UK / Northern Ireland

Had some interesting advice that Belfast in Northern Ireland is now moving up in price albeit very slowly.
But with more tourism etc and the fighting/ troubles being more or less over it will go up very quickly in the next few years.
I have been perusing the Real Estate in Belfast and good returns on 2 bedroom units at $70,000.
I would like to invest there ... Can i go through a Real estate agent here in Sydney ?

I have rung the agent in Belfast a few times.. He if course wanted me to out down a deposit without going over there and looking .
I may have to get a Belfast buyers agent.
Anyone here have real estate in the UK?
My tax will be paid to the UK Govt .

 

Good to see you diversifying from the all of the regional areas of Australia and now to the overseas market

 

what are the returns?
what about the Au$/currency play
do you pay stamp duty ?
have you checked out CGT ? %
PM fees/lease contracts
Structure when buying o/seas

 

I know nothing of the market there, no agents etc, but seeing it got smashed it is likely to grow, so DB in a few years or decades will be King on PC....I see no reason not to have a go if the numbers work for you and you can afford it.
