Exceptional investment opportunities

In addition to building projects themselves, Hanroc also offer some non project property for sale. Our knowledge of the local markets we work in is deep; our connections excellent. This enables us to come across opportunities not commonly available.

We seek exceptional value and potential across the world. Property that has been vetted to provide a solid and lucrative investment. You won't find a load of properties in this section; only a very few, very special offers.

America

Want to help yourself to free American government money? Without robbing a Bank! Well, that's the opportunity with buying the right foreclosed property in America at present. Billions have been poured in the top of the likes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, government owned housing corporations, subsidising the disposal of good property at a fraction of market price. No other country could afford to do this!

Frankly, it's the economics of the madhouse, but a phenomenal opportunity to acquire way below market value property assets in a mature market.

Hanroc have set up a subsidiary operation in that country who have been researching the opportunity for months and now can offer debt free, clean title on freehold property there. Location of property has been selected to offer a balance of the biggest price falls with the strongest local rental market.

The following properties are available for purchase now. Purchase cost only $500. No hidden charges.

Bulgaria

Like most East European countries, Bulgaria has taken a cold bath economically over the past 18 months. After throwing money at developers for the previous few years, the Bankers now sit on their hands and have stopped the flow of credit and raised interest rates.

Not surprisingly, this has hit property prices, particularly of off plan and new build. However, there is an argument that this restriction of credit happened at quite a good time for Bulgaria. The property market there was starting to overheat in 2006, early 2007, with a spread of poor quality developments threatening parts of the coastline in particular. There was the danger of the place been "costarised", with long term damage to tourist appeal. A pity as the Bulgarian coastline is particularly beautiful. Now, much more thought is put into developments and local authorities have more time to review the situation and enact coastal protective measures.

We tip Bulgaria as an excellent medium and longer term tourist destination. Summer is a bit on the short side, but set against that is a very attractive and welcoming environment for tourists and retirees, and a low cost of living. Our advice to investors would be to act now and pick up bargain basement property, as below:

Apartment 309 Eagle Rock mountain resort.

This is probably the best apartment in our Eagle Rock development, near Borovets in Bulgaria, which sold out a couple of years ago.

It is a maisonette over 3 floors, totally 136 m2 (incl common area), with the unique feature of having the private tower as in picture above left.

The vendor is "motivated" and willing to sell for half the purchase price of 3 years ago. For 75,000 Euros. As VAT is chargeable, the vendor is willing to go 50/50 on this, which means the purchaser will only have to pay 10%.

Ukraine

If Bulgaria has taken a cold bath, Ukraine has taken even more harsh medicine. Interest rates went as high as 30% to 40%, forcing rapid bankruptcies among developers and hardship for private borrowers. As demand for steel, which is the country's main export tanked, unemployment has risen and wage rate fallen by as much as 40%!

In many other countries, such conditions would produce bloodshed on the street. Not Ukraine. Remarkably, this country is coping with a stoicism that can only come from a history that has seen much harsher. Now, interest rates are moderating and there are signs of a bottoming of property price falls. What falls severely, rises quicker. No huge UK or USA bail-out schemes here to add massive debt.

Politics in the country continues to bump along its uncertain road, but like Italy, actual business gets done below the official facade. Ukraine is a well educated, strategically important country, with one of the world's biggest agri-business potentials and a strong entrepreneurial streak. An aging population is also likely to dampen political instability, as there's a strong correlation between youth and disorder societies.

In short, time to buy.

New airport for sale

It's not everywhere you will find a complete new airport, in a strategically important location in the "New Europe". In fact, you won't find this offer anywhere else as it's come from Hanroc's excellent connections in Ukraine and is only available though our sales agents, Foreign Property Shop.

In brief, properties of over 200 hectares, including an ex military airfield have been secured within a holding company, which is for sale for 4 million USD or pro rata according to size of share purchase.

Expect another 12 to 15 million on roads and other infrastructure.

Close to important city and is designed to offer freight and passenger services. All in all, it looks a fabulous opportunity for the larger investor. Our advice to the would be investor, keep the sellers in on a minor shareholding as they will be very useful in seeing the project through to completion.

Two factories

2 factories for sale by same owner in South Western Ukraine, near Poland and town of 40,000 non EU very low cost workers ($45 a week and easy firing). One of best places to manufacture cheaply for export to EU.

One factory produced ceramics, and now needs a complete overhaul. Private railway connection a big plus point as this costs a small fortune to connect if not already available, and permit problems. 2.3 million USD asking price.

Second one produces parquet flooring and has a good range of functional machines, and has onsite drying kilns. All in working order, but old fashioned product line is struggling got sell. Good opening for modernisation. 1.5 million USD asking price.

Both factories are on large sites with good road connections (and rail with ceramic one).
