Testimonials

Takaki Chiba Naomi   Hong Kong

I am happy with Property Frontiers' service. All the people I have met have been very professional; they are definitely working for their customers and seeking to build long term relationships.

Mary Jacobs   London

I decided to invest £38, 000 in a student pod at Beacon Building, Liverpool as I thought it would form a great part of my investment portfolio as well as offering impressive returns of over 10% NET.

I thought a student property near the University would be a good idea and a great way to obtain solid returns and Property Frontiers offered a great investment. Additionally, the rents are not excessive for the students either which I really like, particularly as I have a student son at another University so understand what it is like for young people living away for University.

Overall I found the investment process through Property Frontiers comparatively simple. I am really happy with my investment - it is the most hassle free property investment I have ever done. I have been a landlady for years around London and abroad and this is certainly one of my favourite investments to date.

Deeba Ahmed   Bought at Mandalay Bay, Florida, USA

Thank you very much for guiding me through the process of purchasing this property in US. I also congratulate you for the wonderful service you have provided throughout.

Believe me, if you didn't convince me and laid down every detail clearly over the phone to build up my confidence and trust, I probably would still be looking for a property in such a confusing market of US, especially being a first time buyer. And I also appreciate you always being there to guide me and answer, so patiently and promptly, my so many many questions all throughout. I look forward to buying more properties in the US in near future and if I choose a property from the listing of Property Frontiers.Many thanks again.

John and Jessica Reay   Somerset

My husband and I were keen to buy a property for investment and after some deliberation we decided that buying student accommodation would be a very sound choice..

This type of investment seemed ideal for planning our future, and in the meantime we would be assisting a couple of students every year with accommodation and to work towards their future. That mix just seemed really right in my mind. We spent some time on the internet looking for companies that could advise on this type of investment and we came across Property Frontiers.After speaking with them, Property Frontiers seemed to stand out from the crowd. They really knew their stuff and were able to answer all our questions comprehensively. It was Property Frontiers who suggested Liverpool as a really good place to consider, they knew all the facts on the shortage of student accommodation so it really appears that we cannot fail to make a good return on our investment. During the whole process Property Frontiers were extremely efficient. The purchase procedure was handled effectively and confidently by the company. All correspondence was prompt and honest. The management company is well organized and deals with concerns efficiently. I would have no hesitation in recommending Property Frontiers to anyone, their attention to detail and customer service was truly excellent, a good job very well done.

Dr Geraldo Furtado, Brazil   Paul Chan, Hong Kong

I am not new to property investment having already purchased buy-to-let properties in London, Wales and Hong Kong where I am now based. Over a year ago I started looking at other global destinations, markets which seemed safe bets and had the potential for future growth. Brazil stood out for me as an attractive investment opportunity, the next China, and so I started doing some research.

It was whilst I was researching that I came across Property Frontiers and their project in Natal, a location a friend of mine had previously recommended. I contacted investment consultant Nadya Boynton who explained the merits of the Brazilian market and what the project, Dr Geraldo Furtado was all about.

Having not been to Brazil previously it was really helpful to hear Nadya's first-hand experience of the market and it gave me great peace of mind. She was enthusiastic and very professional, answering any queries I had.

So, about 12 months ago I purchased a 3 bedroom apartment in Dr Geraldo Furtado and my brothers also purchased similar sized properties too. I am very happy with my investment and look forward to visiting the apartment upon completion in 2013. I am even more excited about taking a trip to Natal with my brothers for the FIFA World Cup in 2014!

Istanbul property investment   Stephen Wise, Kuwait

When I got the original newsletter from Property Frontiers I became very interested in pursuing a rental investment property in Turkey especially seeing as not only have I always enjoyed my visits to the country but I am also savvy to the investment potential of Istanbul.

Once I decided that No 1 Knightsbridge in Istanbul would provide the perfect Turkish property for me to rent out (unless I fall in love with it when it is finished and want to live there myself) I paid the required $50,000 up front and will pay off the remaining $100,000 upon completion in 2014.

In terms of the buying process I am more than satisfied especially considering Property Frontiers are located in UK, while I reside in Kuwait, commuting each day over the border to my job in Saudi Arabia and the No 1 Knightsbridge property is in Istanbul which was a wee bit challenging to say the least. In spite of this, everyone at Property Frontiers made the entire experience as seamless as possible, big thanks to investment consultant Gwen and Operations Manager Katie. They even gave me a pep talk when I was getting a little frustrated with the embassy and the paperwork, and in the end it worked out just fine.

I have to say that I would absolutely buy through Property Frontiers again. Anyone who is buying property overseas, and in some cases 'sight unseen', will find the experience daunting. What is most critical obviously, is the legitimacy of the deal. Property Frontiers is well established, with professional staff that immediately dispel those initial feelings of doubt. I am in continuous contact with them and will certainly buy through them when another opportunity appears that is appropriate for me.

If I could give any advice to those looking at property investments I would say to really look at the property as a place where you yourself could live, because even if your initial plan is to buy for investment, paths can change and you may want it for yourself. I would certainly say buying in a place that you are excited about can heighten the joy of the experience!

The second piece of advice is to dispel those pesky feelings of doubt by only looking at opportunities that are legitimate. Talk to other international investors and get their referrals, this will then release you to enjoy the entire experience and lastly, don't be daunted by the paperwork, contracts and taxes, it may seem overwhelming but it is really quite routine and manageable when you jump in and do it.

