Aan markt, markt - kopen en wonen in Marokko

Faring beter onder wereldwijde recessie voorwaarden, is Marokko nu een van de meest stabiele economieën in Noord-Afrika. Een jeugdige en progressieve koning Mohammed VI heeft enthousiast omarmd economische ontwikkeling en wetten om investeringen in onroerend goed gemakkelijker maken voor buitenlanders, die een matrix van fiscale stimulansen zoals lage CGT, geen erfenis belasting en geen belasting eigenschap voor de eerste vijf jaar is veranderd.

Zijn ambitieuze toeristische project Vision 2010 heeft tot doel om aan te trekken 10 miljoen bezoekers per jaar naar het land waar Engels, Frans en Spaans zijn gesproken, en is verantwoordelijk voor een uitgebreid programma van resort ontwikkeling, zoals het vlaggenschip Mediterranea Saidia aan de noordkust.

In de afgelopen tien jaar hebben huizenprijzen meer dan verdubbeld in Marokko, met name in de populaire steden van Tanger, Marrakech, Fez, Rabat en Casablanca. Kopers hebben de optie van een oudere eigenschap, zoals de traditionele Marokkaanse townhouse, of 'riad' die kan worden gevonden in de Medina van de oude steden, of een Europese koloniale stijl huis (hoge plafonds, cool ruimten, luiken, aangelegde tuinen) normaal gevonden in speciale ontwikkeling zones aan de rand van de steden, of een eigenschap binnen een van de grote mediterrane stijl resort ontwikkelingen met faciliteiten, zoals zwembaden, winkels en restaurants.

Een eigenschap behoefte aan werk kunt kosten van 50.000 pond naar boven, terwijl een gerenoveerde riad u terug om het even wat van 150.000 pond meer dan een miljoen pond instellen kunt. Maar Shaws bedrijf potentiële kopers door het hele proces kan begeleiden. "Elite Marokko eigenschappen hebben een team gewijd aan sourcing de beste riad kansen en wij kunnen u helpen met alles uit juridisch advies aan renovatie aan management, verhuur en zelfs de verkoop van uw afgewerkte riad."

Waar en wat u koopt, zegt Michael Kent van Marokkaanse Sands, het onroerend goed bedrijf marketing de Blue Pearl Golf Resort in Saidia, zorg ervoor dat u goed advies. "Het is vrij eenvoudig om te kopen van onroerend goed in Marokko en er zijn goede fiscale voordelen," zegt Kent, "maar zorg ervoor dat u een goede onafhankelijke lokale advocaat met kennis van het Marokkaanse systeem. Ook moet u ervoor zorgen dat alle betalingen die u voor de eigenschap gaan in Marokko. Dit vergemakkelijkt repatriëring van de winst veel."

Marokkaanse toerisme vlaggenschip Plan Azur project biedt luxueuze resort wonen in de overheid gesteunde Saidia ontwikkeling, die verbonden in plaats heeft ter dekking van een storing door ontwikkelaars. Er is ook een 15-jarige neen-build garantie op de omgeving zodat de waarde van eigenschappen kan niet worden afgezwakt door copycat ontwikkelingen. Met winkels, restaurants, sport en recreatieve faciliteiten, jachthavens, golfbanen, aangelegde tuinen en natuurlijk mijlen en mijlen van stranden, Saidia is op het centrum van de King's Vision 2010 programma, en hij vaak bezoekt om te controleren de voortgang. Een verscheidenheid van huisstijlen zijn beschikbaar, van appartementen tot penthouses en villa's, basisgewicht van ongeveer 100.000 pond.

Als het gaat om budgettering, bijvoorbeeld op een £100.000 onroerend goed moet u zou toestaan voor ongeveer zes tot zeven procent ter dekking zegelrecht, advocaat en notariskosten, kadaster en agent vergoedingen. Dus met links door de lucht verbetering van de hele tijd, een glorieuze klimaat het hele jaar door en een exotische en kleurrijke cultuur, toelijken Marokko volmaakt voor Britten op zoek naar enkele gegarandeerde winterzon.

Au marché, au marché - achat et vivant au Maroc

En tirent mieux dans des conditions de la récession mondiale, Maroc est aujourd'hui une des économies plus stables en Afrique du Nord. Un roi jeune et progressif, Mohammed VI a accueilli avec enthousiasme la développement économique et a changé les lois pour faciliter les investissements immobiliers des étrangers, un offrant des incitations fiscales telles que la CGT faible, aucun impôt sur les successions et aucun impôt foncier pour les cinq premières années.

Son projet touristique ambitieux Vision 2010 vise à attirer 10 millions de visiteurs par an dans le pays où l'anglais, Français et espagnol sont largement parlés et est responsable d'un vaste programme de développement de la villégiature, tels que le phare Mediterranéa Saïdia sur la côte Nord.

