Opportunity for Overseas Property Sales

Researched and brought to you by The IFA Webshow and The Overseas Property Webshow in conjunction with Property International (PI Marketing Limited) and Harlequin Property.

Introduction

In these turbulent times, finding a safe investment proposition is certainly a challenge. But we think we have found a rare bright spot in a UK company that develops property throughout the Caribbean and has ticked all the boxes in terms of the product itself and all the factors that surround a successful long-term investment.

Harlequin Property was established in 2001 and has seen consistent growth year-on-year. Sales of their property continue to increase - even after the credit crunch and January 2009 will be their best month ever. In 2008 they sold in excess of £300 million of investment property.

Why work with us?

Harlequin have a very good product in the right location. And have organised financing, rentals, guarantees and the infrastructure that is essential for a successful investment. The product is government approved as a SIPP investment, up to 100% finance can be arranged and a property purchased for as little as £1,000 of the investor’s own money.

A wide range of property from around £100K up to £2.2 Million means that every level of investor can be accommodated. No Capital Gains Tax, Buying Tax or Inheritance Tax offers a very tax-efficient investment.

Property International Marketing (PI Marketing Limited) is a 15-year old marketing company, an accredited partner with Harlequin and works closely with the Financial Services and Overseas Property markets, giving a unique insight into the opportunities – and dangers.

PIM will arrange full sales and marketing support for its signed-up agents throughout the UK. This means experienced sales professionals directly from Harlequin are available on request.

Very high quality printed marketing materials are available free of charge. And if needed, PIM will build and host a small website for an IFA promoting both the IFA's business and the Harlequin property opportunity.*

PIM may also be able to provide some additional sales leads for the IFA’s geographic location. There is no charge for these leads and you can also use them for your own business development purposes.

Commission or client discount

Both Harlequin and PIM are UK based companies with a proven track record and commission payments are reliable, traceable and also VAT-free.

6% of the purchase price is payable to an IFA/Agent who is responsible for the sale of a property, even if sales support is provided by Harlequin or PIM. The IFA may use this as a commission or pass it through to a client as a discount, according to the IFA model being used.

PIM will advise the IFA/Agent when the deposit has been paid and will accept an invoice for the correct amount. The invoice will be paid normally within 10 working days of receipt of cleared funds from the developer. This is typically 8-12 weeks from reservation, but does depend on the client’s deposit timescale.

IFA success

An independent IFA firm introduced by us a few months ago has now sold 6 properties with a further 6 in the pipeline. The IFA was encouraged to visit the developer and ensure that he was completely satisfied with the product and the integrity of the developer before signing up.