Overall I am extremely pleased with how things have worked and feel very lucky that I have been able to jump into some exciting investments. I would once again like to give thanks to all at Property Frontiers and I will look forward to seeing what the future has to hold for me and my property investment and other future ventures that may arise.

Portfolio Buyers   Graham and Anne Shephard

Having invested in several off-plan overseas property developments through Property Frontiers, Graham and Anne Shepard are one of our highly esteemed repeat clients. Here is what they had to say about our service and why they always buy through Property Frontiers:

Although there are literally hundreds of agents on the internet selling overseas properties, very few of them specifically target investors requiring ‘hands–free’ investments, fully managed rental pools, overseas mortgages etc.  Following extensive research, we chose Property Frontiers for the following reasons:

Due diligence – absolutely essential when buying into an unfamiliar market.  All projects presented by Property Frontiers have been meticulously researched by a dedicated in-house team.  Furthermore, we understand that for every one that gets through their rigorous vetting procedures, numerous others have been rejected.

Information – all this research is then condensed into an Investment Prospectus which can be downloaded from their website, perused at leisure, thus allowing the investor to make an informed decision on whether to purchase or not.

No pressure sales – having made a decision, there is never pressure on the investor to waver from this.  Indeed, Property Frontiers’ ethos is to encourage repeat custom through good experience.  For us, this has certainly been the case.

After-sales – we have always found this to be prompt, courteous and extremely professional.

Peace of mind – naturally when dealing with large sums of money, this is paramount.  We are satisfied that Property Frontiers make every effort to ensure that investors’ funds are secure throughout the purchasing process.

Return on investment – as off-plan purchases are medium to long-term investments, tangible returns take time to come to fruition.  However, from personal experience, the uplift in capital values achieved so far have always met or exceeded Property Frontiers’ original projections.

In summary, we have the utmost confidence in Property Frontiers’ overall service and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to fellow investors.

Nicaraguan Bamboo experience with EcoPlanet   Geoff Chew, Colombia

Firstly I would like to thanks Property Frontiers for helping with travel arrangements, they have been most helpful in what has been an unforgettable trip.

When I arrived in Nicaragua, I was surprised at how relaxed everything appeared. The only law enforcement I saw were traffic police, with no military presence on the roads or in the towns which made me feel at ease straight away.

It looks like the Sandinista National Liberation Front continues to have popular support and will be re-elected in 2012. I think the Nicaraguans need CAFTA as much as Chavez' oil handouts so there will be no economic shift in the short term, or at least in the 5 year gestation period of this project.

John Vogel, president of the EcoPlanet Bamboo Management team, is a very impressive individual with agricultural experience, business acumen, enthusiasm and above all personal integrity.

We spent three days together locked in conversation and on no single occasion did he evade, bluster or deliver any hot air! He is Nicaraguan but thinks and behaves like an international businessman and has that rare common touch for connecting with people at all social levels. I had ample opportunity to watch him in action as we toured the plantation on horseback, met the local players and planted the very first bamboo sapling.

I know nothing about bamboo so I took as read, that the site will offer ideal growing conditions- soil acidity, ground water, rainfall and topography. However the farm's geographical position is exciting.

There are two obvious shipping routes for the product via Rama/ Rio Escondido to the Atlantic coast or by paved road to the Pacific seaboard. Out of curiosity I took a river launch from Bluff to Rama to view the river. However both John and I enthused about using the Rio Siquia (navigable tributary of the Escondido) which borders the plantation to barge out bamboo in large quantities, consolidating cargos in Rama or Port Bluff. So logistically I think the choice of site is perfect.

In conclusion, although the Ecoplanet Prospectus in itself was persuasive the visit brought real substance to the proposal and inspired confidence that the team on the ground have the skills and vision to make it happen.

Regency Residence, Mongolia   Martin Goldsworthy

Martin was one of our many satisfied buyers in the Regency Residence, development in Ulaan Baatar Mongolia. Here is what he had to say:

As a first time buyer of overseas property I found the help and advice of Property Frontiers extremely valuable. The Company conducts thorough research on the projects it promotes and has a sound understanding of the local market conditions. Its consultants have a diligent and helpful attitude, following up on questions and outstanding points promptly. Their professional approach has made the whole process easier to navigate and was a key element in gaining to confidence to proceed.

Plaza Hyundai, Shanghai China   Chun Lee

Chun was one of our many buyers in the now completed Plaza Hyundia project in Shanghai China. Here is what she had to say about our service:

Buying property abroad is not always straight-forward and this can be complicated further by the differences in processes and language, and issues such as dealing with foreign banks.  Edward and Marsha held my hand throughout the process of buying a property in China with considerable patience and expertise; and with Marsha as a Mandarin-speaker being invaluable in dealing with the hitches in China.

Nicaraguan Bamboo experience with EcoPlanet   Guy Wilkinson, Watford, UK

Guy bought invested in our Eco Planet Bamboo Investment Project. Here is what he had to say about our service:

"I contacted Property Frontiers as I wanted to expand my portfolio of alternative investments and thought that their bamboo opportunity looked of real interest. Investment consultant Gwenda Thompson talked me through the project, how it was structured and what returns could be expected.
 
At all times I was impressed with Gwenda’s knowledge and professionalism and it was a pleasure to deal with her. I have now committed to 2 hectares of bamboo and am looking forward to reaping the rewards of my investment"
