Aug. 21, 2007 - PRLog -- The only surprise says overseas investment property specialist, David Stanley Redfern Ltd is that the nation’s Nordic charms have lay dormant for so long.

“There seems to be no limit to the demand for tourist accommodation, particularly in eastern regions and the northern Lapland,” commented David Redfern, managing director. “Despite this, UK investors have been slow to cotton on to Finland’s wintery appeal. With world class ski slopes and amazing array of outdoor activities, the area is primed for a tourist boom. Occupation figures from Russian tourists alone have shown a dramatic upturn this year, rising by 30% so far.”  

A land of icy vistas, pristine natural environments and stunning seasonal contrasts, Finland is by turns both unspoilt and thoroughly modern. In Lapland, an area perhaps the most accustomed to foreign visitors, property owners are spoilt for choice when it comes to marketing their newly acquired property. Exceptional skiing facilities and all-year round golf are standard draws for property owners as niche tourism guarantees excellent rental yields. In Finland, exceptional means world championship ski runs, snowboard facilities, a spectacular purpose built Arctic ski resort and dazzling plains of snow for six months of the year.

“Lapland offers very exciting and potentially lucrative prospects to any buy to let investor,” said David Redfern. “The Levi ski station is a rising winter playground boasting more than 50 slopes catering to every level of ability. Where most destinations would be happy with such a stunning facility, Levi houses more than 52 active tourism concerns, ranging from husky rides and reindeer safari to hot air balloon rides and arctic fishing.”



A land of midnight sun and northern lights, the sun doesn’t dip below the horizon for several weeks in mid-summer, allowing non-winter attractions to take centre stage. In Utsjoki, a single, summer day lasts for over two months ensuring high summer occupation figures for property owners as adventurous tourists visit northern Finland to witness the phenomenon and then stay to sample the unpolluted rolling fells, modern cultural displays, rowing, pampering saunas and modern urban attractions.

David Stanley Redfern Limited is the exclusive agent for the Snow White Aurora Sky hotel complex. The 85 luxury suites are fully furnished with views of the Yllas-mountain and direct access to the ski slopes. Prices start at €136, 094.
