2009-10-23T14:38:00.000-07:00

However the Philippines is actually reputed to be the most Westernised of all of the Asian countries and has a lot to offer the prospective investor as it possesses an emerging property market with huge potential.

It has long standing roots with the Western world, it has a US and Spanish cultural heritage with its own unique flavour. It is also the third largest English speaking country and employs a democratic form of government (the metropolis of Manila being its capital) both of which make doing business their much easier than in other Asian countries.

The country itself is a tropical paradise, thousands of tourists are increasingly becoming aware of its natural beauty, temperately warm climate and gentle winds. It is said to be ecologically one of the most diverse countries in the world and is fast becoming the top tourist destination in Asia, particularly for the Chinese who are just north of the islands. The increased tourism has increased the property market and this is set to continue.

The Philippines currently has a wide range of property to offer and contrary to other parts of the world, Manila in particular is said to be currently undergoing a property boom and as such DSR Asset Management Ltd. has some exciting and lucrative opportunities for investment to take advantage of the current economic situation in Manila.

The Lancaster Atrium is 1 of 3 skyscrapers hosting these outstanding facility filled, fully fitted and ready to rent apartments amidst an expansive corporate environment that’s abundant with established Filipino and multi-national companies, luxury hotels and restaurants and perhaps most notably, the world's first 24 hour floodlit golf course that’s greatly appreciated by many a globe trotting investor who can be found unwinding or networking as they go.

The Philippines: Ten Percent Capital Appreciation in just a few days

2008-07-16T05:25:00.000-07:00

Construction costs in the Philippines are expected to increase by more than 35 percent this year due to record oil, steel, cement and global shipping prices on the back of US Dollar devaluation.

Nearly all construction materials used in the development of Philippine high-rise buildings are imported. With the strong depreciation of the US Dollar value in the South-East Asia combined with record high oil prices that may see crude hit 150/160 USD per barrel in July and August 2008, construction materials exported from China, Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan, together with their shipping costs, continue to increase in price at a phenomenal rate as exporters of steel reinforcement bars, electrical wirings, aluminium, copper based components and Portland cement in the region are set for upwards of 40/50 percent price increases.

Developers of the Lancaster The Atrium Towers in Manila stated they would increase prices of apartments by 10 percent, effective July 16 2008, but clients who reserve now through David Stanley Redfern can take advantage of current prices and see an immediate return on their investment. Not to mention obtaining 70% interest free non status finance.

This is the perfect opportunity to get into a hot market as Philippines property is expected to grow in value by no less than 24 percent for the next five years and possibly even more in the next 2-3 years.

Philippines GDP has been rising by over 5 percent year-on-year and Manila has fast become a major S.E Asian trading post and is no competing against Bangkok as the commercial gateway to the East.

And despite the high prices of foreign imports such as oil hitting the economy – economic growth is expected to slow between 5.2-6.2 percent this year - property prices in the Philippines are being kept buoyant by a huge housing backlog, low interest rates, friendly payment terms, higher incomes of workers in the growing outsourcing industry, and a rising expatriate population.

The housing backlog of 3.8 million units, in particular, has left 70 percent of the country’s estimated 90 million population without their own home. This is the big difference between now, and the property boom before the Asian crisis of 1997-98. The demand for housing is not speculative; it is not investor driven; but rather end-user demand driven; a specific demand that is being addressed.

And despite the rising costs, construction continues to boom across much of the country, especially in Manila, a mostly low-rise city where dozens of residential towers are beginning to dot the skyline; at least 38,000 new apartments will be available by 2013 in the Makati financial district and in nearby Bonifacio Global City alone.

It is in Makati that The Lancaster the Atrium Towers are situated, in the heart of the central business district. Off plan prices per m2 in this district have grown by 40% in the last 24 months and the property promises higher than average yields of around 12 percent.

But by buying through the overseas property specialists, David Stanley Redfern , investors now have the chance to see a return of 10 percent capital appreciation in just a few days.

The Philippines: Strong Growth in Testing Times

2008-06-17T11:44:00.000-07:00

Despite the prospect of an economic slowdown -- the result of an increasingly hostile global climate -- strong growth is expected to continue unabated in the Philippines property market.

On Friday, the Philippines Economic Planning Secretary Augusto Santos said he expected annual economic growth to slow between 5.2-6.2 percent in the first quarter as high oil and food prices hit consumption.

Despite this, property prices in the Philippines are being kept buoyant by a huge housing backlog, low interest rates, friendly payment terms, higher incomes of workers in the growing outsourcing industry, and a rising expatriate population.

In particular, the housing backlog of 3.8 million units has left 70 percent of the country’s 90 million population (approx) without their own home. This is the big difference between now, and the property boom before the Asian crisis of 1997-98. The demand for housing is not speculative; it is not investor driven; but rather end-user demand driven -- a specific demand that is being addressed.

Construction is booming across much of the country, especially in Manila, a mostly low-rise city where dozens of residential towers are beginning to dot the skyline. According to David Stanley Redfern research, at least 38,000 new apartments will be available by 2013 in the Makati financial district and in nearby Bonifacio Global City alone.

One such property in Makati is Lancaster the Atrium Towers. Situated in the heart of the central business district the units are keenly priced and offer substantial capital growth. Off plan prices per m2 in this district have grown by 40% in the last 24 months and the property promises higher than average yields of around 12 percent.

