Australian Luxury Property Expo & Seminar in London
BRISBANE, Australia, April 23/PRNewswire/ --
British buyers eyeing off Australia's booming coastal property market
will get an insight into some of its star performers at this month's A Place
in the Sun Live overseas property exhibition in London.
Australian property developer Juniper Group will showcase three of its
coastal developments. A current hot spot for British Buyers, and Australia's
most celebrated international tourism destinations Port Douglas (Cairns,
Great Barrier Reef) and Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise).
Global real estate agency Coldwell Banker Australia, Chief Executive Alex
Caraco, whose firm will host an exhibitor's stand on behalf of Juniper Group,
said properties at Sea Temple Resort & Spa and Sea Temple Golf & Country Club
offered an unrivalled level of luxury in a stunning location (Port Douglas).
Mr Caraco said Australian Bureau of Statistics figures revealed that
British residents now accounted for 28 per cent of foreign property purchases
in Queensland, a margin that has been increasing in recent years.
"Property data reveals that 110 permanent UK residents own prestige real
estate in the Port Douglas and Cairns region. These are people who have
chosen to invest their money in a rising property market and plan their lives
around this beautiful part of the world.
"While some buyers are investors, many are Brits who have either chosen
to move permanently to Port Douglas or live their winters there, with many
people renting out their property for six months and living there for the
other six months."
Sea Temple Resort & Spa offers people the opportunity to purchase luxury
apartments and villas from 399,000 pounds Sterling or Golf & Country Club
features homesites on 600-700sqm blocks with luxury Golf Course Residences
from 810,000 pounds.
Both properties are nestled between North Queensland's rainforest-covered
mountains and the Coral Sea, with easy access to world-renowned natural
attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.
Savvy investors at the London exhibition will also be attracted to
Juniper Group's Soul Surfers Paradise, a 77-storey residential and retail
tower under construction on beachfront at the Gold Coast
The undisputed crown in the Juniper Group's property portfolio, the $850
million Soul development is now under construction in the heart of Surfers
Paradise and will be home to almost 300 luxury apartments overlooking one of
Australia's best-known beaches in a location that can never be built out.
"People are looking for a safe haven for their money and Australia's
luxury property market is rising accordingly, with Soul one of the true
success stories."
Prospective buyers have even more incentive to consider Soul at the
moment, with Juniper Group offering the chance to buy an apartment now and
not settle until late 2010.
"With global share markets struggling at the moment, this offer means
that buyers can secure their future with a 10% deposit, at today's prices and
not have to pay anything further for 3 years," Mr Caraco said.
Mr Caraco said Soul, Surfers Paradise was achieving stunning sales
results, with more than 180 apartment sales totaling AU$425 million already
sealed despite final completion of the tower still more than three years
away.
"Soul already holds the Australian record price for an apartment at
AUS$16.85 million and continues to set new records for the property
industry," he said.
Property buyers and investors are also invited to attend the Overseas
Property Seminar, held on 1st May 2008 at 111 Buckingham Palace Road at the
Offices of the Telegraph Newspaper or Visit:
