The British Emigrate in Record Numbers in 2006
Overview
Recent UK government data reveals a staggering trend: 365,000 Brits left the UK in 2006 to relocate abroad. Popular destinations include Australia, Spain, New Zealand, Canada, and the Philippines. This exodus marks the highest recorded since 1991.
A Closer Look
Beth Collingz, Overseas Sales Director at PLC International Marketing Networks for Pacific Concord Properties Inc's Lancaster Condotels in the Philippines, highlighted that of those who left, 196,000 were British citizens and 189,000 were long-term UK residents.
The main motivation? It might surprise you?"it's the British weather. With incessantly grey skies and a notably wet summer, many feel that the relentless gloom is pushing them abroad.
Climate and Quality of Life
Collingz explains, "Brits joke about our two seasons?"winter and July. But after this year's disappointing summer, many aren't willing to endure another long winter." PLC's research found that favorable weather is a significant draw for those retiring to the Philippines. In fact, 60% of buyers for Lancaster Condotel units cite the climate as a key attraction. This interest in Philippine property increased 70% year-on-year in June and 60% in July.
Investment Opportunities
For those planning to move to the Philippines, maximizing financial resources is crucial. The Lancaster Brand of Condotels offers flexible 12-year payment plans through Pacific Concord Properties Inc. UK taxpayers can benefit from tax incentives by investing their Self-Invested Pension Plans (SIPPs) in Philippine Condotel Real Estate for rental income and retirement.
Collingz explains that a SIPP is a personal pension plan with a key difference: investment administration is separate, allowing plan holders to choose and change investments. In April 2006, HM Revenue & Customs confirmed SIPPs could include investments like the Lancaster Condo Hotels in the Philippines, with the condition that holders cannot stay in their properties. This increases room availability for paying guests, thereby boosting returns.
Why Invest in the Philippines?
A year ago, few in the UK realized they could manage their Pension Plan portfolios, let alone invest SIPP retirement funds in sunny locations. A significant reason to consider Philippine Condotel Real Estate is the legal framework that recognizes SIPPs as a form of trust.
Investing abroad isn't as risky as many think. While UK property prices soared, the global real estate market offers more opportunities. For example, it's possible to purchase a preconstruction Condotel suite at Lancaster The Atrium in Metro Manila for less than £25,000.
Lancaster Atrium: A Lucrative Investment
Lancaster The Atrium, set for completion by December 2010, will offer studio to three-bedroom suites. Owners can enroll in the Lancaster Condotel Rental Pool, earning rental incomes of 8-14% ROI annually. This positions Lancaster Suites as a top investment in the Philippines.
Benefits of Property in the Philippines
Owning property in the Philippines comes with low costs?"property taxes are around £100 annually for a suite worth £25,000, with comparable maintenance costs. When considering tax-protected status via an IRA and rental income yields of 12-16%, the ROI on Philippine Condotel investments is compelling.
Considerations for SIPP Investments
While SIPPs prevent personal residence at investment properties, they allow for rental income. Profits and cash flow stay within the SIPP, providing a steady income or immediate profit upon sale, as long as gains remain inside the plan.
Growing Interest in Overseas Investments
With the UK housing market slowing and traditional pension plans underperforming, investors are increasingly using their SIPPs for overseas properties, creating tax-efficient income sources. This opens new opportunities for investors in preconstruction units like Lancaster Suites Atrium Tower.
Conclusion
For those seeking a high-yield SIPP investment, Philippine Condotel real estate is an attractive option. With property appreciation rates of 20-30% annually, coupled with promising rental incomes, it provides a stable alternative to traditional pension plans. Collingz notes the growing trend of investors replacing inadequate pensions with robust real estate investments that promise sustainable retirement income.
By focusing on high rental returns from Condotel Investments, new market opportunities emerge, often overlooked by traditional real estate agents focused solely on residential buyers. The Lancaster Suites Atrium Condotels and Self-Invested Pension Plans perfectly meet these investment needs, catering to savvy investors seeking lucrative, long-term gains.
