Properties vary from individual residential homes to tourism properties. Other buildings on offer on the day will be commercial premises, 5 star hotels, part or whole developments. The event will showcase one-off deals not available anywhere else. Figures are strictly ‘off market’ and not listed publicly with the seminar itself by appointment only. However we can report that many of the properties are already 40% below the current market valuations with even further discount likely to be offered to serious investors.

Investors can take advantage of up to 75% finance and a twelve month payment holiday, creating a fantastic opportunity for individuals to invest in unique property.

Fernando Rodríguez Palmero, International Director of Bancaja Habitat commented: “The seminar is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy repossessed properties of this magnitude direct from the bank. With the prices below the estimated market valuations it offers a great chance to invest in secure properties with instant equities and lengthy finance options.”

To reserve a place at the seminar or book an appointment, contact the event’s official sales agent Select Property on 04 446 2757 or email Bankdisposal@selectproperty.com. Places are limited and are on a first come first serve basis.

Your specified weeks are shown on your purchase agreement.

You can view a copy of the resort calendar from this page, showing which dates your weeks fall on. In accordance with the Rules, you can occupy your property from 4pm on the first day and up to 10am on the last day of your weeks.

Can I book my flights now?

Yes, provided you are up to date on any payments under your purchase agreement, including this year’s maintenance fees, you can make travel plans. You must complete and return the booking form at least 7 days before your arrival date.. We would recommend that all owners wait for their booking to be confirmed before confirming their travel, no compensation will be offered for any members who book flights and are unable to stay at the resort because they have not complied with their purchase agreement or the Rules.

What if I can’t use my weeks this year?

You can allow any friends or family to use your weeks, or you can rent out your weeks in the property externally. In any of these events, you still need to submit the booking form so that we know who will be using your weeks and when they will be arriving.

As you know the resort is affiliated to the RCI global exchange network allowing you to exchange your weeks for time in any of their other resorts and accommodation at other times of the year as well (subject to the relevant exchange fees). Having completed the procedures to set-up the resort on RCI’s systems towards the end of last year, enrolments will commence in time for the start of year two giving every owner the best chance of trying out this service. More information about how to exchange your weeks will be sent to you directly by RCI in due course.

When do I have to pay the first year’s maintenance fees?

All members have to pay their first year’s maintenance charge in advance, regardless of when their weeks actually fall in the year. This is because many of the costs covered by the service charge are also payable in advance. You must pay the maintenance charge even if you do not use your weeks.
You should receive a payment reminder for each year’s fees before they fall due, however please contact us if you are unsure how to pay or what the amount is.

Is there anything else I have to pay?

You can choose to pay for certain additional optional services such as an airport transfer, which we recommend for your first visit, direct to Signature Resorts. Please see the booking form for more information, or speak to their on-site team when you are at the resort. You will also have to pay for any damage or breakages during your stay before you check out.

When will we receive our fractional ownership certificate?

In accordance with the scheme terms, fractional ownership certificates will be issued to owners once they have paid the purchase price in full and the title to the properties has been registered in the name of the owning company. We will keep all owners updated on registration of title deeds in the name of the owning company. Until that time owners are still able to enjoy all their ownership rights and use their weeks under the terms of their purchase agreement.

Who do I need to tell if my contact details have changed?

Please contact us as soon as possible if any of your contact details have changed from the purchase agreement so that we can be sure you will receive any important information we send to members. We recommend that you contact us by email to info@wearehome.com or by telephone on 0800 111 6789

How can I change the ownership details for my weeks?

You can transfer ownership at any time by sale or gift, or you can add or remove names to the purchase agreement and fractional ownership certificate. There is an administration fee payable (currently £149) to Tatton Trustees for any ownership changes. Please notify us by email to info@wearehome.com or by telephone on 0800 111 6789 if you want to change the ownership details of your weeks.

We have put together a gallery of pictures so that you can share them to friends, family and anyone who might be thinking of using your weeks in the scheme. You can access the gallery here.

We will add further pictures of the building and the apartments over time as we receive them, please also send us your own shots from your visit if you are happy for us to share them with other owners.
(Please note that these images are being made available for the personal interest of owners in this scheme and should not be used commercially without reference to the rightful copyright owner.)

What facilities and amenities are there in the apartment and building?

The apartments are fully furnished including a sofa-bed, washing machine, television and DVD player, oven, hob and microwave, and most standard kitchen utensils, hairdryer, ironing board and iron. The rooms are cleaned and linen changed weekly. The building has 24 hour concierge and security. Within the building residents can use the outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, and a fully equipped gym. Each apartment also has one car parking space.

