Four Seasons Resort - where, why, how?

When you select a property abroad is of great importance by many factors. As a general rule, an apartment or house abroad are not the first, and often not even the main seat of the owners. Rarely when a buyer selects an object with only one for some purpose, not trying to look ahead and assess potential risks and benefits of such acquisition. It is therefore very important role played by the flexibility of the functional purpose of the future facility, its liquidity, and the potential profitability of the lease. And here pronounced such factors as seasonal attractiveness of a region. It's no secret that part of living an active life only in certain seasons - be it winter or summer. Be there in the off-season is not too comfortable with the fact that many of the infrastructure temporarily stop working. However, there are regions where you can safely go and have a great time, regardless of date. In this regard, the experts of "Miel - Distant Property Management» attractive offer analysis of the world's three largest all-season resorts - Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic, Baden-Baden in Germany, and the Dead Sea in Israel. These resorts are popular among Russians for many reasons - historical, geographical, economic. But the main thing that unites them - the availability and attractiveness to the public, regardless of the season. Not surprisingly, the Russians have already settled in these regions, and continue to actively explore. Not wanting to over and over again to spend considerable sums to rent rooms in hotels and apartments, more and more foreigners choose the option to purchase their own property all-season resorts. As noted by Natalia Zavalishin, General Director of "Miel-DPM»: «One of our fellow citizens to buy apartments and transports their parents worrying about their health and longevity. Someone uses the Four Seasons Resort accommodation on their own for regular visits. There are also many citizens who have every reason to see this property safe investment tool. Karlovy Vary - the biggest and most famous resort of the Czech Republic, famous for its mineral waters, nearby (120 km) from Prague at the confluence of two rivers - warm and Ohře in a picturesque valley surrounded by mountains. Among the indisputable advantages of this place is one thing, glorified resort in the world - unique mineral springs. The total number of sources in the city and surrounding area - 132. They differ with respect to temperature, carbon dioxide and minerals, and power. Water sources used for drinking, bathing and other procedures. It has a curative effect in the treatment of various diseases: normalizes the gastrointestinal tract, improves liver function, has anti-inflammatory effect. The mineral springs help to relieve stress, boost the immune system. No wonder the glory goes on sources that they act Rejuvenating. (I'd like to quote the words of Goethe, who first arrived in Carlsbad for treatment in 1795, wrote to his friend: "In any case, again go to Karlovy Vary, thank thence sources for what I feel born again.") Measured different town way of life. Even the local architecture adjusts to a special "anti-stress" way. The old houses, the town hall - all very similar to western Europe, but there is no pomposity, rigor. Real Estate in Carlsbad is very popular among Russians from ancient times. One of the attractions is a small but ornate "house of Peter," in which, according to local ideas, Peter I lived during his stay in the city. Later, many immigrants settled here, who fled from the revolution. They built a beautiful Orthodox church and several estates in the Russian style. Recently, Karlovy Vary is often called "Russian Vary." This is due to the fact that a significant portion of real estate in the resort town belongs to the Russian. Inscriptions in Russian there are almost no more frequently than in Czech, and among the staff hard to find an employee does not speak in Russian. Karlovy Vary has an international airport, so there can be driven as to the country, as the flight from Moscow takes about 3 hours. A 7-10 days stay at the resort is already sufficient for a noticeable improvement in health status. Karlovy Vary - very nice but rather expensive city. Therefore, there can not be called real estate cheap, even by Moscow standards. The natural landscape of Carlsbad city limits growth in width, basically all the real estate is concentrated in the river gorge Heat. New construction is almost non-existent. This leads to limited supply on the background of a stable high demand. Property prices in Karlovy Vary, directly depend on the area. In the suburbs of the resort price level is slightly lower than similar properties in the central part. "For example, a single apartment in a new complex on the outskirts of the resort is about 100 000 euros, and in the center of a similar apartment in the complex will cost 250 000 euros. Apartments in new complexes shall be fully decorated, with kitchenette and built-in wardrobes, "- said Natalia