute to value creation."

Cohen & Steers said its research showed the real estate total return cycle would likely comprise three phases, starting with equity recapitalisation.

"The second phase, preceding the final fundamental recovery in markets, will be characterised by significant acquisition opportunities in the United States, the Spanish property market, Germany and France, and to a lesser extent in Asia," it said in a report.

It also said factors that attracted investors to real estate investment trusts - such as competitive total returns, moderate volatility, attractive current income, and low correlations with other asset classes - were starting to materialise.
