An alternative way to invest in property without the stress of Off-Plan ownership

March 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Land & Property Options Explained

Land options are by no means a new method for buying into future value, and are structured product large corporate developers have used and prospered from for decades. We have structured a ‘land & property option’ that’s simple to understand and affordable.
At the pre-development stage, before infrastructure, we offer our clients the chance to purchase an ‘option’ on the land plots where a particular type of property will be built.  This means investors can buy into the development at a significantly smaller level without the need to make an outright purchase or with a need for borrowing. We do this to release capital tied up in the original purchase of the site. It allows us to then start the infrastructure stage and then progress to the build stage of the project. As the project moves forward we will then offer you the first right of refusal to either purchase the property ‘off-plan’ or sell the option back to us or indeed a third party. The increased option price is based upon the difference in values between the raw land and the finished development price achieved on the property.

The investment offer is best described in a simple 3 point plan shown below:

•   Option Sales commence
•   Initial Building works commence
•   Resale and property investment sales commence (this is also the exit for the option holders)

Here is a brief summary

•   Plot Options sold to investors via our brokerage arm
•   Final option sold and all clients updated.
•   Infrastructure work undertaken or started
•   First tranche of resort villas and fares built
•   Off-Plan resort villas and fares marketed to either option holders or property investors
•   As the first resort villas and fares are sold and the deposit payment taken, the option holder receives their return.
All done on a first in first out basis

Economic and Political Stability

•   A recent survey by the Asian Development Bank highlighted favourable economic factors; specifically mentioning GDP of 3.1%. Inflation at less than 1%. Decreasing external debt and a budget surplus.
•   A US $65m grant has been secured to fund the surfacing of the ring road around the island of Efate where the capital Port Villa is situated. With Lazuli Blue being a direct beneficiary of this project as our land prices were secured prior o the roads final confirmation. As a result, this has increased access to land around the island and will drive up property prices as ease of access is increased island wide for further development projects.
•   $25m has been spent upgrading Vanuatu’s aviation infrastructure. Port Villa is now serviced by a modern airport terminal with daily direct flights to Australia and other regional cities. As a result tourism numbers to rise year on year.
