Pacific Concord recently launched Lancaster Cebu, its third condotel condominium project after the Lancaster Suites and Lancaster Atrium Manila. Of 165 units “we have already sold 40 percent to private investors and currently operating 42 condotel suites” Collingz said during a Cocktail Party for arriving guests held at the Lancaster Cebu Poolside.

Lancaster Cebu Condotel releases Buy to Let Investment Packages
A leading property investment marketing company believes the Philippines is one of the best places to buy rental income property at the moment.

ImageThe current economic environment in the US and Europe has left investors wary about where to put their money due to recession and high inflation, according to Beth Collingz, overseas sales director of PLC International, lead marketing partners for Pacific Concord Properties Lancaster brand of condo hotel developments in the Philippines.

US and European economic woes are affecting a key sector of the Philippines residential property market but it is hoped the shortfall will soon be picked up by increasingly affluent Filipinos seeking investment opportunities as well as new overseas investors. The number of Philippines properties being bought by Filipinos based in the US and other countries has began to fall because of the global credit crunch. 'It is a blow but not significant as there are new investment clients out there and we do not focus on the US as a sole marketplace for our sales,' said Collingz. 'Many new investors are looking to replace failed pension plans and other future saving schemes with a solid investment in real estate. Many are looking for investments that will give them an income for retirement. Savvy investors are now looking for a more solid investment with potential for monthly income and Philippine Condo Hotel investments are ideal because Hotel rates in the Philippines are the same if not more expensive than those in the US but the entry level to purchase real estate is only about 10% of what you would have to pay for a Studio in Manhattan,' she added.

Philippine Housing Market
Philippine housing market buy-to-let demonstrates resilience
Image In the darkest days of the credit crunch, some doomsters claim was made so regularly, you might have believed it. This was that buy-to-let was dead, a victim of a housing boom that had turned to bust and the days of the Philippines resurgence as an overseas investment opportunity were supposedly numbered. “Bye-bye Philippines buy-to-let” was an irresistible headline. We now know reports of any decline in Philippine rental real estate or the so called ‘Buy-to-Let” market were exaggerated. PLC International, a Manila based Condotel Marketing Company, reports a 40% increase in demand for rental income property – concentrated around the £35,000 mark – from professionals such as solicitors, accountants and doctors investing for the first time.

In the UK, "investors are once again moving to new areas to find value and 100% financing" said Beth Collingz, Global Marketing Director of PLC International. "More and more of clients for buy-to-let Condo Hotel Investments are coming from the UK. Due to the continued lack of financing in the US and the UK there has been a distinct market shift towards Philippine investment properties over the past few months and we see that trend continuing throughout 2009 well into 2010.

“A lot of this interest is being driven by the relatively cheap market prices in the Philippines compared to Europe and the 100% financed 12 year easy payment options available for our pre-completion Condo Hotel Developments, but there are other factors, too. Offshore Property Investors, Foreign baby boomers as well as overseas Filipinos, are looking for ways to maximize their return on investments as they approach retirement, and so are purchasing second homes, particularly Condo Hotel Investments where they can use the Condo for vacations and rent it out through our In-House Condo Hotel Management when they are not using the unit thereby gaining rental incomes that on today’s purchase prices, give a projected ROI on their investments of some 8% depending upon the mode of payment for the unit”
