Indian residents are increasingly looking for good realty investment opportunities abroad. Due to the downturn in the Indian real estate market, investors are exploring new avenues to invest. As per the recent wealth report of a reputed London based firm Knight Frank, India’s high net worth individuals are heavily investing in real estate in other countries; and their numbers have grown 290% in the last 10 years. Almost 50% of all India’s UHNWI & HNI have foreign real estate in their portfolios, which is highest in the world.
Indian residents are investing in international properties for capital appreciation, as a second home, rental earnings, student accommodation, retirement home or for residency/citizenship. Several international developers offer easy payment plans with low booking amounts as interest rates abroad are considerably lower than the rates prevailing in the Indian market which makes these deals more attractive. The stability of the Indian Rupee and relaxation of RBI rules that permit Indian residents to invest overseas have further created an investment climate favorable for international real estate.
Australia, UAE, UK & US are the preferred destinations for Indian property buyers, according to property analysts. The US, UK and UAE are closest to the hearts of most Indians intending to acquire property abroad. Some of the countries offer Citizenship through Investment. This makes these investments more attractive as one can get citizenship/residency in European Union or US on investing a fixed amount in real estate.
PARALLEL EVENTS:
Through this show, the Indian investors will be able to identify real estate investment opportunities and gain knowledge to make informed investment decisions. Coinciding with the event, an ‘IREX Investment Forum’ is being organized that will focus on various issues of real estate investment abroad. Real Estate Experts will be presenting and analyzing potential investment options and prospects. Project presentations will also form part of this informative forum where investors can gain insight to take informed investment decisions.
IREX will also host a seminar on ‘Citizenship through Investment’ where some of the participating companies from Cyprus and US will present opportunities of procuring residency permits and citizenship in these countries through property investment. Indians top the list of people seeking foreign citizenship. More than 130,000 people applied in 2015.
Another coinciding event of the show is ‘IREX Business Connect’ that brings Indian property brokers in touch with international property developers, so that they can work for them as their local sales agents/representatives in India. This opens new business avenues for the Indian property brokers and help them learn international trade practices besides ensuring year long sales for foreign developers through these agents.
