Oh well that was the World Cup that wasn’t really, I was pleased that Spain won , even if Tony picked up the 22 Squids, I understand he is now hunting down the remaining 23 squids from Paul the Octopus.

I guess we can all give up on supporting England in the future and devote our time back to the Premiership, Harry has signed a contract extension at Spurs, I am going to be more optimistic and predict a decent run in the Champions League providing we can draw Undercrackers Warsaw in the preliminary match.

I am making some very good contacts over in Spain for when the cheap properties become available and the market eventually bottoms out , it is far too early yet as most of the Spanish Banks have decided to sit on their repo’s for the time being BUT there is going to be some cheap property to buy in 18 - 24 months time, start saving up, a weak euro could make prices cheaper still, it would still be best to buy with a sterling mortgage.

Anyway I will continue to do the research and build my contacts and will let you know when the timing is right.

As I reported a couple of months ago, Myself and Enzo went over to Cyprus to see our client Phil Skorochod and some of the developments he is involved in marketing. We had a hectic, but most enjoyable couple of days looking at the South East part of the island.

The specification on the properties that we viewed were superb and of a much higher standard than I was expecting. All in all there are some cracking investments on what is a fantastic holiday island at excellent prices with potential also of capital growth.

I will be sending out specification and details to all of our clients but if you want to speak further about investing in Cyprus feel free to contact myself or Enzo.

Myself and Enzo are off to Cyprus Monday to Thursday next week, we are meeting up with one of  our clients Phil who is a developer /agent over there. He wants us to have a look at the off plan developments he is working on as it might be of interest to my clients. Anyway I will be reporting back my findings later next week, if you want to visit his website in the mean time it is www.geminvest.org  Where is Ayia Nappa anyway ?

Many of our clients are aware that myself and Tony have a very strong knowledge of property abroad. I am often asked if we are ever going to offer advice on properties overseas. The answer has always been no or not yet, I am a great believer in doing what you do well and not diversifying too far.

That said if we can find the right agents / developers to work  with overseas and the projects are viable with capital growth it is something we might look at next year. Watch this space………………
