The partition is a process by which a property is distributed among multiple people. Each individual receives a part of this process, and became owner of the quota, as amended. This happens usually of property according to the people pursuant to stock right to them, each part divided property gets a new title. A partition is in General, a division of property among the legal heirs or owner. Partition of a property typically leads to disputes between the legal heirs. Some of the arguments that occur during the partition part relationship, eligible owners of shares and much more.

GOLF GRABS BULGARIA!

At the present time there are only three golf courses in the whole of Bulgaria: one at Elin Pelin, near the capital, Sofia, and two owned by Air Sofia. These are located at Ihtiman, opened in 2000, 40km from Sofia, and at Sliven, opened in 2004, 90km from the Black Sea.

Because of the increasingly rapid rise in foreign interest in Bulgaria recently, several more golf courses are proposed. One of these will be located at Razgrad, in the north-east, about 90km from the Black Sea. More are scheduled to open in the next few years: two at Kavarna and one at Primorsko, near Sozopol.

Mountain and ski areas will be represented by a golf course in the ski town of Bansko this year, and a very large golf complex between Kostenets and Borovets, the country’s foremost ski resort. This is scheduled for 2007, the year of Bulgaria’s entry into the European Union, and will be located at Dolna Banya, already near Bulgaria’s first golf course at Ihtiman.

Bulgaria Properties Ltd has purchased almost 6 acres of prime development land adjacent to the proposed golf course at Dolna Banya. The plans are to construct about 220 apartments around a comprehensive sports complex, with access to the golf course by a short footpath. The amenities on site are to include tennis, volleyball, squash, badminton, lawn bowls, boules (boccia), shooting, archery, croquet, mountain biking, and fishing nearby. Indoor facilities will include a 140-seat main restaurant and cabaret stage, a huge main bar (perhaps the largest in Bulgaria), a sports bar with projection TV, snooker, pool, table football, table tennis, a Chinese restaurant, Indian restaurant, fast food cafeteria, pizzeria, gymnasium, sauna, massage parlour, clinic, chemist, sports shop and minimarket.

Steve Avery, a Director of Bulgaria Properties Ltd, said, “It may sound like a cliché, but we really were in the right place at the right time! After two years in this business, I just couldn’t believe my luck to find such a gem. Anyone involved in this project should make a serious return on their investment.”

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE BULGARIAN PROPERTY MARKET

On Borovets and Bansko generally, Steve had this to say: “Apart from having ski lifts and ski runs, these two towns are quite different from each other, and appeal to different groups of people. Bansko is an old, traditional residential town with lots of character and no fewer than 180 quaint taverns full of local people singing and dancing to a typical Bulgarian folk band. Borovets, by contrast, is purely a resort, with hotels, modern west European-style bars and night-clubs, cafés and restaurants. Residential property and holiday homes are therefore readily available in Bansko, but not in Borovets, where the closest you can get is usually in one of the surrounding villages.

‘As for property values, Bansko went mad for a period of three months at the end of 2003, with land prices doubling, and then calmed down. Many poor goatherders suddenly found that they were rich. Nothing wrong with that, I say. Since then values have been pretty steady there until now, when they’re starting to creep up again. The reason for this is that the sudden surge in foreign tourists to Bansko has left the supply of holiday accommodation woefully short of the demand. And this trend shows no sign of abating. To try to cope with it, there have sprung up many hotels and apartment projects, but it seems unlikely that even these will be able to satisfy the demand for accommodation for several years yet. As a result, the prices for such apartments range from 1,000 Euros per sq.m. for a ground-floor unit facing away from the mountains, to 1,350 Euros per sq.m. for a top-floor example with a mountain view. Yet, people buy them. I guess, because a 1 bedroom 60sq.m. apartment for £41,000 is still a far better deal than you’d get in Spain. I’ve heard developers claim that 90% of their apartments are sold within 3 weeks! I only hope that we have such luck when ours are released in June!