With no let-up in demand, the time to invest is now.

Philippines Property Boosted by Rising Tourism

2008-06-17T06:48:00.000-07:00

The Philippines Department of Tourism data shows tourist arrivals from January to April increased by 7.5 percent on the same four months last year.

Tourist arrivals in the Philippines already topped the 3 million mark in 2007, the highest in years, while tourism spending grew by almost 41 percent last year. Yet 2008 looks likely to be an even better year for the Philippines.

In April alone, arrivals were up 4.3 percent on last years figures, a 126% improvement over the 1.9% increase recorded in April 2007. Add to this the possible introduction of a common visa across South-East Asia -- a move expected to streamline tourism to the region -- and the future looks bright for the Philippines.

There is nowhere better placed to profit from this increase than the capital, Manila. Of the 11 cruise ships that arrived in the country throughout January to April; seven of them disembarked here.

It is in Manila; in the prosperous financial district of Makati where David Stanley Redfern’s Lancaster the Atrium Towers can be found. Already the location of choice for serious global investors, Makati benefits from an ever increasing number of business users that flock to the area as multi-national corporations and established Filipino companies take hold.

Off plan prices per m2 in the Makati district grew by 40% in the last 24 months and units in Lancaster the Atrium can come fully furnished, fully managed and ready to rent. With business demand already promising rental yields of up to 12%, an upsurge in tourist arrivals merely presents another reason to invest.

Philippines Property: Internal Sales Increase as External Fall

2008-05-20T07:25:00.000-07:00

According to a Reuters Real Estate report, the number of Philippines properties being bought by Filipinos based in the U.S. and other countries has began to fall because of U.S. economic woes, but development continues to grow, as the shortfall is picked up by increasing sales to Filipino's from within the country. This is a massively important report for the Philippines, because it means that the efforts to resolve issues over the distribution of wealth in the country are beginning to pay off.

Most of the development is happening in Manila, specifically in the Makati financial district, and especially high rise condominiums and apartment hotel complexes.
David Stanley Redfern are ideally placed to comment on sales figures for High Rise apartment complexes in Manila's Makati financial district, and Martin Foster, Investment Risk Analyst for the o verseas property specialist did just that:
"Our Lancaster Atrium three tower high rise apartment complex is selling like hot-cakes. The first tower was sold out before completion, and having pictures of the finished first tower as visual aides in marketing the second tower, have helped to ensure it has sold just as rapidly. The second tower only has a few of the larger units remaining, and we have started taking advance orders for the third tower."

Martin refers to the Lancaster Atrium, a development of studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in the heart of the Makati financial district. Studio's originally started at £27,500, but prices increased by 17% last month, making the starting price for units in the development around the £33,000 mark. Given the growth in Philippines property, when the third tower comes on to the market it is unlikely you will be able to get a studio apartment for any less than £35,000.

David Stanley Redfern research department have predicted sustained growth of at least 24% per year in the Philippines, for at least the next 5 years. Anyone who wants a studio apartment now will need to wait for the release of the third tower, but would be advised to get in as early as possible before the inevitable price rise.

Money to Be Made in Manila

2008-04-14T11:24:00.000-07:00

As everywhere in the world, the credit crunch causes most people in most countries to tighten the grip on their pockets, the Philippines, well to be honest, Manila, money is being thrown about by the million. All of Philippines major newspapers this week covered the report by the Thrift bank, which announced a massive increase in mortgage lending for 2007, up by 11% to 84.4 Billion Philippine Pesos. And that was only one story of many that mentioned multi-million or multi-billion peso sums.

Asia as a whole is predicted by analysts to be the world region most likely to see continued and strong growth throughout the turmoil endured by the global economic infrastructure, but the Philippines is even exceptional for being within Asia.

So, with so much growth potential, David Stanley Redfern's Manila apartments in the twin-tower Lancaster Atrium development are suitably priced to make the most of the Manila boom.

Starting from £28,000 for an unfurnished studio, £33,000 with the least expensive furniture pack installed, that Atrium apartments are "set to double in value in the next 2 to 4 years," according to Martin Foster Investment Risk Analyst for the overseas property specialist, he continued:

"Based on other Asian capitals, now established markets like Bangkok, and those that began their growth cycles before Manila, like Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 25% annual capital appreciation is easily achievable for Manila. The downside constantly mentioned for Philippines property investment on forums is the high Capital Gains Tax, but as I told one person on a forum:

Panama city property prices grew by 50%, between early 2006 and early 2008 putting capital appreciation at 25% per year for the past two years, in Cambodia, many people have bought and sold 6 months later for 12% more than they paid, and bought and sold in a year for 24% more than they paid, putting Cambodia capital appreciation at 24-25% year on year. Manila is showing similar economic growth, and attracting similar new businesses and development as both those cities did at the start of their growth cycles. I'll put myself on the line, if I bought now and sold in four years time I would expect to be left with double what I paid, even after paying taxes."

Investment Risk Analyst, Martin Foster chimed in:
"The Lancaster Atrium towers are selling like hot-cakes, the first tower, which was recently completed, was sold out well in advance of completion, and the second tower has only a few apartments left. The photographs of the finished first-tower apartments have proven a valuable visual aide in marketing the second tower."
Prospective investors who see the potential of Manila investment property are advised to act swiftly to avoid disappointment.