Zavalishin. According to her, real estate prices in the secondary, depending on the area can vary by 2.5-3 times. For example, a secondary bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Karlovy Vary, in the old house can be purchased for 60 000-80 000 euros and is located in the center, a renovated house, a secondary bedroom apartment will cost about 200 000 - 250 000. To rent single bed flat in the center may be 1000 euros per month, and on the outskirts of 350-500 euros. To take property for rent can be year-round, as in Karlovy Vary is no concept of seasonality observed in constant demand for real estate. Karlovy Vary - the city rich in cultural events and traditions. Accommodation at the resort will never be boring. The city is summer festival of opera and operetta, jazz festival, piano competitions, symphony concerts. Nature lovers will enjoy the nearby forest, where tracks are available equipped for hiking and cycling. For sports enthusiasts, in addition to standard playgrounds, Carlsbad offers a golf course, tennis courts, a winter skating and skiing. Plenty of parks and gardens, impressive architecture, the beauty of wildlife and wonderful climate make Carlsbad attractive place to live. At the same time, the apartment there may be a good investment of capital or a source of additional income from rental housing to rent. Among other similar resorts can be called the German Baden-Baden, located an hour's ride from the largest industrial center in Stuttgart, Germany, and very near the French border. Baden-Baden and Karlovy Vary are somewhat similar, but, nevertheless, they are completely different resorts. Also, like Carlsbad, Baden-Baden is famous for its healing waters, but this is more than "drinking" water, and thermal, ie baths or "terms", as they are called by tradition, which came from ancient Rome, intended primarily for bathing. That is why one of the most popular places in Baden-Baden are baths or "terms" Karakaly "as well as a variety of popular pools with thermal waters. Hotels in possession of such pools, readily granted the right to use them for everyone, regardless of their stay in this hotel. That is why all who bought real estate have the opportunity to enjoy year-round mineral water of Baden-Baden, and no matter where they live - in their own apartments or houses or villas. Despite the fact that Baden-Baden is famous imennotermalnymi waters, drinking pavilion there too. Because of the high quality spring water, in Baden-Baden are widely different anti-stress and beauty program, produced very high quality cosmetics, with a high oxygen content. The good effect in the overall therapy is achieved not only by the thermal water, but also through the purest of air, as Baden-Baden is almost surrounded by mountains, rich forests and completely devoid of any hazardous industries. So simple accommodation in Baden-Baden, even without taking into account the procedures markedly revitalizes the body. Its own airport, located 30 minutes from downtown, good infrastructure, plenty of shops, a theater, a rich cultural life - an abundance of festivals, contests and concerts, and of course, the very location of the Baden-Baden, defines it as an expensive city. The city center is one of the oldest and most famous casino in Europe, which still hang wall clock, described FM Dostoevsky's novel "The Gambler." That's why real estate in this city relatively expensive, but always in demand and liquidity. Given the fact that local banks are quite willing to give loans to its acquisition by non-residents, real estate is becoming much more accessible. The property is offered are different, ranging from small apartments - and ending with villas and castles with huge park areas. According to N. Zavalishin, - "a one bedroom apartment with an area of ​​60 sq m in the historic center, with sweeping views of forested mountains and castles can be bought for 170-180 thousand euros, while receiving 50% of this amount loan at 3.5-4% per annum. Apartments are offered mostly secondary, because construction in the resort city of almost non-existent, and only reconstructed and rebuilt the old house to save the unique architectural ensemble of the city. Flat area of ​​100 square meters. meters would cost in the 270-280 thousand euro, and townhouse 10 minutes from the center will cost in the range of 300 - 320 thousand euros. If you want to buy a villa with its own fleet, we have to prepare for a significant investment - depending on the location, area, size of fleet, etc. It will cost several million euros ". In Baden-Baden resident sufficiently significant number of Russians, many of them - well-known businessmen or members of their families, artists. Nevertheless, the Russian language there is not widespread, such as for example in Karlovy Vary, although this trend has emerged. For example, in many famous restaurants rather meet a menu in Russian than in English, on the tennis courts there was a welcome sign, "Welcome." In general, to stay in Baden-Baden until the necessary knowledge of one European