2 Bedroom Plantation Cabana Property for sale in The Merricks, Barbados, Caribbean

1

Villa property for sale in the Caribbean. The resort has all the amenities one would expect of a 5-star development and these 3 bedroom cabanas are perfect for year-round rentals. The development has local vegetation such as banana plants to give that authentic feel and is being built right on the beachside atop cliffs overloooking the sea.

International flights from the UK to Barbados land only 15 minutes away from the resort making this an attrctive investment property with the potential for all-year rental income.

Prices start from as low as £795,000 for a 3 bedroom Caribbean property and can be bought using the 100% finance offer as follows:

The 100% finance scheme works as follows:

Example based on £200,000 property

Reservation deposit £1,000

30% After 45 days £60,000.  Note 1 below.   

70% Guaranteed mortgage £227,500.  Note 2 below.  

2 Years guaranteed rental £40, 000.  Note 3 below.   

50% Rental share thereafter £59,000 pa. Note 4 below.  

Estimated mortgage cost £18,000 pa . Note 2 below.  

How it works

A £1,000 non-refundable fee is only needed for the reservation of a specific property.

Note 1 An additional 30% deposit is then required (less £1,000)
within 45 days of reservation. Should you choose to borrow the 30%
deposit; the developer will pay the loan repayments, including
interest, for this deposit until completion of the specific unit you
have reserved. The interest element of these payments will then be
added to the purchase price upon completion. (Example, Property price
£200,000. £1,000 reservation fee paid. The deposit = £200,000 x 30% =
£60,000 - £1,000 (reservation fee) = £59,000. Interest on £59,000 @ 6%
p.a. = £295 per month, paid for 24 months by the developer = £7,200
added to the purchase price upon completion).

Due to the significantly discounted off-plan price and the likely
capital appreciation during construction, it is anticipated that the
£200,000 purchase price will have grown in value, on completion, to
circa £325,000

Note 2 At this point a guaranteed 70% loan to value mortgage is
available and you will, therefore, be able to borrow up to £227,500
against the £325,000 valuation.  This is ample to repay the outstanding
£140,000 (the purchase price less £60,000 deposit paid) as well as the
accrued interest of £7,200 and to repay any loans used to finance the
£60,000 deposit.

Assuming you borrowed the maximum loan to value i.e. £227,500 the annual interest would be £18,200 based on a rate of 8%.

Note 3 The rental guarantee of 10% (payable in the first 2 years
following completion), based on the purchase price of £200,000 will
generate an income of £20,000 p.a., which is sufficient to cover your
loan interest charges.

Note 4 Alternatively you could retain the £59,000 loan taken out for
the original deposit, pay the interest yourself each month, from
completion onwards, and use it to invest in a further investment
property purchase.

You are free to sell your property at any time, although you are
likely to receive an optimum price once your unit has been built and
you are in receipt of a guaranteed income stream.
