UK Property Investors and Filipinos Married to British Citizens Snap Up Cheap Condotel Investments in

the Philippines taking Advantage of Financing Options Open to International Buyers

Pacific Concord Properties, Inc., Flagship Lancaster Atrium Suites Condotel [Manila] development located

along Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila, is one of the hottest Condotel Investments in the

Philippines where property investors, apart from real estate appreciation initially reckoned to be 100% for

early investors, will get projected Rental Incomes on their units of up to 16% per annum once fully

operational from 2010

According to Beth Collingz, of PLC International Marketing Networks, a Lead Marketing Partner with

Pacific Concord Properties Inc., whom have Condotel developments in Metro Manila and Cebu, and

specializes in working with international clients: “My phone has been very busy with buyers from the UK,

Scotland and Australia interested in purchasing investment properties and holiday homes here. A lot of this

interest is being driven by the relatively cheap market prices in the Philippines compared to Europe,

specially UK Housing prices, and the easy payment options available for our Condotel Developments, but

there are other factors, too. Offshore Property Investors, Foreign baby boomers as well as overseas

Filipinos, are looking for ways to maximize their return on investments as they approach retirement, and so

are purchasing second homes, particularly Condotel Investments where they can use the Condo for

vacations and rent it out through our In-House Condotel Management when they are not using the unit

thereby gaining rental incomes that on today’s purchase prices, give a projected ROI on their investments

of some 12-16% depending upon the mode of payment for the unit”

Beth Collingz, who runs PLC Global Pinoy, an internet based marketing network specializing in Condotel

Investments in the Philippines, indicated that more than 85% of all Condotel sales in Metro Manila were to

international clients. While such a level of foreign-purchasing activity is not as high in the Philippines

provinces, Cebu in particular, has seen a sharp increase in real estate purchases by international buyers in

the past several years.

“These international buyers know it’s a buyer’s market in the Philippines right now—there are a lot of

properties available and fewer local buyers,” Collingz said. “I’m working with clients who are purchasing

their second property with me. We also have referrals from many of our prior customers and new clients

who have found us through our Web sites, lancastersuites. com and plcglobalpinoy. com which include a

special section for international buyers”

Previously a stumbling block for some international buyers was the perception that it is difficult — if not

impossible — to obtain financing in the Philippines. As a result, many purchases in the past were cash

sales.

Pacific Concord Properties recently introduced the new affordable easy payment plans for the Lancaster

Atrium Manila Condotel Suites where a Studio Unit can be purchased without any down payment, and 67%

of the contract price payable over 60 months interest free and the 33% balance payable on turnover of the

unit or to be extended for another 60 months through PCPI’s no prequalification no hassle finance plan,

sales of the companies inventory of units will surely sell out quickly to investors seeking to take advantage

of the Condotel Investment “Boom” in the Philippines.

A major stumbling block for some Investors from the UK was the perception that purchasing property in

the Philippines was risky with nightmare stories of fraud and deception abounding due to the lack of

Professional Realtors and Internationally accepted principles’ of Real Estate Transactions.

With Pacific Concord Properties Inc adopting International Property Standards and the only Philippine

Real Estate Developer to operate the Internationally accepted practice of Escrow Trust Account Banking

for all payments made by buyers of it’s Condotel Suites, international offshore property investors need no

longer worry about the security of their investments.
