When Christopher Columbus, the Dominican Republic’s first tourist, stepped ashore over 500 year ago, he marvelled at the spectacular natural beauty of its mountainous peaks, verdant valleys, spectacular waterfalls and breathtaking palm-fringed beaches.

With an average temperature of 28 degrees, more than 300 sun-filled days every year and warm, clear, turquoise seas make this the perfect place to just lay back and relax on the beach or enjoy the vast array of watersports available.

Las Canas Beach Resort is located on the stunning north coast of the Dominican Republic, 10 minutes from Cabarete and just 20 minutes from the Gregorio Luperon International Airport at Puerto Plata.

The Marquis Estate will be situated amongst some of the Caribbean’s most attractive landscape on the stunning northeast coast of St Lucia occupying a breathtaking 500 acre site in a wide lush, tropical valley that sweeps majestically down to one of the most beautiful beaches in St Lucia, the Marquis Bay, where with pristine white sands meet clear, turquoise waters that are perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling.

Originally the site of an 18th century sugar mill and more recently a banana plantation, the estate is resplendent with native fruit trees including mango, papaya, coconut, avocado, breadfruit, star fruit, plum and coffee. Tall flame flowers, orchids, jasmine, bougainvillea, oleander and hibiscus explode with colour and the bright red flamboyant tree attracts tiny iridescent humming birds.

An estate of this individuality requires considerable care to leave this piece of land better than it is. The developer plans to do this by ensuring the indigenous population’s involvement and the protection of the wildlife and existing ecosystems to create a new legacy.

We have already released hotel suites and apartments for early investment at off plan prices of more than 50% below market value.

If you raise a loan to fund the 30% for your deposit, the developer will make the payments for this amount on your behalf. See the example below:

30% deposit required (less £1000 ($2000) reservation fee) within 45 days of reservation. Should you choose to borrow the 30% deposit, the developer will pay the loan repayments, including interest, for the 30% deposit until completion of the specific unit you have reserved. These payments will then be added to the purchase price upon completion.

Example (Sterling): Property price £200,000. £1000 reservation fee paid. The deposit = £200,000 x 30% = £60,000 – £1000 (reservation fee) = £59,000. Interest on £59,000 @ 6% p.a. = £295 per month, paid for 24 months by the developer = £7,080 added to the purchase price upon completion.

Example (US Dollar): Property price $370,000. $2000 reservation fee paid. The deposit = $370,000 x 30% = $111,000 – $2000 (reservation fee) = $109,000. Interest on $109,000 @ 6% p.a. = $545 per month, paid for 24 months by the developer = $13,080 added to the purchase price upon completion.

Due to the significantly discounted off-plan contract price and the capital appreciation during the construction phase, it is anticipated that the £200,000 ($370,000) purchase price will have grown to a property value at completion of circa £325,000 ($601,250)

At this point a 70% developer loan ( *Subject to finance ) will be required and therefore you will be able to borrow up to £227,500 ($420,875). This is clearly ample to pay for the £199,000 ($368,000) (purchase price less £1000 ($2000) reservation fee) that you owe as well as the accrued interest of £7,080 ($13,080) – from the above example.

Assuming you borrowed the maximum loan to value mortgage, available from the example above, you would borrow £227,500 ($420,875) on which the annual interest payment would be £18,200 ($33,670) based on a rate of 8%. The rental guarantee of 10% of your purchase price of £200,000 ($370,000) will generate you an income of £20,000 ($37,000) each year, should cover your mortgage payments. If you wish you could retain the £59,000 ($109,150) loan you took out for the deposit, pay the interest yourself each month, from completion onwards, and use the money to invest in a further investment property purchase.

A Self Invested Personal Pension, known as a SIPP, is a personal pension for which the person investing for retirement decides what their pension fund is invested in. Traditionally pensions are managed by a pension fund manager who may invest in volatile stocks and shares or boring old cash and the investor has no control or influence on this decision.

You can now use your pension funds to invest in a Caribbean Property using a SIPP.

Any type of pension can be transferred into a SIPP, for instance many people have several ‘frozen’ pensions from previous employment or businesses and/or personal pensions that they can transfer. This is a complex area and it does need professional advice.

We have teamed up with one of the UK’s leading independent wealth management companies which specialises in pensions and investments. They will carry out an initial review completely free of charge for potential investors to assess whether their existing pension plans may be transferred into a SIPP.

For further details please contact us and we will be happy to introduce you to an independent pension specialist.
