Buy To Let & Leaseback Investment Property

Buy To Let Investment Property

Buy-To-Let means buying a property with the intent to rent it out rather than to live there. In the last few years this became an investment fad and has resulted in vast oversupply of properties for renting in some areas. Many observers believe more recent buy to let owners may suffer badly when house prices drop.

It is therefore of great importance to select property in a country and area that is popular with holiday makers and is situated close to 4 / 5 star resorts. (see due diligence pages) Fair Deal Investment has access to many buy-to-let investment opportunities that fit these criteria in areas where development is restricted and over-development is prohibited.

The leading buy to let market at the moment is without any doubt Morocco. (See Morocco Property Pages).

Leaseback Investment Property

The Leaseback concept has been in operation for over twenty years and more recently they have become an increasingly popular method of financing property ownership.

Leaseback is particularly popular in France and is now also available in Spain. The leaseback form of property ownership has caught on and is well known as a trouble-free and cost effective method of investing in overseas property.

The leaseback concept is simple: an investor buys the freehold of a property outright and then leases it back to a management company for renewable periods of up to 10 years. the property owner will receive a guaranteed rental return, irrespective of occupancy, at a fixed annual amount, which often offsets the cost of their mortgage payments. Community fees, running and maintenance costs while these are normally paid by the management company. In Spain leaseback owners also benefit from a VAT-refund.

At the end of the leaseback period, the owner of the property has the option either to live in the property, sell the property or simply sign a new leaseback contract with the management company for another fixed period of guaranteed income.