How many people can the apartments accommodate?

Each apartment has a sofa bed, therefore a one bedroom apartment can accommodate four people and a two bedroom apartment can sleep six. In the interests of health and safety and out of consideration for other owners, the management company will refuse to check-in parties which include more people than the apartments can comfortably accommodate.

When are my weeks this year?

Your specified weeks are shown on your purchase agreement.

You can view a copy of the resort calendar from this page, showing which dates your weeks fall on. Please make sure you are looking at the right year column as the exact dates vary from year to year. All specified weekly periods begin and end on a Saturday, in accordance with the Rules of Occupation, you can occupy your property from 4pm on the first day and up to 10am on the last day of your weeks.

How do I book to stay in my apartment for my weeks?

You need to submit a booking form to confirm the details of the people who will be using your apartment and their arrival and departure dates. The booking form can be downloaded from this page and, once complete, should be sent to our local service partner Howdra by email – concierge@howdra.ae or by fax to 00971 4 2380084. We strongly advise that you do not confirm your flight booking until you have received confirmation of your booking in the apartment.

What do I need to do before arrival?

You will need to submit a booking form (which you can download from this page) and send passport copies for the people who will be staying in the apartment during your weeks. Your booking will only be confirmed if you are up-to-date with payments, including your maintenance charge for the relevant year.

What if I can’t use my weeks this year?

You can allow any friends or family to use your weeks or offer your weeks for rent, either privately or through our own channels using third-party booking agents. In any of these events, a booking must still be arranged using the standard booking form in the same way.

If you are planning on exchanging your weeks using your membership to Interval International, you should contact them directly. Most of their membership services are accessed through their website at www.intervalworld.com, alternatively you can call them on 0844 701 4444

When do I have to pay the first year’s maintenance fees?

All members have to pay their maintenance fees in advance each year, regardless of when their weeks actually fall in the year. This is because many of the costs covered by the service charge are also payable in advance. You must pay the maintenance charge even if you do not use your weeks.

You should already have received a payment reminder for your maintenance fees in 2012, however please contact us if you are unsure how to pay or what the amount is.

Is there anything else I have to pay?

There may be optional services available to you from the management company during your stay, including airport transfers, laundry and shopping, which are chargeable separately. You will also have to pay for any damage or breakages during your stay before you check out.

When will we receive our fractional ownership certificate?

Under the scheme terms fractional ownership certificates can only be issued once the title deeds to the properties have been issued to the owning company. The title deeds have now been issued – somewhat later than expected after completion of the building. Once the original deeds have been received, checked and safely archived by the scheme trustee, they will issue an ownership certificate to everyone on the members’ register. Until that time owners are still able to enjoy all their ownership rights and use their weeks under the terms of their purchase agreement.

Who do I need to tell if my contact details have changed?

Please contact us as soon as possible if any of your contact details have changed from the purchase agreement so that we can be sure you will receive any important information we send to members. We recommend that you contact us by email to premierproperty@selectproperty.com or by telephone on 0161 488 3560. There is an admin charge payable to the trustee to update their register of members and to reissue ownership certificates, if required.

How can I change the ownership details for my weeks?

You can transfer ownership at any time by sale or gift, or you can add or remove names to the purchase agreement and fractional ownership certificate. There is an administration fee payable to the trustee for any such changes. Please contact us if you want to change the ownership details of your weeks so we can send you the necessary form to complete.

But the questions I am asking myself over and over again at the moment are these; what are developers and sales agents offering that’s different? How have they changed in response to the changing needs of the market? What are the attributes that differentiate the credible specialists from the cowboys trying to make a quick buck in a beauty pageant like a holiday home expo?
And I’m often left struggling for answers..

It’s staggers me to still see advertising almost every day offering ‘guaranteed returns’ that outstrip anything else the market has to offer, and marketers aggressively pushing short-term opportunities that look like nothing more than property paradise ponzi schemes.

I thought members of the buying public would have learned by now that ownership of any old property in any old country is not the closest thing to free money they can get, as many clearly had thought over the middle part of the last decade. As one investor told me once, “the property market in a global capitalist economy is just an organised system for transferring wealth from stupid people to smart people”! If the last two years have done nothing else they should at least have inoculated holiday home owners and landlords against the thinking that market diligence and financial planning was for wimps.

From a quick straw poll of some of my friends and associates in the industry, most shared the opinion that interest levels at the ‘APITS’ show were strongest for the territories that have seen the greatest severity of political or economic turmoil in the recent period: Egypt and Thailand have both been the subject of social and political revolution at the hands of their citizens. There’s Spain and Portugal, with their recently down-graded credit ratings having staved off EU bail-outs with bond issues. And the US, where the markets have shown their continuing vulnerability to global events following the crisis in Japan.

