Experienced
overseas property buyers all know the positive
benefits a new airport can have on a region. Some
analysts state that property prices can rise by as
much as 25% when a location becomes more accessible.
Imagine as an investor how you would feel buying
property in an emerging market that has poor
communications. The news of the construction or
expansion of the airports would have you jumping for
joy. That is exactly what is taking place in China
today.
China is about to make property
investors very happy people. According to the China
Aviation Administration China (CAAC) Chinese airports
handled 240 million passengers in 2004. This is a rise
of 38.8% from the previous year. The CAAC estimate
that by 2010 Chinas airports will handle 500 million
passengers. China airports are set to handle this rise
in capacity with a series of expansion projects
already underway. Beijing Capital International
Airport is expanding with a third passenger terminal.
The brand new terminal will be finished before the
2008 Olympics and will be able to handle 60 million
passengers. Baiyun International Airport has already
received the Chinese expansion treatment. Shanghai's
Pudong airport is receiving a second terminal with
more planned in the future. The Xianyang International
Airport in Shaanxi has ambitious plans for a new
runway and terminal.
China investment property
Those who are considering investment
in the region must surely view these infrastructure
improvements in a positive light. The Chinese real
estate industry is about to boom. Foreign investors
are encouraged to invest in China and are protected by
law. The costs associated with buying property in
China are low at only 4.5%, much lower than many
European countries. Personal assets and properties are
recognised and protected by new Chinese law.
So where's there is noise there is
money!
Nicholas Marr is clearly an observer of life and
front row spectator of the events in the overseas
property market. His articles dare to challenge trend
of thought in this industry which is besieged by the
big boys. A lifetime property investor his UK based
company Marr International owns one of the fastest
growing overseas property websites in Europe. His
articles are informative and sometimes a bit
uncomfortable for some in his industry to read. What
ever the subject they will always be informative and
will hold your interest. Bravo to freedom of speech.
