AN OVERVIEW
We believe hedging your investment portfolio in offshore property is the only way to go. We can arrange finance for 70 - 85% of the cost of your investment in London. Currently South Africans can legally externalize ZAR 2 million per individual, this will not last, so our advice is to get in as soon as possible. The prognosis economically for South Africa in 2008 is that inflation and or interest rates will continue to rise.
Essential services include:
- handling absolutely everything from start to finish in buying your UK property.
- facilitating all the legal, financial and banking administration as well as funds transfer to ensure you get the best rate.
- ensuring your investment is well managed.
WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?
- finance an offshore asset that appreciates in hard currency.
- use the banks money to grow your investment.
- with only 30% down, the rest of the bond is paid off by the tenant.
- you now have an international portfolio.
- consortium investments from as little as ZAR130 000.
- you end up with an asset worth in excess of GBP250 000 - GBP320 000 (ZAR 3,712 - 4,455 million) for very little initial investment.

WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE?
Currently the South African interest rate on home loans is 14.50% interest (PRIME) as adjusted (7th December 2007), however prime in the UK is a paltry 5.5%. Ask us for further details.
