The reason why every move of Li Ka-shing is interpreted in every possible way, and even becomes a benchmark for many investors, stems from the early success of his "Hong Kong Model" myth. This time, Li Ka-shing's sale of Hong Kong properties and frequent bottom-fishing in Europe indicate that investing in European real estate will be a new opportunity. Affected by the European debt crisis, as European countries have introduced "residency by investment" policies to revitalize their economies and opened their doors to immigration, it is bound to attract a large amount of capital into the real estate market, stimulate housing prices, and drive up prices in the future. Currently, the European property market is at a low point, making it an excellent time for bottom-fishing.
During the "Large-Scale Overseas Property Investment and Immigration Free Consultation Week" held by Worldway at the China National Convention Center from October 30 to November 5, how to bottom-fish in European real estate became one of the most concerned and frequently asked topics by investors.
Since Cyprus set its sights on Chinese investors early last year, countries such as Portugal, Greece, Spain, and Cyprus have successively launched highly attractive residency-by-investment policies. With 500,000 euros for residency in Portugal, 250,000 euros in Greece, 500,000 euros in Spain, and 300,000 euros in Cyprus, Worldway brought thousands of high-quality properties from hundreds of developers to the consultation week. All prices were open and transparent, free of mortgages, vetted by professional lawyers, and provided with seamless end-to-end property purchase services, which were widely welcomed by the audience at the event.
"I believe this preferential policy will only last for three to five years. As European countries emerge from the debt crisis and the euro exchange rate rises, buying property now will surely be profitable in the future. After comparing several options, I feel that Worldway's properties are not only reasonably priced and well-located, but they are also exclusive, ready-to-move-in homes. I am very satisfied," said an investor who has reached a signing intention.
On-site, Worldway experts also emphasized to investors that investing in Europe now is a great opportunity. The European debt crisis has led to severe undervaluation of European assets, and the euro-to-RMB exchange rate is also at a historical low, which provides strong financial support for bottom-fishing in Europe. Under the current situation in Europe, the prices of fixed assets, especially real estate, are at a relatively historical low, and the investment opportunity can be described as a once-in-a-century chance. We hope that investors interested in immigrating to Europe will seize this rare opportunity to achieve both property investment and immigration status.