language, preferably French or German, as France - in the immediate vicinity, and many come to Baden-Baden for a weekend, for a variety of activities, etc. Interestingly, even in schools after the German second language is French, and then English. "If the property is purchased from a purely investment purposes, then you can rent" - suggests N. Zavalishin. "In this case it is best to buy real estate in the heart, and there are attractive options when the house consists of 5-6 apartments, a private swimming pool and sauna. Estimated, we can say that an apartment valued at 200 thousand euros, corresponding to the location and level of finish, within 5 minutes from the center, you can take in about 800-1000 euros a month. " According to experts, this is a very average rates, which depend on many factors. In the same house two similar apartments can be quite different and some will be in demand, but some do not. Therefore, the acquisition is necessary to precisely understand the purpose of their purchase, and it is advisable to take advice of professionals. So, we looked at two all-season resort - with mineral water of Karlovy Vary thermal and Baden-Baden. There is another interesting and even the famous all-season resort located on the Dead Sea in Israel. To visit the Dead Sea resorts the best time is between seasons. In the region of real estate for sale is extremely rare, but having an apartment in Israel, to get there easily from almost any part of the country, ranging from the budget completely Arata, a small town an hour away from the Dead Sea, and ending with the fashionable Raanana, from which the sea three hours drive away. Healing properties of Dead Sea natural and cause no side effects. If properly treated, even the ten-day course leads to a cleaner and healthier skin, which lasts for quite a while. Here on the shores of the Dead Sea, the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun reduces the extra thickness of air layer, since the Dead Sea is 400 meters below sea level. So for those who like a smooth bronze tan Dead Sea - the perfect place. An additional filter is used and the moisture from evaporating from the surface of the water. By the way, thanks to intense evaporation, the concentration of salt in one liter of sea water close to 30%. Evaporation of water leads also to the fact that the air is saturated with oxygen ions and bromine, which, given the high purity of the air, a positive effect on the nervous system, improves mood and helps get rid of some forms of allergy. Those who suffer from diseases of the joints, very dry and stay warm climate Dead Sea will bring relief, but if we add the curative mud and mineral water pools, then the treatment will be much more efficient. Besides the treatment directly on the Dead Sea, Israel offers many more options to improve their health. Israeli medicine, in law, is one of the leading places in the world for the quality and level of care. It's no secret that real estate in Israel is very popular among Russians, not only in connection with the prospects of emigration, but also for regular rest and recreation, as well as a promising investment instrument. In the "Miel-DPM» note that Israel's real estate market is very diverse, the investor can be found here at the offer price range varying from elite areas of Tel Aviv, Rishon Lezion, and Ra'anana, - to a much more budget options in Beer-Sheva, Ashkelon or Ashdod. It is therefore very difficult to derive the average price index for the country. "Our proposals have duplex in the exclusive district of Tel Aviv for 3.5 million euros, and for comparison - very elegant duplex in a new building in the city of Eilat for 295 000 euros. In Haifa, the best of circumstances, and the assistance of qualified consultants can be found in the secondary market a small two-bedroom apartment cost about $ 100 000. In Jerusalem, in respectable neighborhoods, of course, the real estate will cost a bit more expensive, "says N. Zavalishin. In Israel, a very varied offer of villas. Depending on the region's location and the whole complex of factors, the price of a decent pool villas start at 1.2 million euros, and one of the most expensive proposals in the Israeli market to date - a villa in a suburb of Tel Aviv for 17 million euros. According to Natalia Zavalishin - "Ironically, amid a general decline of world prices, real estate in Tel Aviv, went up to the end of 2008 by 11% in Jerusalem - 11.6% It is important to note that in the whole country a sharp fall in prices could not be avoided. In the Haifa region, this decline was an average of 10.4% in the south - 7.6%. Rents across the country are low, and bring the order of 5% per annum, although much depends on the demand for rental properties in a particular region. " Dead Sea resorts are particularly attractive to the Russians, given visa-free entry regime and the almost universal use of the Russian language. Except medicinal properties, these resorts are very nice mild climate that allows literally pass from winter to summer during the flight.