Dans les dix dernières années, le prix des maisons ont plus que doublé en Maroc, particulièrement dans les villes populaires de Tanger, Marrakech, Fès, Rabat et Casablanca. Les acheteurs ont la possibilité d'une propriété plus ancienne, comme la maison marocaine traditionnelle, ou « riad » que l'on retrouve dans les médinas des villes anciennes, ou une maison de style colonial européenne (hauts plafonds, espaces cool, volets roulants, jardins paysagers) normalement présents dans les zones de développement spécial à la périphérie des villes, ou une propriété dans un des développements gros de station méditerranéenne avec des équipements tels que des piscines, boutiques et restaurants.

Une propriété dans le besoin de travail peut coûter de 50 000 £ vers le haut, alors qu'un riad rénové réglable vous retour quoi que ce soit entre 150 000 £ et plus de 1 million de livres. Mais la compagnie de Shaw peut guider les acheteurs potentiels à travers l'ensemble du processus. « Elite Maroc propriétés ont une équipe dédiée au sourcing des meilleures opportunités de riad et nous pouvons vous aider avec tout, des conseils juridiques à la rénovation de la gestion, la location et même la vente de votre riad fini. »

Où et quoi que vous achetez, dit Michael Kent des sables marocains, la société immobilière marketing Blue Pearl Golf Resort à Saidia, assurez-vous que vous prenez de bons conseils. « C'est assez simple d'acheter une propriété au Maroc et il existe des avantages fiscaux bon, » dit Kent, mais assurez-vous que vous utilisez un bon avocat local indépendant avec connaissances du système marocain. Vous devez également vous assurer que tous les paiements que vous faites pour la propriété aller au Maroc. Cela facilite le rapatriement des profits. »

Projet de Plan Azur phare du tourisme marocain vous propose de luxueux resort vivant dans le développement de Saidia soutenues par le gouvernement, qui a des pactes en place pour couvrir les fautes commises par les développeurs. Il y a aussi une garantie de non-construction de 15 ans sur les enceintes ambiophoniques afin que la valeur des propriétés ne peuvent pas être diluée par les développements copycat. Avec boutiques, restaurants, installations sportives et de loisirs, ports de plaisance, jardins paysagers, des cours de golf et bien sûr miles et des miles de plages, Saidia est au centre du programme 2010 de la Vision du roi, et il se rend souvent pour suivre les progrès accomplis. Une variété de styles de maison sont disponibles, des appartements, penthouses et villas, commençant à environ 100 000 £.

Quand il s'agit de budgétisation, sur une propriété de 100 000 £ par exemple, vous devez permettre à environ six à sept pour cent pour couvrir les droits de timbre, avocat et frais de notaire, cadastre et honoraires des mandataires. Avec liens par air améliorer tout le temps, un climat toute l'année glorieux et une culture exotique et colorée, Maroc semble donc parfait pour les britanniques à la recherche de soleil hiver garanti.

What To Look Out For When You Re Buying Travel Books

Surely everyone loves a good travel book but sometimes they can be disappointing, more often, say, than a recipe or handcraft book. There are ways to avoid missing the bus.

Before forking out dollars for a travel book, ask yourself the following: am I in love with the idea of this book or the book itself? Take for example a book entitled “Gorgeous Morocco”. Are you in love with the idea of glorious Morocco or the book you are holding in your hand? To establish this you need to ask: what is the purpose of buying this book?

If you are planning a trip to Morocco and it’s nuts-and-bolts information you are seeking, then it is no good buying the incoherent ramblings of a traveling school teacher in the 1950's. It’s also no good being attracted by the photographs, because photos do lie and hardly constitute hard information. If you are simply keen on reading and learning about Morocco in general, then a book written from any angle will do, unless it is something completely off-beam, like a book written in the 1920's by a missionary, called “How I Converted Four Heathens In Morocco”.

If it’s useful travel information you are after, ask yourself: is this book up to date and properly researched? If you are holding a book called “Mainland Greece”, for instance, do a quick test. Think of a town in mainland Greece you know, such as Thrace, and see how quickly it takes to locate the section on Thrace and how useful the information is concerning accommodation, transport, restaurants, attractions, etc.

Easy-to-navigate handbooks with great indexes are just the ticket. They should be compact, so you can fit them in your hand luggage and cheap enough that if you lose them you don’t mind. The rule of thumb is that a few illustrative photographs are good – they show serious intent on the part of author and publisher to inform you – but too many photographs diminish the quality and quantity of the usable information. There should be concise historical nuggets and handy insider travel tips. There should also be complementary online resources listed for up-to-the-minute information.

If it’s not practical information you are after, but you want to feed your travel dreams and inform yourselves about countries through the ages then ask: who wrote this book? There has been a “colonization” of countries through travel writing. I mean that certain writers in English writing have become inextricably linked with writings about certain countries. They are quite simply the last word on the subject.

Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller colonized Greece. Lawrence of Arabia colonized Arabia, Robert Lacey colonized Saudi Arabia. William Dalrymple colonized Byzantium and Delhi. The Durrells colonized Corfu. Bill Bryson colonized Australia and rural America. Lisa St. Aubin de Ter
