FIRB Exempt Australian Properties

FIRB EXEMPT AUSTRALIAN PROPERTIES PROVIDE RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR HUGE CAPITAL GAINS
Foreign Investment Approved Freehold Australian Landed Property from HKD7 million

 In Australia, it is always more beneficial for foreign investors to own landed properties or homes rather than apartment units for the simple reason that it makes smarter investment sense to do so – foreign investors can only purchase new property projects and cannot buy off the secondary market. Foreigners who invest in apartments have a very small pool of buyers they can resell their property to because they can only resell to locals. Locals however generally prefer to own and live in a home hence they rarely purchase or invest in apartments.

On the other hand, foreign buyers who invest in a landed property will have a larger group of potential clients because of the local preference mentioned above. Moreover, if foreign investors encounter a rare piece of property that is Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) exempt which permits foreign investors to resell their property to other foreigners, it becomes exponentially easier for investors to exit from the investment.

Sanctuary Cove, Australia’s leading resort-style master planned community, contains some of the last remaining waterfront lots of land on the Northern Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia with direct access to the waterways of this stunning part of the country. Established in 1987, Sanctuary Cove was the first gated community in Australia and has since evolved into the country’s most iconic and successful residential estate and is now home to more than 3,000 residents. The concept of bespoke luxury is central to this project as buyers can choose their favorite plot of land and customize the design of the home; everything can be tailor-made to perfection.

Kingston Lai, CEO of the Asia Bankers Club states that “I truly believe that this is a rare investment opportunity for Hong Kong investors. The community of Sanctuary Cove is breathtaking and offers an unparalleled lifestyle proposition; combining quality residential product with world-class facilities, education options, and a plethora of lifestyle options. It offers the perfect combination of investment returns and personal enjoyment.”

The Hong Kong launch of Sanctuary Cove will take place on the 22 – 23 August 2015 in The Park Lane Hong Kong, 27/F, Park Lane Rooms IV – V, 310 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay.
