Although property can be susceptible to economic fluctuations in the short term, with values rising rapidly in good times and dropping during recessions, in the long run it will always correct itself and its general movement over time will be upwards, especially as land resources become scarcer. This is why, in some places where development land is at a premium, it is the land that is worth more than the property that stands on it. A similar logic can be added to how raw materials work, but there is always a chance that new technologies can produce alternatives that suddenly render a particular material obsolete. As there is theoretically no limit to the number of companies and shares that can be traded and they can be here today and gone tomorrow, the stock exchange doesn't provide the long-term bricks and mortar security of real estate either. There can be a myriad of reasons for a company to stall or decline in profit and this makes the equity market risky, especially in times of uncertainty in all sectors. When investing, timing is of the utmost importance. We have all seen our fair share of recessions and booms, as well as how conditions in different asset classes and countries move at a different pace to one-another, claiming that judging the opportunities is key. Many occasions over the past 30 years there have been excellent times to invest in Property and equally there have been times when Property, as an asset class, it has been hard to find good opportunities. It is not always easy to dictate good timing especially when you are right in the middle of a recession, but recognizing patterns from the past enables you to spot the opportunities and pitfalls far quicker and more accurately. With the majority of his clients being mid to long term investors, he strongly believes that value for money is important. Experience has revealed that people buy property, especially holiday homes, when the market is buoyant and hyped up and they are therefore enthusiastic and optimistic, but that is when prices are rising quickly and options can be limited, but we have this infatuation with "keeping up with the Jones's" and so we follow the trend to buy. The ideal time to get the best value for money, and have a great Investment Property for the longer term (a term that can take you into your retirement and help with Pension provision) is when prices have reached their low-point and are starting their journey upwards again. If you think about it, does it not makes sense that we buy when no one else is buying, to actually be at the very beginning of the next boom. The conditions are now right to return to the property market, particularly in places like Southern Spain, along the Costas there may be some good properties to be found, but more so there are excellent opportunities elsewhere that are not aimed at the Holiday market, more at the long term, locally tenanted properties "Over the next two years, until the market moves back into a buoyant state, there is a window of opportunity to hand pick the best deals, the longer term projects at the right price, which is why we specialize in finding those opportunities that are not only well-priced but represent excellent value for money, entail a good story, ticks all our due diligence boxes and provides a secure future investment for our discerning Investors. It's a question of putting many years' experience to good use. The project of Los Pandos covers an area of 5000 hectares in the locality of Almansa in the Albacete province. Part of the larger region of Castilla la Mancha, Los Pandos, is within just one hour's drive of the airports of Alicante, Murcia and Valencia. Each also boasts a sea port with Valencia's being the second largest logistical port in Spain. There are train links from all three to Madrid and Almansa is also well connected by road with motorway links to all major towns and cities. Although present infrastructure is more than adequate for the development of Los Pandos, a high speed rail network - the AVE - is already underway. The central hub of the new rail connection, due for completion in the coming months, will be in Almansa. This superior transportation network will make Los Pandos one of the most important strategic and logistic platforms in Southern Europe. As the vineyard is undoubtedly the focal point of Los Pandos, initial investment and development is being directed into that area. Extensive studies have been undertaken and are ongoing, reformation of the existing farmhouse and other buildings will allow for the state of the art and experimanetal bodegas. Brands are in development and marketing strategies in place for taking Los Pandos vineyard firmly into the 21st century and creating a high quality, yet profitable wine business. As the project moves forward, plans for the development of eco-villages, leisiure facilities, technical and industrial zones, state of the Art sports facilities - all utilising the latest in sustainable development techniques - will come to fruition. So come with us on our journey of discovery, in building what we think will be the benchmark for sustainable living for centuries to come.
