222-356% Anticipated Return On 5-star Beachfront Resort In Greek Isles

Nov. 20, 2008 - PRLog -- Hot Properties Worldwide is delighted to announce a truly exciting opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a 5-star beachfront resort on the exquisite Greek island of Samos. A £1,000 reservation fee is all the cash required to completion in 2011 to secure a luxury property at Halcyon Hills that can earn attractive financial rewards backed by government guarantees.

This luxury beachfront lifestyle and investment opportunity - choose from 209 ocean-view residences with a stunning array of facilities, including a 1,200-square-metre Spa - won't last long, with prices set to rise in January 2009 at official launch.

Exceptional launch prices - over 70% below nearest competitor - Capital appreciation up to 20% per annum in Greece
According to a study by Christie and Co., there is a strong demand for 5-star accommodation on Samos, which currently has no luxury resorts that can compare to Halcyon Hills (http://www.hotpropertiesworldwide.com/Halcyon-Hills.html) and its stunning beachfront location and world-class amenities.

The Greek government is committed to increasing tourism by over 50% by 2013 - more than 17 million tourists visited Greece in 2007. Samos is already the third most visited of the Greek islands, and government officials expect tourism will rise here by 20% per year for the foreseeable future. Greece is in the Top 10 most popular places for British buyers to invest, and the Greek property market saw strong growth with up to 20% capital appreciation, according to the New York Times.

The nearest comparable 5-star Spa resort with a beachfront location is on the Greek island of Crete. Prices at the Elounda Diamond Resort start from £10,782 per square metre - with no rental guarantee! Prices per square metre at the Halcyon Hills Resort, with a guaranteed rental return, start from £2,991.

Government-backed 8% rental guarantee for 2 years - Magnificent world-class Spa, marina, dive centre
Along with incredible initial launch prices, investors have the opportunity to further cash in by participating in the rental programme. Full-ownership participants get a two-year rental guarantee of 8% per year, followed by a 50/50 split of room revenue. The two-year programme is underwritten by the government, ensuring investors receive a true rental guarantee from Day 1.

The 5-star Halcyon Hills resort has been designed to provide stunning sea views from all properties. Choose from studio apartments, kampanas, townhouses and villas. All come with terraces. The two-storey detached three-bedroom villas also have their own private pool and patio areas.

Strict planning laws ensure supply will be limited - Samos the 3rd most visited Greek isle
Unlike Spain, where developers can build on up to 80% of the plot size, building laws in the Greek isles have set a limit of 20% if based around a hotel of 4-5 stars and 5% for 3 stars and under.

These strict planning rules will keep a healthy balance between demand and supply, assuring strong rental returns and resale values. They will also ensure that Samos, known as the "Green Aegean Island" for its forested hills and olive groves gently sloping to a shimmering azure sea, will remain beautiful.

Fractional ownership available from just £24,000 total investment - Up to 4 weeks FREE use per year
Set on an elevated plot of land with magnificent views, Halcyon Hills is ideally located on the south coast, only 15 minutes from the capital, Vathy. Within walking distance to the east is the delightful little hamlet of Klima, where you will find charming local tavernas.

Five-star furniture packages of exceptional quality and design will be offered at the low price of Euro 100 per square metre, compared to the regular price of Euro 380.

In addition to full ownership, fractional ownership - you buy a 1/12th share in a villa - is available starting at just £24,000 total investment. As an owner, you will own an asset in terms of real estate property which may be willed or sold.

Full ownership investors at Halcyon Hills get 2 weeks of FREE personal use per year, while fractional owners get up 4 weeks. Fractional owners also have access to a rental programme and FREE furniture package.

100% assisted-financing offered by resort's established developer
All you need to cash in on Halcyon Hills is a deposit of £1,000 - nothing else to pay until completion in 2011, when a guaranteed mortgage of up to 70% of the value of your property will be available. For investors who finance the 30% deposit through borrowed funds, the developer will pay the interest, meaning your entire purchase is 100% assisted-financed to completion. The resort's established British developer, regulated by the AIPP, has built a reputation for quality property with more than 2,500 units completed in Europe.
Prices start at £160,000 (approx. USD 239,417 / Euro 189,900).