Maybe I’m underestimating buyers though, because what this tells me is that people are learning that opportunity is created not simply by the existence of a global property market, but by movements in that market. What attracts people more than anything to a particular destination or type of property investment is any compelling event that causes market movement. That could be a sudden influx of new people or capital, the promise of security or prosperity that previously wasn’t possible, the (re)introduction of credit, a shift in currency value even, or any number of other factors that we read about in the news every day at the moment.

Last week I wrote about Dubai, and it has come as no surprise to me to since then to see a steady flow of positive news from the emirates; a safe harbour in the Middle East with a moderate political outlook, an international business and resident population, and a strong grip on the oil markets with prices predicted to reach $200 a barrel! All good stimulus for property enquiries…

However, I still believe there’s a growing immunity to slick campaigns using seductive advertising. Buyers need more than that. They want to know the credentials of the people they are dealing with. They want to share information and experiences with other like-minded individuals. They want people like us to personalise opportunities to be more relevant to them, and to collaborate better with partners in our space. All these things we can and are doing to change our market going forwards, and I believe this is where the realisation of the benefits that great companies can offer will be most apparent.

I’m always happy to meet with our customers or other interested parties wherever I can get to – please feel free to contact me if you want to pick my brains, or even pick an argument about something that’s happening in our industry.. It’s not a question of simply telling people what might happen, but being part of the discussion that is already happening, about the markets in which we are all participants with a vested interest.

I look forward to hearing more from you.

UAE investment of $62bn by 2012 in entertainment Selectproperty.com Office 803 - Concord Tower, Tecom, Dubai Media City United Arab Emirates Dubai Office: +971 4 446 2756 UAE fax: 971 4 440 4849 UK Office: +44(0) 161 488 3555

Well known finance man Stephen Blank FCA, 56, has joined fast growing overseas property investment and development group, Select Property, in a senior board position. Stephen, a former partner in Binder Hamlyn and FD at Swinton Insurance, joins from Generis Technology Limited.

In its four years of operation, Select has built a national reputation for offering high yield investments in areas including Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah and Turkey.
The Cheshire based group, which by May 2008 had sold over £550 million worth of property since its inception and has £1.5bn in overseas property in the pipeline, has appointed Stephen to the newly created role of ‘Group Planning and Finance Director’. He will report directly to CEO Mark Stott.

The group is experiencing explosive growth and Stephen will be responsible for implementing forward looking financial systems to ensure resources continue to keep pace. The role encompasses overseeing the planning function of each of the group’s divisions as well as liaison with key financial stakeholders.

Mark Stott comments: “This is another key appointment in the strategic development of a talented, six strong, board to help the company continue to expand rapidly. Stephen’s track record is second to none and he brings a wealth of valuable knowledge at a crucial time as we expand the business into new exciting areas.

“We’re currently bucking the economic doom and gloom scenario with strong sales and our forecast continues to look extremely promising. We have a global customer base with clients in 53 countries and our UAE property is performing particularly well. We are much less exposed than companies investing in Britain or who have a large British or US customer base”

Stephen Blank adds: “After assisting in the successful sale of my last business, a legal contact alerted me to this opportunity. I subsequently looked at the business and its strong performance, spoke in depth with Mark about his future plans and quickly decided this was just too good an opportunity to pass up. The recent appointment of Mike Hutchins, formerly Managing Director of Retail Banking at RBS, as Non Executive Chairman, was also pivotal to my decision.

“The business is moving into a number of parallel business streams, all of which need controlling, supporting and encouraging. The group has also moved from pure property sales into development and sales. While this presents greater challenges financially it also gives the opportunity for significantly higher returns.

“This is an incredible fast growing and profitable company and from what I’ve seen, owes a great deal of its success to outstanding customer service and efficiency”.

A naturally beautiful country, Ras Al Khaimah boasts the longest coastline of all the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is arguably the most scenic with miles of untouched white sand, lush green landscapes and striking mountain ranges. Add to this impressive investment benefits including rising rental yields, a projected capital appreciation of over 20% in 2008 and more importantly its close proximity to Dubai (just 45 minutes) its easy to see how this Emirate is becoming attractive to commuters wanting a beach life or a weekend retreat, and to the overseas holiday market alike.