‘In this respect Borovets, again, is different. Although it’s Bulgaria’s first and best-known ski resort, it stagnated for years… until now. The ‘Super Borovets’ project, funded by EU, governmental, foreign and local business sources, is scheduled to run from 2005 to 2009, and will revitalise the whole region around the town to a radius of 10-12km. This has already started to affect property values in the surrounding areas. To give an example, in March 2004 we bought, unseen, a half-acre plot in a village 15km from Borovets. When I visited it, I discovered that it wasn’t suitable for building apartments; so, I put it on the market in August. By November it was sold at an 80% profit – after all costs were deducted!

‘I am personally of the opinion that the ‘Bansko effect’ could strike around Borovets at any moment. That’s the reason why Bulgaria Properties Ltd is developing four projects here, and only two in Bansko. We can sell these apartments about 15% cheaper – at the moment, anyway. Borovets must surely offer a better return on investment, regardless of the type of property bought: land, a shack, whatever. You won’t find new apartments easily, though. As far as we know, Bulgaria Properties Ltd is the only developer building them. I don’t, however, expect this monopoly to last for long.

‘Bulgaria’s third ski region is at Pamporovo, which, like Borovets, is purely a resort. Funding is starting to come in, but full development, if it happens at all, is likely to follow several years behind Borovets. Its distance from Sofia (a day’s drive) makes it less attractive to visitors from north and west Europe. It is, however, popular with Greeks, because of its proximity to the frontier. One of Bulgaria’s major motorway routes to Greece will pass very close to Pamporovo, and this should boost its popularity, as well as making the Mediterranean Sea more accessible.

‘Property values are lower here than in Bansko and Borovets, but are creeping up gradually. I reckon that Pamporovo is a good long-term prospect; say five to ten years. The only reason why Bulgaria Properties Ltd has no developments here is because I’ll probably have retired before the boom happens.”

How does a mountain area investment compare with coastal properties?

“Significant differences yet again. Until recently, most of the investment was flooding into the northern Black Sea coast resorts, from Varna down to Sunny Beach. The area became very popular as a result of the Bulgarian government’s ‘Bulgaria the Beautiful’ TV campaign back in the ’80s, and the subsequent interest of package tour operators. Now that the north is saturated with developments, the interest has begun to creep down the coast. This is causing a steep rise in property values. They are still lower than those in the north, but the gap is closing. An investment in the south should therefore offer a better ROI.

‘Don’t expect, though, the ambience of the south to become like that of the north. When I discussed the subject with the Chairman of the Bulgarian Foreign Investment Agency last year – an extremely intelligent and able young man, I must add – he told me in no uncertain terms that he did not want the south to become like the north. His very words were: “We don’t want another Benidorm.” So, prospective property purchasers need to bear this in mind, and balance their desire for more capital growth, or their willingness to accept less, with the different rental market appeal of the two regions, along with their own taste in holidays.

‘There is one highly significant factor, however, which very often goes unnoticed until it is too late; and it applies to the whole coast. Most people don’t know that it freezes on the coast in winter. When they see the coastal resorts basking in the hot summer sunshine, it’s difficult to imagine snow on the ground. The entire coast simply shuts down in the winter, and nothing happens. It’s as dead as a doornail. Therefore, rental income can be fairly assured for 15 weeks, possibly 20, plus some odd bits in the shoulder seasons of April and October. The coast has a five-month season from May to September, compared to nine months in the ski areas. Those people buying only for rental income, therefore, would find the mountains far more lucrative.

‘ ‘The Times’ recently published an article, saying: “Rental yields tend to be better for ski properties than those on the coast because of the longer ski season. You could expect about 12 per cent gross yield for a good ski apartment and about half that on the coast.”

‘Rents vary greatly, and depend on many factors, most of which should be obvious: location, size, view, amenities. The standard of finish and the condition of the property can also determine your market quite radically. To appeal to west Europeans, and to command the highest rents, your property must be well finished and appointed, and be in tip-top condition. If it is not, you still have a market for east Europeans, who tolerate less salubrious surroundings because they pay much less, usually about half of the west European rates.

‘Generally, summer rental rates on the coast equate to winter rates in the ski resorts, both seasons being about five months. Remember that you also have about four months’ additional rent, though at lower rates, during the summer in the mountains. These rates should increase gradually, as the Government programmes to make the ski towns more popular for summer holidays make their mark.

‘There are several Bulgarian agencies willing to manage your rental properties for you. Expect to pay about 20% of the rent as a fee.”

