A report just released by Standard Life, displays how emerging markets have overtaken many established ones, as the safest place to make investments. Among the emerging markets mentioned Brazil is Standard Life’s favourite, having just invested heavily in the country themselves.

Brazil was quoted as a safe place to invest because, its production of grain and other basic materials, combined with the low cost of said materials, has led to the country benefiting massively from the major emerging markets like China and India, who are importing massive amounts of basic materials to sustain their own economic growth. Russia, Africa and other Latin American countries also got a mention in the report.

Liam Bailey, Head of International Research was wholly in agreement with the report:
“This report is good for the property investment industry, especially those, who, like us focus on the strengths of emerging markets. I myself have many times drawn attention to the fact that many emerging markets have the potential to survive a global slowdown, because business will increasingly move their operations into cheaper locations, import their goods from cheaper places, and tourists will start to look out for places where they can holiday cheaply.”

“Brazil ticks all those boxes,” continued Bailey, “but Brazil is not the only country that is, and will continue to benefit from the changing global economy. Albania, Montenegro, the Philippines, Cambodia, Costa Rica and Panama as well as the Thai islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, are the emerging markets we are focussing on, because for us, their affordable attractiveness to businesses, and/or tourists puts them in prime position to not only survive the global slowdown, but continue to see substantial growth.”

David Stanley Redfern have property in all the locations mentioned above, including some very affordable properties with finance in Koh Samui, Brazil land plots from under £7000, and Brazil apartments from under £20,000.

A little while back money week ran a story on how all the big financial institutions like Meryl Lynch, have been buying German apartments in bulk — tens of thousands at a time. They have been given this opportunity by Germany’s privatised industries selling of their property stocks to reduce costs. And they have taken the opportunity because Germany has the most depressed property market of all industrialised, “western” countries.

Liam Bailey, Head of International Research for David Stanley Redfern , gave his thoughts on what this means for the German property market:
“These major players buying thousands of apartments throughout Berlin and Germany are likely to use their considerable financial clout to create somewhat of a seller’s market, and/or to increase incentives for people to buy. Most notably raising rents, and increasing the availability of finance packages, as well as the percentage thereof.”

Janet Gieram, a Berliner and head of DSR’s new Western European Division, said that their plans are already beginning to take effect, with “prices and rental rates finally seeing some real growth, the latter triggering an upsurge in people willing to buy their property as oppose to just renting.”

Berlin then, currently presents one of the best investment opportunities on the global market, because property there is more affordable than any other established market. Put simply, you can buy into the safety of an established market, with the price and potential of an emerging market property.

David Stanley Redfern ‘s new Western European division, consisting of a fully staffed office, and a team of sourcers, gives them the ability to maintain what has become one of the liveliest portfolios of German properties of any other worldwide agent operating in the market. Currently DSR are focusing on Berlin property, but plan to offer property throughout Germany as decent opportunities become available.

David Stanley Redfern even have 3 bulk investment opportunities, where tens of apartments are being sold as a package. This gives serious investors the chance to play with the big boys like Meryl, Lynch, and fully capitalise as the latter’s efforts to generate return on their investments continue to bring about growth in the market.

DSR’s bulk Berlin investment opportunities include: a development of 1 commercial unit and 8 apartments in Kreuzberg, and a development of 2 commercial units and 6 apartments in Pankow.
