Savvy Property Investors to Benefit From "Planning Uplift" Investment Strategy, Says Propertyshowrooms.com

Property investors today are able to take advantage of "planning uplift," a technique usually reserved for property developers, where early investors can potentially realize three figure percentage ROI as the land is re-zoned, according to web based real estate experts, Propertyshowrooms.com and their International Property Investment Network.

Jardin de los Reyes is a beautiful and highly exclusive low-density project located midway between the current property hotspots of Alicante and Valencia.

The idea is to provide individual investors with capital returns previously only enjoyed by property developers! This is achieved through a method of "land-banking" within a planned resort development. Plots of land are purchased before the pre-planning stage, while the initial development plans are yet to be presented to the town hall, on the basis that the plot will be worth substantially more after planning approval. The owner of the land then has the option to re-sell the plot and benefit from the land reclassification or continue to build a dream villa on Jardin de los Reyes to achieve further substantial financial gains from property development here.

Gareth Milton, Operations Manager for propertyshowrooms.com explains, "We are terming this project ‘Off-Off-Plan’! For the first time, investor clients will have a safe and secure opportunity to benefit from appreciation generated from various stages of planning approval, which usually only the land owner or developer will profit from". Investors need to be aware that land for development increases in value in the three stages;

- Stage 1 sees the land as undeveloped, agricultural land.

- Stage 2 is the registration of a change of use by local authorities, as it becomes of integral importance to the local town expansion programme.

- Stage 3 is the development phase when the land is further converted to residential or commercial status and increases in value with the property market.

In this way investors benefit from the "Planning Uplift" gained by re-zoning. Jardin de los Reyes land has been comprehensively evaluated in order to maximise investment potential while the timing of applications and development matches all current and future planning regulations.

Not only will Jardin de los Reyes be an excellent investment, it is set to rival all other European resorts upon completion. Plans include a golf resort with 3 hotels, world class equestrian centre, polo fields, Olympic standard indoor stadium, and tennis and golf academies. And if this is not enough, purchasers will benefit from a private vineyard, bodega and wine museum, as well as an amphitheatre, botanical gardens, forests with a rural hotel and all commercial support facilities. Finally, in addition to the above facilities, plots will of course be delivered with a high quality road infrastructure and utilities.

The International Property Investment Network (IPIN) has thoroughly investigated this exciting new opportunity and is fully satisfied with the investor protection and exit strategies in place. If pre-planning is not reached by 9th December, a full refund of purchasers’ money is to be made. Final presentation of the project to the Town Hall is set for June 2007 while Spanish bank guarantee provisions guarantee purchasers their money back to this point, therefore entailing no risk to investor funds.

"Propertyshowrooms.com, is delighted to be able to offer this truly unique product for the Spanish market. Simply investing in off-plan property and relying on Spanish growth is no longer good enough for most investors. We truly believe it will be our fastest selling global investment to date", says Gareth Milton.

Similar resorts in the area (although lower quality and much higher density) are currently selling plots for a minimum of 200,000 euros for land of just half this size, so it is clear the potential gains a purchase in Jardin de los Reyes, particularly at this early stage will provide. Many people are seeing Jardin de los Reyes as an excellent opportunity to buy into a project right from the start, build a retirement home over a ten year period, and reap the level of capital appreciation rewards that, until now, only property developers could dream of. "In short", continues Gareth, "investors now have an outstanding opportunity to invest in Spanish property at emerging market prices, in what is Europe’s most established tourist and real estate market".

Currently 300 plots out of 500 are being offered at this rock-bottom price, while the next 100 will have a price tag of 80,000 euros and the final 100 plots will be priced at 105,000 euros. Already shrewd investors are buying in from start and acting fast on this lucrative and secure opportunity. As always with land purchases, time is of the essence - currently there are only 250 plots left and all purchasers are advised to move fast to secure the best ones before it is too late.