What about properties in the countryside?

“Not a serious contender in the ROI stakes, I think. Not if you consider the effort involved. You can pick up property very cheaply indeed in the inland areas, away from the resorts. Almost always it’ll need some kind of work; anything from a face-lift to demolition. There’s often no inner staircase to the bedrooms, no bathroom, and the toilet is in a shed in the garden. This kind of property is great for buyers who want to get away from their homeland, and disappear in the beauty of nature permanently. As a business, it could appeal to self-builders or DIY enthusiasts, prepared to do it for fun, and accept a low return on their financial and physical investment. As for rental income, forget it!”

And the cities?

“Again, there are differences, even between cities. The prime city is, of course, Sofia, the capital. Buy the right apartment here, in the right area, and you can expect a guaranteed rental return of about 12% per annum. The flavour of the month is gated communities, particularly in the south of the city. The diplomatic residential district of Vitosha is one of the best bets. There is a ready demand for luxury accommodation from diplomatic staff and executives seconded by foreign companies, usually on a long-term basis, and this demand should increase as 2007, the year of Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union, approaches. Although you should expect to pay high for such properties by Bulgarian standards, it’s still only the price of a tarted-up Victorian terraced flat in a UK provincial town.

‘There’s virtually no market for tourist rentals in Sofia, as it’s probably the least interesting European capital city. It’s also very polluted, although they are trying to clean up their act, ready for EU entry in 2007.

‘Plovdiv, the country’s second city, is much more pleasant. It has a quaint old town, as well as modern business districts. It therefore bridges the gap between business and tourism, as far as rentals are concerned. Plovdiv is connected to Sofia by an excellent motorway, on which you can keep the pedal to the metal, if you’re prepared to risk an on-the-spot fine of 50 Leva (about £18).

‘Veliko Tarnovo is probably Bulgaria’s most touristic city, with its citadel and mediaeval ramparts. Most people who buy property here do so to make it their main home. The city itself is beautiful, and it has everything a townie needs. Drive a short distance, and you’re in some wonderful countryside. You couldn’t really make a good living from rentals, but it’s the perfect place to retire to.

‘There’s one more thing which is important enough to mention: Mineral baths. These exist all over Bulgaria, the most significant being at Narechen, south of Plovdiv, and Momin Prohod, near Kostenets. Scientific studies rank Bulgaria among the foremost in Europe for hydrothermal, bioclimatic and mud treatments, sea cures and other health resources. Bulgaria is a world leader with its exceptional diversity of medicinal herbs and the excellent curative properties of its apian products. Any property near a spa should attract a premium to its sales or rental value.”

A Proactive Approach to Greater Profits in Property Investment

In order to clarify the benefits of the proactive approach, first we need to glance back a little and lay a foundation.

Since 1991 investors flocked to invest into the new accommodation wave of city apartments. The attraction was very compelling at the time for a number of reasons. The market place for accommodation requirements was showing signs of change, there were new markets emerging that had never existed to any degree before, such as the female market, the short term business accommodation market which became the serviced apartment industry and also the Asian education student accommodation market.

Also downsizing middle aged couples along with an increasing percentage of single occupancy dwelling requirements played its part. Also contributing were more families with two homes, as with wealth came the opportunity to own maybe a beach house or acreage property plus the inner city apartment. Further to this an eager state Government keen to keep jobs happening in a very fragile economy, ensured a planning system that produced permits quickly, all of these factors added weight to the attraction of apartment investment.

As prompt planning approvals improved affordability as it reduced holding costs for the developers, whereas today this adds thousands of dollars for no benefit to the cost of a dwelling. Adding further weight to this move was improved taxation benefits due to significant depreciation allowances and the growing awareness of the cash flow advantages of taxation variations, plus stamp duty savings for buying off the plan, and the opportunities to buy property in ones super fund whilst achieving negative gearing status for funds borrowed.

However it is significantly different today in 2011 than it was in 1990, for example in Melbourne CBD and the city fringe there were less than 3000 apartments, compared to over 45,000 today. City land was at historic lows and building costs were highly competitive due to the crash of the commercial property boom. Docklands and South Bank didn’t exist.

All this has changed, today you have land values at high levels, and building costs at historic highs.

