when i saw australia property start advertised here in msia last year...... i felt the market there is slowing down
when i see england proerty is advertising in msia now, i felt the same....

mayb hong kong is good time to go in, since they never need to advertise here....  :Laughing_on_floor:
i believe they dont even need to advertise in mainland.... bcoz all the rich men from north are there in hk

HK properties are freaking expensive now. Not the right time to buy now. Rental yield is less than 3% at the moment. Not to mention low margin rate of borrowing from banks.

We acquired only one lot in Melbourne; few lots in London. No experience in HK, coz' over-inflated bubble by the main-landers.

Slow, but steady appreciation in Melbourne; Greater margin of capital appreciation in London. Both location ROI >6%. Only snack is the low 50-60% BTL mortgage facilities at both places! :Cheers:

Actually, the local agent can check the transacted property too but not the latest transaction la. Cos the land office will update the transaction only 6 months or sometimes 1 yr later  :Confused:
Even when checking with bank, you couldn't get actual transacted price.  :HammerHead:

About overseas property, it's depend from country to country about the local law, bank loan, exchange rate, etc etc.
Recently, there is more promotion here on Australian and U.K. properties because of more Malaysian migrating, sending their kids studying there and for investment. The Australian and U.K. gov realize that the Asian ppl are the richest at this moment, so they just follow the wind and came to Asia (including Malaysia) to promote their properties.
For those who are planning to sent their children to Australia or U.K. in future, please do buy now(still consider cheap/reasonable).
1) Imagine, before your children studying over there, you can earn 6%-8% ROI.
2) When they are studying there, you have less headache finding a place for them (it is not as easy as finding a place like Malaysia) and save rental cost.
3) And when they graduated and have no plan to stay there, you can sell and earn back(sometime more) what you are paying for their education and of course your capital.
At this moment you are only allow to sell your property back to Australian.
Will update more U.K. properties next time.

1.Transaction price is recorded at JPPH (Jabatan Penilaian & Pengurusan Harta), they produce market report on supply, demand and transacted price quarterly, you can download it online or buy the hard copy at all of their branch. specific location transaction can be purchased as well.... the yearly property market report is popular!
2. Land office job is to register the transaction, or you can say it is recording the new owner name to the title in this case, 1 day to present the 14A form, so i do not understand why you say it take 6 months to one yr.
- i believe your commend is on the transaction process instead of land office registration process!

For australia property, can only sell back to australian, rpgt can up to 40 or 50%, do take note on this for those who want to invest there,

while for UK maybe is a better choice cause no property gain tax, buy today sell tomorrow also no tax, no tax on rental income up to 7500pound if not mistaken, your expenses to visit the property there can be treated as expenses and tax deductible(provided have many property there and generate more than 7500 pound income), can sell to anyone anytime.....

just share from my understanding, anything wrong please correct it...

I tried to do some research on invest in oversea properties with cost less. And the result, homes and apartments in African countries such as Madagascar, Jordan and Ivory Coast are cheaper.

Surely, but long-term, travelling expenses as well as maintenance can always kill us in the pocket.

Belgium is good to invest in property- the market is growing, quality of construction is very good, ROI about 8/9pct, tax free resale profit - high demand in Brussels for EU/NATO staff…

looking into Phuket - there seems to be a constant flow of Russian and Chinese visitors who stay long-term.

i'm made to understand that foreigners can't own property in Thailand? apparently need to start a company of which 51% ownership must be a Thai - can anyone confirm?
