Buyers Guide

Moving to Cape Verde - the sun, sea and serenity will take care of themselves leaving you to concentrate on more practical matters. Good planning will make things run much smoother and Capeverde4sale are there to guide you through every step of the way. First and foremost you should consider what you are looking for when buying a property abroad.

Island living

A lot will depend on the number in your family, do you need parking etc. One thing you can be assured of is prime location near the beach. You are never far away from a beach in Cape Verde and scrumming down for towel space will be the last thing on your mind, it’s like having your own private beach.

Investment

It’s not often you get the chance to buy into a resort just before it takes off, but Cape Verde is widely acknowledged as the next big thing in overseas property. It’s a blank canvas at the moment but with analysts predicting a 70 per cent rise in property values over the next 24 months, the picture is very rosy.

The property price is fixed up front and for an average capital outlay of 30 per cent at the launch stage of an off plan development, you can spread payments over 18 to 24 months. At completion you will have the choice of selling before taking the title deeds or renting on a short or long term basis.

Holiday home

Cape Verde gives you all year round flexible options as the temperate climate means you are virtually guaranteed great weather at any time of year. Direct flights to Cape Verde are set to increase steadily as improved facilities come on line and as you will not pinned down to high summer, you wont be stuck with seasonal air ticket price hikes!

Family and friends can also benefit from your holiday home or it can be rented out through a management company.

Buy to let

If you have an eye on the long term, when work or family commitments are less pressing, off plan buying is ideal as you get your home now when the price is at it’s lowest. An agreed rental term will then give you a steady income and peace of mind until you are ready to enjoy the benefits yourself. Should you wish to take on a mortgage, the rental income will generally take care of the payments and not disrupt your financial routine.

Short term holiday renting to tourists is another option, one which will earn more money than longer term lets. Again Cape Verde comes into it’s own by virtue of the all year round climate. You can rent out in the peak of the UK’s holiday season and still have plenty of sun weeks left for yourself.