So with such significant change and such different conditions, what is the answer to maximise your property investments returns over the next two decades.

In the first place we know there is a shortage of housing in fact to the tune of approaching 300,000 houses Australia wide. This is caused by a number of factors, one which is often over looked is our rapidly slowing death count. This results in less deceased estates and therefore less property sales from this sector. Another reason is the government’s taxation loadings which reduce viability of many otherwise viable sites. A major culprit in reducing housing is our expensive and inefficient planning and permit approval system.

This is further compounded by long term population growth which has slowed but is still growing at around 1.7% per annum and on all accounts is sustainable well into the future. The rest of Asia has decided they want to live in Australia and Australians have willing handed over the ownership of the lucky country. One day soon they will wake up and discover they are living in someone else’s culture.

However with a weak government and a she’ll be right attitude of the citizens, be sure nothing will change, in fact watch the immigration rates further spiral to a day when we have a Melbourne population in excess of 7 million people and a new culture along with it. If you consider this forecast has potential then also consider what this will do to property values in well located areas with good access to work, transportation, quality education and entertainment.

STEP ONE

Step one in our proactive approach to greater profits in property investment discussion is to plan your investment strategy to benefit from this event as it will happen. The key here is not to get side tracked by market swings or media hype proclaiming the next so called hot spot, which seems to appear at least once a month in yet again a new location, simply stay focused on the big picture.

STEP TWO

The next step for safe and sure profit in property investment in the long haul is simply to hold on to your well chosen assets.

STEP THREE

The third step and a most important step is to set yourself up so you can hold on to your property assets.

Time honoured but has the time run out

The two most considered options are to buy something in a great location sit on it and wait for the market over time to produce a profit. However whilst this strategy has a good past history the environment has changed considerably as demonstrated above, not suggesting over time this strategy won’t deliver as with population growth and continued supply and demand issues it will. But this strategy is costly in regards to your holding costs than if you were to buy something in a great location of the future, as you will get a higher rental percentage to investment along the journey and potentially a similar capital growth rate.

Time to dig a little Deeper

However both of these strategies are in some ways flawed, the first one requires a substantial investment with a low return; this strains cash flow and therefore reduces other investment opportunity. The second system can be a long time in the making and you need to be assured the area is heading in the direction you intended for capital growth. Don’t be fooled just because an area is growing this does not mean more capital growth in the short term in fact it can be quite the opposite.

There is a better way

There is a better solution to both of these options and this is the property development and hold option. This option provides the opportunity not only for capital growth but greater leverage on capital growth. Also a far better cash flow position due to higher depreciation taxation allowances plus the big one, GST, as you don’t pay GST on the sales price if you hold the asset for five years.

You will benefit from higher rental incomes from the investment you have made, as your return comes from the value of the asset not the cost to develop the asset. For example you buy the land and build two townhouses with combined total cost of $1,000,000 to complete the project; however the market value for these completed townhouses comes in at $625,000 each, therefore the gross asset value is $1,250,000.

So if we assumed you borrowed 80% of the total land acquisition and development cost which totaled one million dollars you would borrow eight hundred thousand dollars. If we assume a rental income return of 4.5% on the $1,250,000 this would produce a gross income of $56,250 per year. On the $800,000 borrowings at say a 7.5% interest rate, the annual interest bill would be $60,000 per year.

After deducting taxation allowances via deprecation and negative gearing and adding the costs of rental management your new townhouse investment is in fact cash flow positive. In this example if you were on the top marginal tax rate one could be cash flow positive to the tune of between eight and ten thousand dollars per annum after rental management and maintenance costs depending on the quality of fit out, as this generates the level of claimable depreciation allowances.

This is a much safer way to hold quality income producing property, as not only do you build equity immediately, you also save on stamp duty and GST which combined amounts to around 14% of a new property acquisition. For example had you bought a newly completed townhouse from a developer, you would pay 14% in taxes let alone his profit margin so you are well behind the eight ball before you even start.

There are a lot of better ways to structure your property investment arrangements, which need to be properly explored. Yes there is potentially more work if you undertake this development and hold option on your own, but you will be well rewarded for your effort, and if you buy a property well that has such value adding potential then you reduce risk should there be an untimely property down turn.
