  • meakinmaster60 replied to the topic Investing in France? in the forum Overseas Deals 15 years, 8 months ago

    Hello All.I hope that this post helps you guys.My wife and I purchased a property in Cannes in the South of France in November 2007.At this time the interest rate was 4.1%.Purchasing was relatively pain free, as we had a few bi lingual people helping us along the way. Our Noterie ( lawyer) also was fluent in English, as all the documents must be…[Read more]

    Hi there Recco,some interesting points mate,  above.My opinion is that you seem alittle too eager to take what "anyone will tel you" I am not sure how old you are , but I am young -26 and have a fair few properties up my sleeve already.

  • meakinmaster60 replied to the topic PTY vs LLC in the forum Overseas Deals 16 years, 5 months ago

    I would use LLC, as Pty from my knowledge is only Australian. Australia is a small market, if you look on the global scale, and more people would be familiar wih LLCt than Pty.My confidence is growing with online buying, so if you concentrate on "emphasizing " security etc yu might be on a winner.I dont like using sites if the look the lest bit…[Read more]

    Sorry-Just reading through some of your posts,They won't  just give you a visa. You have to fill lots of paperwork, go for a very uncomfortable medical, you must come back to the UAE a few times every year to keep it valid, and you need to pay a few 000's AED every year for it.Like I mentioned in my big post, please do your ground work, asses…[Read more]

  • meakinmaster60 replied to the topic Why invest in Dubai… in the forum Overseas Deals 16 years, 5 months ago

    For those interested in purchasing in Dubai-I have just taken the keys to an "off plan" property that I have been waiting for for 3 years.My thoughts are, that if you can wait that log, ok. but it was very difficult to deal with the "local way" of doing business. Yes- as mentioned they have a lot of infrastructure, but dealing with the devlopers…[Read more]

    G’day!
    welcome to the site!
    It sure is exciting isnt it? buying a property!!

    I like to look at realestate agents as ” creatures” all they think about is comissions! and the seller.

    Legally from my understanding , the “creature” must hand in all resonable offers, of course they will cough and choke about our offers, but…

  • meakinmaster60 replied to the topic Agent or no agent? in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 11 months ago

    G’day Barni,
    My advice would be to first have a look around at some other agents, ask them there procedures etc. If some of your friends have a good agent, ask them what there details are, maybe change agents. but you will hve to give the correct notice to your current slack one.
    Managing your own place can be very good, but it can get very messy.…[Read more]
