Cape Verde
New global property and holiday hotspot

Cape Verde is the new global property and holiday hotspot, and a star investment opportunity for growth, rental or resale. A stunning mid-Atlantic tropical paradise just five and a half hours from the UK, it’s fast becoming the Caribbean for Europe – minus the jet lag.

So with fast and convenient access, and all the attractions of a unique tropical paradise, Cape Verde offers unparalleled potential as an investment opportunity for growth, rental or resale.

Sal Island
The jewel in the Cape Verde crown

The island of Sal - the most popular and developed in the Cape Verde archipelago - is well on its way to becoming one of the world’s top tourist destinations.

Regular flights from the UK to Sal’s established international airport whisk holidaymakers in only a few hours to crystal clear seas, endless white beaches, adventurous water sports and great night life.

Just 30km long and 12km wide, Sal is a jewel of a tropical island. The charming town of Santa Maria at its southernmost tip is the main tourist resort, with beachside restaurants, fascinating shops, a lovely town square, and local musicians playing
Cape Verdean classics. Other attractions include the town of Espargos with its variety of shops, bars and restaurants, the salt flats of Pedra de Lume and the port town of Palmeria.

Sal is at the very heart of the investment excitement, which surrounds Cape Verde. The government is investing significantly in creating a modern, world class tourist destination. And with its rapidly developing local infrastructure, growing number of scheduled flights, increasingly sophisticated tourist facilities, five star hotel, two new golf courses designed by Ernie Els, and plans for an upmarket marina, major tour operators are already looking for more and more rental stock. Its unique combination of natural and developmental benefits makes Sal the definitive choice over all its island neighbours – and there’s never been a better time or opportunity to invest.

WHY SIPPS

It’s simple!

Investing in a Dunas Beach property has never been easier and now you can fund your purchase through your pension using a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) or FPT (Family Pension Trust. This not only offers incredible tax advantages but also puts you in control of how your pension is invested in the future.

And the process is much easier than you may think! Pearl Overseas Properties have partnered wit The Resort Group PLC and one of the UK’s leading pension and investments experts to give you the professional advice you need and to help guide you through your options.

They will deal with transferring any “frozen” pensions from previous employment or businesses and/or funds from other personal pensions. All you have to do is select the property you want in your pension fund.

Contributions into a SIPP attract relief an individual’s highest rate of tax. So, for a higher rate taxpayer, putting £60,000into their fund would give buying power of £100,000 to invest in a prime resort property.

It is also possible to borrow additional funds against the value of your SIPP or FPT, as much as 50% of the value of the SIPP/FPT can be borrowed to increase the overall fund for property investment.

So as an example, a fund that has a value of £150,000 can be increased by 50% (or £75,000) to make a total fund of £ £225,000 available to invest in property.

As with any investment on Dunas Beach Resort the property purchased by your pension will benefit from future capital growth and rental income from participation in the Hotel Managed Rental Scheme.
