The popularity of Asia real estate - for both residential and/or purely investment purposes - is a function of strong regional economic growth and improved quality of living. Healy Consultants offers a broad range of services related to Asia real estate. The following is an overview of this important and growing sector:

1.

Asia real estate is good value compared with developed markets elsewhere in the world, and offers excellent prospects for high returns on investment.

Analysts believe Asia real estate is underpinned by financial liquidity, confidence in economic growth and healthy job markets.

4.

Despite concerns over the US subprime market, the Asia real estate market remains robust. For example, in the year 2009 in Singapore, prices of private residential properties continued to increase, says the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

Foreign investors in Asia real estate for residential purposes are attracted to the region's improving quality of living. For example, Mercer Human Resource Consulting ranks Singapore as the best place in the Asia Pacific in which to live (see its 2009 Quality of Living survey).

In addition to the traditionally strong Asia real estate markets of Singapore and Hong Kong, alternative markets are emerging. For example, Asia real estate observers believe the long-term prospects for property investment in Thailand are healthy. In Thailand, as across Asia, projects in luxury resorts are being built with foreign investors in mind.

Because cities such as Hong Kong and Singapore are leading global financial centres, a wide range of international mortgages are available to investors purchasing Asia real estate. Healy Consultants will assist our clients to locate a suitable regional bank offering a competitive, high class international mortgage.

Healy Consultants works with reliable, reputable Asia real estate companies who offer a professional service to our clients. This includes arranging property viewings, assisting with purchase negotiations and other related matters.

Investors buying Asia real estate may be liable to pay tax on residential property. Healy Consultants advises on all accounting and tax-related aspects of buying Asia real estate.

To support Asia real estate purchase, Healy Consultants assists clients to obtain employment and residence visas for themselves and their families across the continent. To help our clients familiarise themselves with the city to which they are moving, we provide tailored relocation packages, including assistance with schooling etc.
