PERFECT RETURNS - "SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL GROWTH"
The financial strength and experience of The Resort Developers, supported by the expertise of our industry leading partners makes Dunas Beach Resort perfectly positioned to maximise the investment potential that exists in Cape Verde.
Foreign investment continues to grow with over €1 Billion investment per annum, with a full range of development projects covering communications, utilities, transport and leisure all underway. Tourism is booming on the islands and figures continue to increase with demand for high quality accommodation far exceeding supply. This means all economic factors support strong capital growth.
Thanks to all economic factors, your Cape Verde investment has every possibility of seeing considerable capital growth, even through the construction cycle.
For example, a typical one bed studio apartment is priced at €124,950. An increase in value of 5% p.a. over a five year period would offer you total growth of €34,521, at 10% growth the total value increase would be €76,283 and €126,369 with 15% growth over the same 5 year period.
These projections are based on the list price of your property. However, the price you pay will typically include discounts and incentive exchange rates to further underpin your actual growth opportunities.
50% OWNERSHIP OPTION (EARN 18% GROWTH PER ANNUM FOR 7 YEARS)
You can now purchase a 50% share in one of our luxurious two bed apartment; this brand new offer delivers unrivalled value and exceptional returns on your investment.
THE INVESTMENT PACKAGE INCLUDES:
• 50% Share Price of only €99,950
• €1.25 - £1.00 fixed rate on full 65% deposit
• 5% completion Discount
• And Guaranteed Mortgages on 30% completion balance
The above is in addition to FREE Legal services and FREE Hotel Excellence Furniture; the offer is available for both SIPP and Cash investors.
EASY OWNERSHIP - FUNDING YOUR PURCHASE
Whether you are using cash, assets, or borrowing money to purchase a property on Dunas Beach Resort, thanks to our highly competitive payment options you can be sure the returns are worth it
In today's climate it's unlikely that you are getting a rate of return that you would want from cash savings or money you have invested.
Investing in Dunas Beach Resort will deliver far greater returns, and we will pay 6% p.a. interest on any cash used to fund the purchase of your Dunas Beach Resort property - allowing you to instantly earn 6% p.a. during the construction cycle.
If you have equity in your home or buy-to-let properties, then utilising this to fund your purchase could make you a much higher return than you are currently. Plus, you don't have to worry about the cost of any interest, as we will service the interest costs up to 10% p.a. on any loans used to fund your deposit. The interest will then be added to your completion balance.
We also offer a very attractive guaranteed rate of exchange from Sterling to Euros, free legal services and completion mortgages (subject to status).
You might think that you would need to be a wealthy investor to take advantage of this opportunity. This couldn't be further from the truth. You can actually fund your purchase using a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP).
A SIPP offers considerable tax advantages, but it also puts you in control of how your pension is invested for the future. And the process is much easier than you may think. The images below outline how you can use a SIPP pension to buy your investment property.
EXCELLENT RENTAL RETURNS, YEILD AND RENTAL CLUB
The tourism industry in Cape Verde is currently flourishing with visitor numbers increasing all the time. This is obviously a key factor when considering an investment, and at Dunas Beach Resort everything is in place for you to expect high occupancy levels and therefore high rental returns.
In fact, the current 'best on-island' occupancy is 95%, and at that level you would expect an exceptional level of return. However, due to the highly competitive pricing available on Dunas Beach Resort, even using a more conservative figure you can still expect a substantial level of return and a high yield. The diagram opposite highlights potential occupancy levels.
Dunas Beach Resort sits on premium beach front land, creating the most desirable, saleable and rentable properties available. What's more, with tourist demand currently outstripping supply and the benefit of Melia management expertise, you can be confident that you are maximising your rental income potential.
Savills, the world-leading property services group and a Key Partner of The Resort Group, estimate an average €175 per day rental fee, a typical rental income for a two bedroom apartment. Based on a very conservative minimum occupancy estimate of 68%, you can expect to realise a very strong rental yield.
In addition, your property brings you VIP membership of the Hotel Managed Rental Club, which is managed by the Sol Melia Group to help maximise your rental occupancy.
You also have the added reassurance of The Resort Group's unique 'pooled rental income' programme. This means that the rent received by all property owners is pooled on a fair and equitable basis.
HOTEL EXCELLENCE FURNITURE PACKAGE
Investors can also take advantage of the Hotel Excellence Furniture Package which will transform your new property with a luxury furniture collection and high quality decor, all of which have been approved by the Melia hotel experts for durability and style.
The Hotel Excellence Furniture Package is usually offered at full price on all developments managed by The Resort Group. However, this inspirational service is being made available with our compliments on payment options two and three, and has 50% off with payment option one.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
No investment opportunity is completely "risk free" otherwise it wouldn't represent an investment. It's therefore clearly very important to assess your attitude towards risk and of course to validate the credentials of the investment proposition.
When investing in property, both capital growth and rental return are the key measures of success. It is important therefore to understand how your chosen investment will deliver both of these. Factors such as land value and touristic demand are key drivers but these need to be underpinned by the overall integrity of the development.
To asses these critical factors, it's important to establish:
• Does the developer own the land and do they have a valid building license?
• Have they passed the other necessary governmental checks and is a full due diligence pack available?
• Who are the building contractor, and are they an established and reputable contractor?
• Will the completed resort be managed by a world-renowned hotel operator?
• Does the developer have commercial funding in place and have they achieved a high level of pre-sales?
Any credible property investment opportunity should be able to answer yes to all of the above questions, thanks to The Resort Group and its unique strategic partnerships, Dunas Beach Resort can.
