Further bad news for pension holders, as news that annuity rates have fallen by almost four percent in just three months has hit the market hard, leaving many to fear whether their pension income is going to provide them with the quality of life they deserve after decades of work.

This news represents the biggest fall in the value of private sector pensions since September 2010, with present annuity rates down by almost a tenth since June 2009.

A major reason for the weakening of many people’s pensions is the current turmoil in the eurozone, which has caused the returns earned on British Government bonds, on which annuities depend, to fall sharply.

The Caribbean economy is currently particularly buoyant, with house prices having risen consistently for the last decade, with the global economic meltdown not having reached the shores of these magnificent islands. The Caribbean investment property we have available is also SIPP compliant, and with capital growth of up to 50% and ongoing return on investment due to rental income sitting at 20-30%, there are currently few more lucrative methods of investing in your future.

As an example of the poor returns individuals can expect from their pensions, a 65 year old with a £50,000 pension pot would have been able to purchase a conventional lifetime annual leave income of £3,224; today that has dropped to only £2,902.

Advice from the technical director of the pension specialists that conducted the research was to no longer accept the annuity deal they are offered by their pension provider. He advised people to shop around for the best rates and consider other pension pots, with Caribbean investment property representing a noteworthy opportunity.

With the Euro Zone currently experiencing such crisis, stock markets suffering across the globe and the property markets of many of the leading world powers stagnant, the number of sound investments has diminished drastically. Many people are turning to tangible assets such as art, wine and classic cars, in an attempt to secure their futures and tie their cash into a secure commodity. However, there are plenty of locations which have been left untouched by the economic crisis which is affecting much of the globe. Areas such as the Caribbean have escaped unscathed, making a Caribbean investment property one investment which will still excite those looking for an excellent return.

A recent record of the top ten investment property havens, compiled by The Telegraph, lists a Caribbean investment property on the islands of Barbados and St Lucia as the 7th and 8th best locations to invest your cash.    
The best way to make a secure investment is to choose a luxurious property in an exclusive area, that way, not only will you be able to enjoy the best the island has to offer, you will also stand an increased chance of seeing bumper returns.

So what is it that sets Caribbean investment property apart from other opportunities across the globe? Well perhaps the most important factor is the innate beauty of these fantasy islands. It’s not every day a chance to live like the rich and famous comes along. The luxury of Barbados and St Lucia provides exactly that. With crystal clear seas, long sandy beaches, sunshine all year round and some stunning natural features, Caribbean investment property offers a personal taste of paradise.

The same features that make a Caribbean investment property such an attractive destination for investors, work in the same way to attract holiday makers, ensuring an excellent all year round rental yield from the Caribbean investment property.

Overseas buyers of Caribbean investment property are welcome with open arms; and with no capital gains tax and mortgages readily available, even for foreigners, it is plain to see why a Caribbean investment property ranks so highly on the list of the world’s best property investments.

If you’d like to invest in your own little corner of paradise, a Caribbean investment property provides not only a breathtaking location to spend your time; it’s also an excellent way of planning for your future.

With more and more companies and organisations cutting pensions and the pension age set to rise, it’s only natural that more and more people are looking for pension alternatives.  If you’ve recently received your pension forecast and you’re left shocked by the small amount you’ll receive then it could be time to consider property investment.

You don’t necessarily need to have thousands of pounds at your disposal to invest in property abroad as many property investment companies offer you the option of laying down a small deposit and taking out a mortgage.  If your property investment is in a tourist area then you can make your mortgage payment and more back from accommodation rents.

Take the Caribbean for example.  A property investment in the Caribbean offers an affordable, hassle free option that can bring in huge returns.  Many properties are available at up to 50% lower than market value and some property investment agencies also offer 100% finance subject to status.  That’s great news if you can’t afford to put down a deposit and many people have taken out finance in this way and are now reaping the rewards.

Although you may not need to pay a deposit you will need to pay a holding charge although this is usually a small amount.  Many agencies also guarantee rent for a number of years.  When you compare these facts and figures to buying a property in the UK, you can see the obvious benefits immediately.  Although the property investment market in the UK is stable, it’s certainly not booming and even if you can afford a 15% deposit (this is the normal amount required by lenders) you will also have to pay huge agency fees in order to get the tenants you need to make a profit.

A property investment in the Caribbean offers an opportunity that cannot be missed.  Your property will be managed by some of the best property professionals in the industry who will ensure you get a good number of visitors to your property and that it is let as often as possible.  The good news is tourists flock to the Caribbean all year round so there is never really a quiet season.  Why not take a look at the suites, penthouses, hotels and bungalows that are available right now and choose your property investment with confidence.

Whether you are a seasoned property investment professional or you are considering your first property investment, there are thousands of opportunities waiting for you right now. Call 02920 695936 today to find out more.
