Cambodia: Asia's Property Investment Tiger

Tiger is a word that is used a lot when talking about emerging markets -- especially Asian ones. But when I use tiger to describe Cambodia it also has an additional meaning to the norm, in that Cambodia is primed and ready to pounce. Most of you interested in investing in a Cambodian property may already know that foreigners can't buy property freehold there because of government restrictions - and that apart from that fact, Cambodia is one of Asia's best property investment markets.

So you will be glad to know that the government is currently coming under increasing pressure to abolish the restrictions on foreign ownership, and the possibility of buying freehold in Cambodia may be just around the corner. Current law leaves potential foreign investors with two options, leasehold of up to 99 years, or forming a company, and taking on Cambodian nationals as partners sharing 49% of the company -- the foreigner has the controlling 51% share.

David Stanley Redfern Ltd has some excellent properties in one of Cambodia's strongest areas: the French Riverside Quarter of Pnomh Penh: left over from the French colonial era, the aptly named French Colonial Apartments. The properties are bought on a 99 year leasehold and cost from £29,151 for a one bedroom and from £48, 100 for a 2 bedroom. In the contract is a clause that allows buyers to buy their property freehold for $1 should the law change to allow it. Their location is one of the prime areas of Cambodian real estate, making their low price a real bargain.

The properties are completely refurbished in what I would call a modernist style with an oriental twist, (or is it an oriental style with a modernist twist? See accompanying pictures and decide for yourself) and what I would also call absolutely stunning. Perhaps most attractive about the properties is that they come with a 10% guaranteed rental yield for the first two years. But because of Cambodia's recent popularity with tourists, and the shedding of its skin as a destination for back-packers, to attract more of the middle-high end of the tourism market, with more disposable income, earning a 10% yield after 2 years shouldn't be all that difficult. Capital appreciation on the properties is conservatively estimated at 20% - 25%.

Also on the plus side is the fact that Cambodia's rental laws are pro-landlord, and there is no income tax on rental income, other than the tenant withholding 14% of the land-lords rent is what is unsurprisingly called a withholding tax. Also on the plus side are the low-moderate total transaction costs of 3.9% - 6.5%.

Overseas property investment specialists David Stanley Redfern Ltd are offering investors the chance to own an affordable, financially rewarding 1-2 bedroom property from as little as £29,151 so, the failsafe ownership of a highly desirable riverside property in the revered French Quarter of Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital city, is there for the taking, along with all of its attached benefits.

Cambodia’s current capital growth promises an enticing 15%-20% net rental return, however, these apartments include a 2 year guarantee of a 10% minimum return, so a little peace of mind comes with the package too.. With Cambodia’s profile attracting an increasing number of holiday takers and investment makers alike, the vast rental opportunities are simply undeniable.

French Colonial Class Stirs Property Investment in Cambodia

Longstanding and reputable overseas property investment specialists David Stanley Redfern Ltd have recently presented their stunning 1-2 bedroom French Colonial apartments in the emerging property market of Cambodia. Available with a guaranteed 10% net return for the first 2 years and an expected 15%-20% capital growth to follow in light of Cambodia’s thriving economy, this opportunity is one that’s certainly not to be missed.

With just a £1000 reservation fee to secure the property and the 65% ‘pay upon satisfactory completion’ offer that’s attached, the fail-safe purchase of a high demand apartment in the Cambodian capital is a whole lot more affordable and obtainable than you might imagine. Foreign investment in Cambodia between 2004 and 2005 increased by an astounding 450% and when combined with Cambodia’s already strong tourism industry and its expected increase of 20% per year for the coming 5 years, tenancy is surely rewarding as well as being as good as guaranteed.

With Cambodia’s future and all investments made in it looking so promising, the financial benefits are clear but, what do you get for your money?

There’s more to Cambodia than its cascading waterfalls, exotic tropical life and ancient relics from an austere but nonetheless auspicious cultural heritage. Modern day Cambodia enjoys a lifestyle not too dissimilar to any enjoyed in the developed western world and cinema, nightclubs, wining and dining are commonplace.

A handful of annual festivals and celebrations are also held, with anything from ploughing, paying respects to loved ones passed and performing arts being the featured theme, reflecting Cambodia’s contrasting and simplistic sense of tradition. Understandably a popular tourist destination being the location of the auspicious Royal Palace, Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s capital city and host to a number of accommodating local amenities that include restaurants, shops and various other attractions, so to hear that the only thing missing from the Cambodian property landscape are the highly sought after ‘western’ style apartments like the ones offered with this opportunity, is not only good news, its time sensitive news.

Assertive and shrewd investors out there are sure to take advantage of these remaining apartments and so if this could be for you, you at least owe to yourself to contact David Stanley Redfern Ltd for an obligation-free chat about the varying specifications and services on offer, as well as any other queries or concerns you might have.

Overseas Property Investment Boom for Cambodia

Southern East Asia and the magical mysticism it holds might sound a little too prestigious for casual or professional investment making or holiday taking buyers alike. However, award winning overseas property investment specialist David Stanley Redfern Ltd have bridged the gap and closed the distance between potential investors and this auspicious neighbour of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Exclusive and genuinely breathtaking 1-2 bedroom apartments in Cambodia are more than an attractive reason to consider the region, as is their price. Available from $55,000, now‘s surely the right time to at least register your interest in a property market set to soar.

Gloriously refurbished (you really must see the photos); these apartments are situated in the heart of a city on the verge of a widely predicted and massive foreign investment boom. A guaranteed 10% net return for the first 2 years certainly does add appeal to this opportunity, but what’s all this about an investment boom, what’s brought it about?

The abundance of stunning architecture that’s on display in the French quarter of Cambodia’s capital city Phnom Penh or the Pearl of Asia as it’s sometimes affectionately referred to, merely hints at the lavish lifestyles enjoyed in Cambodia already. Being Cambodia’s wealthiest and most populous state, it’s no surprise to learn of its increasing ambition and drive regarding the recognition it righteously deserves for being one of the worlds criminally overlooked beauty spots. But that’s all set to change with fresh focus and scrutiny facing one certain overlooked government policy.

Back in 2005 the Cambodian investment laws were changed in order to allow foreign ownership of any permanent Cambodian fixture, so as to strengthen its already stable economy to the same dizzy heights enjoyed by similar regions within close proximity, Thailand serving as a fine example with its surge of foreign interest over the last few years. However, that particular law never came into being, rendering it redundant with time. Now, with its appetite for development growing stronger and stronger, Cambodia’s government are being strongly urged to review its current foreign investment laws.

International Business Club chairman and US lawyer Bretton Sciaron had this to say on the matter ”There are several reasons for urgent action, this is already a sector of the economy that is dynamic, but foreign ownership of apartments, condominiums and other such structures on the land will help spur further economic growth. Such a regulatory development will provide a dramatic indication that Cambodia has an investor-friendly environment.’ This clearly highlights not only the great potential of the region but the far reaching scope of worldwide interest it holds, that in this case reached the shores of the US.

If getting a piece of the overseas property investment action understandably appeals more than ever before with this stunning property and the opportunities it offers, contact David Stanley Redfern Ltd today with any queries.