Luxury housing is available at affordable prices – some 60% cheaper than Dubai comparables, and, together with the ruling Sheik’s commitment to developing the region and attracting inward investment, including existing procedures to sell freehold title ownership, it has great potential for capital gains and rental returns. What makes the development even more attractive is that Select Property is offering 15 year non status payment plans and the security of an escrow account.

Pacific is Select Property’s first development and is being constructed jointly with Select Group. The two companies have enjoyed success in the past with Select Property exclusively marketing and selling four off-plan developments for Select Group, including Dubai Marina’s centrepiece Bay Central, the iconic super tower – The Torch, The Point, and Botanica, the only residential development with a sky garden.

“This is an incredibly exciting time for Select Property. Pacific is the first of two projects, totaling £368million, we are developing on Al Marjan Island.”, comments Mark Stott, managing director, Select Property.

“Ras Al Khaimah and in particular Al Marjan Island is the perfect location for our inaugural development, representing fantastic opportunities to multiple profiles of purchasers”, he continues.

With starting prices from £57,399 (€72,991/AED 421,888) for a studio, Pacific is already generating huge interest, with one and two bedroom apartments, town houses and Gulf Suites also available. Due for completion in June 2011 the development consists of six contemporary, architecturally spectacular buildings, each named after Pacific Islands – the first three to be launched being Samoa, Tonga and Fiji.

Pacific is situated in a prime location on Al Marjan island, offering residents private beaches overlooking the clear waters of the Arabian Sea and year-round sunshine. Facilities include 24-hour security, maid service, saunas, steam rooms and Jacuzzis a glass topped gym and health club. There is also countless dining and shopping facilities, all of which are in keeping with the tone of the island which has a all-together more laid back feel than neighbouring Dubai.

Al Marjan Island is the first man made Island in Ras Al Khaimah. It has been built with best practice learning from successful schemes in neighbouring Emirate Dubai – the first of which, The Palm Jumeriah has witnessed a massive 500% increase in prices since 2002. Al Marjan master developer Rakeen, has incorporated the most environmentally friendly practices during the islands construction using natural rock to attract coral life instead of ‘hostile dredging’. This process positively encourages the formation of natural reef, establishing a long-term aquatic paradise.

Located in Akfirat, on the East side of Istanbul, F2 includes 2 bedroom penthouse duplexes from £120,210, 2 bedroom garden duplexes from £127,196, and 3 storey 4 bedroom townhouses from £159,940. Leisure facilities will include tennis courts, a fitness centre, swimming pool and restaurants. Select Property are offering a flexible payment plan whereby purchasers pay 20% on contract, 20% in February 2008, 20% in January 2009 and 40% on completion.

According to Mark Stott, Managing Director of Select Property, F2 ticks all the boxes as an attractive proposition for property investors. He commented:

“Istanbul was voted the number 1 city for development prospects in a recent Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers survey for best development prospects, beating 26 other European markets. It is also the European capital of culture for 2010 which will undoubtedly raise awareness and attract further investment.

“In terms of F2, while the West side of the city is already well-developed the East side isn’t. As a result property prices are currently 50% cheaper. But the area is definitely on the up. Multinational companies are moving in, there is superior urban planning, greater spaces, and better infrastructure since Turkish planners don’t want to repeat some of the mistakes made when developing the West side. All of which endorses the capital growth cited in the independent financial report carried out on F2.”

As well as high capital appreciation, Select Property is confident that its customers will benefit from a strong resale market since 70% of Istanbul’s population are young professionals (30years old) who work on the west side but can’t afford to buy there.

Stott commented: “Since F2 is only a 35minute commute to the West, and the property is cheaper, it will undoubtedly appeal to the young professional who cannot afford to buy in the West. Of course there is also the added attraction that they will be able to generate additional income by renting the property out for a few weeks every summer when Formula1 comes to town.”

F2 is being constructed by Turkish company CE Yapi.

This prestigious Dubai Marina development benefits from one of the most innovative residential designs in Dubai, with every single apartment in this luxury Dubai property benefiting from direct marina views. Situated at the widest point on Dubai Marina opposite the Dubai Yacht club it is little wonder that interest in this development has been widespread, and coupled with Dubai Select Non-status payment plan it little wonder that availability of particular units is now limited.

Not only will it be a great opportunity to explore this product in more detail and to view the architectural models but this will also be an opportunity to meet with the Dubai Select Property experts and to discuss any details or queries you may have regarding purchasing Dubai Property.

Dubai Select property will be showing on Stands 100 & 106 of the ICC Birmingham from 10:30 to 18:00 on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th of October.

Also showing at the Dubai Property show in Birmingham will be Dubai Select’s unique fractional ownership scheme.

