BRAZIL


Brazilian map with established names such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Property consultants JSB International point to excellent


capital appreciation, historically low inflation, thriving manufacturing and self-sufficiency in resources as key drivers for international investment in Brazil - not to mention 4000 miles of beaches. JSB is selling the Palm Springs development in Natal,


North East Brazil, and crucially for the long-term viability of any new project 20 percent of the first phase has been sold to local buyers. Palm Springs is a mix of land plots, villas, apartments and a hotel. Another development in Natal, being marketed by


Property Frontiers, a company which has been pioneering investment and research in global emerging markets for several years, is Edificio Dr Geraldo Furtado by developers Grup Immobiliari. It is two- and three-bedroom properties, from £57,650 in the Petropolis district of Natal. Across Brazil a staggering eight million new homes are


estimated to be needed to meet chronic under-supply, with demand fuelled by a growing middle-class and the availability of mortgage finance. You can buy at Edificio Dr Geraldo Furtado with a 25 per cent deposit, followed by eight stage payments and a final 10 percent payment. A further Brazil investment opportunity is at Praia


Luxuosa on Flexeiras Beach on the North East coast, where freehold villa plots are available with full planning permission and licenses. They are being sold by Kapital International Investment and a 100 square metre house on 450 square metres of land costs around £77,000, but you can invest from just £12,500. The chairman of Kapital International Investment is


Scotsman Keith Punler, who six years ago sold his multi award-winning Scottish housebuilding company Manor Kingdom to Gladedale. At the time it had over £150 million of development sites on its books and was turning over £45 million. Punler turned his attentions abroad and to Brazil’s rapidly emerging market.


ILOA, Barra de Sao Miguel The Brazilian government is talking of restricting foreign


ownership of agricultural land. Brazil has 220 million acres of farmland, with agriculture its most important industry and its agri-business highly advanced. With global demand for food and energy, foreign


investors and indeed governments have looked to secure assets through land, with brown the new gold. “Brazil’s concern with controlling its own food security


is understandable, although we should not discount the strong element of electioneering rhetoric contained in these proposals (the presidential election is in October). Brazil remains a welcoming country with great economic and cultural advantages. If anything, these proposals on land ownership will make residential property investment more attractive and raise its medium to long- term value,” said Aidan Rankin, an economic analyst with Property Frontiers.
