The Benefits of Property Investment in Brazil

Latin America has recently exploded onto the international property scene, with countries like Panama, Argentina, and Brazil attracting the most attention. In Brazil, -- mostly similar to the other two, -- the reasons are a strong and growing tourism market, low cost of living (as in all Latin America), easy and unrestrictive buying process for foreigners, low capital gains and inheritance tax, 15% and 2.5-4% respectively, high rental yields of around 9% on a 50sq.m property, moderate purchase costs of between 11-12% and pro-landlord rental laws.

Quite a package to entice buyers, who will find an equally impressive package on offer in a Brazilian property purchased from David Stanley Redfern Ltd. For the purpose of this release I will concentrate on David Stanley Redfern's Brazil land plots, as oppose to the Brazilian apartments and houses also on offer at DSR. Land plots in Brazil are a shrewd investment because the prices are so low, the potential for capital appreciation the greatest, and building costs are low because of the low cost of building materials in Brazil.

Two of David Stanley Redfern's Brazil properties are the Oasis and Carapibus Land Plots, both in Paraiba. The Oasis plots range in size from 350sq.m. to 554sq.m. and in price from £6999, to £13,999, and come with a free legal package. The Carapibus plots are all 1000sq.m. at a price of £16, 829.

The Oasis is a private gated community, surrounded by a 2 meter high wall, and with a grand 9 meter high gate at the entrance. Ecologists will be pleased to know that the master design has been altered wherever possible to avoid uprooting trees, and though 65% of the site is saleable plots, the first four have been reserved for the building of shops and other necessary amenities. The site also has an astounding range of sports, activities and facilities: A fishing/boating lake with boat house, 2 polisports courts (whatever they are), a beach volleyball court, 1300sq.m of swimming pool area, a mini football pitch, a gym, barbeque area, 2 tennis courts, a running track and a children's play area.

But what we must not forget about the Oasis land plots is their low price, which gives an incredible amount of scope for profit if you build nothing, and even greater after you build at Brazil's low costs.

Carapibus is a small village on the southerly border of Jacuma, just 30 min from Joao Pessoa international airport. This area is becoming increasingly popular amongst Brazilians and international investors. Carapibus is a fully gated condominium in the beautiful hills overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The complex is 10 min from some of the best beaches in Brazil and has football pitches, tennis courts, 3 pools, a private riding stable and riding arena, as well as a shop, and restaurant. All plots are connected to water, electricity and phone line.

Both land plot developments have the option of having the developer build for you straight away, building costs, depending on the materials chose by the customer are estimated to be around £700 - £750 per sq. m. including all landscaping. The properties waiting to be built on Carapibus are 4-5 bedroom villas up to a size of 300sq.m. which, by that guide would cost £241,000 – not bad for a five bedroom villa in a tourism hotspot.

One of the strongest points both these Brazil properties share is their location. Paraiba is a state yet to be discovered, and prices there are lower than other states. It is an up and coming area of Brazil, half way between the paradise beaches of Rio Grande du Norte and the rich historical sites of Pernambuco, both of which have already entered the list of most visited Brazilian locations. With all it has to offer Paraiba is sure to join them on that list: rich folklore, crafts, Paraiba cookery and fantastic beaches (including the 7th most beautiful beach in Brazil). Also worth mentioning is that Paraiba is the most easterly point of the Americas and so has the earliest sunrise -- it is also between two international airports, and has a very low crime rate.

With so much to offer, Paraiba won't be undiscovered for long -- if you don't get in now you risk missing this fantastic opportunity. Call David Stanley Redfern today for a free, no-obligation chat.