A first for Dubai, the company is the only developer currently offering such a scheme, which enables purchasers to buy a portion of the company’s freehold properties in Dubai. Customers are able to buy the fully furnished luxury serviced Dubai property in 2 week increments, which when sold will see them receive their percentage of the value of the property at that time.

It is ideal for those investors who want to have their own freehold Dubai property but who can’t commit to tying up all of their money in outright ownership. It is the ideal stepping stone for those investors who want to test the water.

For more information on this unique Dubai Property scheme please visit us this weekend at the Dubai Property Show at the ICC, Birmingham or contact the Dubai Select fractional ownership team directly on 0870 428 3803.

12th July 2006: Dubai Select, the UK’s leading authority on buying property in Dubai for investment purposes, has today announced the launch of a part ownership scheme which enables customers to buy a portion of the company’s freehold apartments in Dubai, from just £6,999. Investors are able to purchase the fully furnished luxury accommodation in 2 week increments which, when sold, will see them receive their share of the total value of the property – a sum which should not only cover their initial investment but should also generate a profit as Dubai property prices rise.

In addition to using the accommodation for holidays -while generating a profit- customers are able to exchange their allocated 2 weeks for other global destinations. Through its membership of the Interval Quality Vacation Exchange Network, a vacation exchange network run by Interval International, Dubai Select’s Fractional Ownership customers can swap their 2 weeks in Dubai for a comparable property in over 2000 resorts in 75 countries. The exchange process works on a supply and demand basis, together with other factors such as quality and unit size. This is good news for Dubai Select customers as Interval anticipates that Dubai will be a highly demanded area within their network.

Commenting on the introduction of the scheme, Mark Stott, Managing Director, Dubai Select: “Fractional Ownership provides an alternative investment option. It is ideal for those purchasers who want to have their own freehold property in the sun but who can’t commit to tying up all of their money in outright ownership of a property.

“It also provides the ideal stepping stone for property investors who want to test ownership in Dubai, and as an added bonus they get to spend 2 weeks of the year in the sunshine without the usual holiday costs.”

The company is introducing the scheme into a number of its developments, with each apartment broken down into 25 x 2 week units, with 2 weeks reserved by Dubai Select for maintenance to ensure the property remains at a high standard. The units are purchased for a period of 15 years, with the price varying slightly depending on the season. As each portion of the apartment is sold the funds will be held in escrow by Hutchinson & Co Trust Company Ltd, and will only be released when the property is built and the occupancy rights are under the control of the Trustee. Hutchinson & Co Trust company Ltd is a specialist trustee and stakeholder company within the Vacation Ownership Industry. It will
hold the property in trust for a period of 15 years, after which it will be sold and the net sales proceeds distributed to purchasers accordingly.

Mike Bridge, Regional Sales Director of DSL Exhibitions comments, “This will be the first time that well known Dubai agents and developers will be showing en masse, exclusively under one roof in an Irish venue. Dubai has become the fastest growing city in the world and a world class destination for business and tourism. Aer Lingus has recently announced that it will begin direct flights from Dublin to Dubai from March 28th. This is likely to spark a further influx of Irish investors to the Emirate, which has already proved a very popular destination since the market opened up three years ago. Huge investment has been ploughed into Dubai and it is constantly introducing world class projects in a city that offers unlimited opportunities, strong population growth, high rental returns and new real estate laws designed to protect the investor, expected to be announced in the immediate future.

The new law which will combine the features of both 99 year renewable lease and freehold rights in selected locations will accelerate the already rapid real estate growth. Dubai’s plans include a mega theme park twice the size of Disney World Florida, Mall of Arabia – the worlds biggest shopping mall, the Restless Planet – housing over 150 animatronic dinosaurs and even an indoor ski slope in the desert, will create a first class resort atmosphere for holidays in the region.”

The real estate sector in Dubai is outstanding in its diversity. There is an array of projects being built which are without a doubt, the best in the world. Prices compared with other international resorts are still very competitive, with studio apartments starting from as little as £45,000 and villas from only £200,000. Dubai has become one of the most exciting investment destinations in the world at the moment.

At the Dubai Property Show in March, visitors will be able to see for themselves the abundant lifestyle opportunities available in the city, as well as meet experts with all the information about living and buying real estate in the UAE. This will be an event that consumers cannot afford to miss, bringing Dubai to Ireland for the very first time.”

The exhibition will be held at the RDS Irish International Exhibition and Convention Centre, Dublin which will be open daily on Friday 24th from 12.00 – 18.00pm, and Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th March from 10.30am -18.00pm. Entry is free so please feel free to visit us at stand no 64.
