Here are five of the most important things to think about when buying land in Brazil by Dale Anderson at Experience International

Research Price of Land – Land prices can differ quite a lot and although cheaper plots may seem tempting at first however they might not provide the best return on investment. Check prices of similar plots in similar areas to determine that you are paying the right market price per square metre.

Make Sure the Development Has Planning Permissions – Land that has the planning permissions in place has a higher value and investment potential for those who require an investment with less risk so check with the local land registry if the land and plots has the necessary permissions or if they will be easily approved.

However if you are looking at land with no planning permission but is very low priced with a good likelihood that planning permission will be given then this could also be a good speculative investment, however proceed with caution.

Location, Location, Location – The right location does not necessarily mean a beachfront environment. Look for essential factors like accessibility (air and road), established infrastructure, good amenities nearby and demand for accommodation either from the local or holiday home market.

Appoint an experienced English talking Brazilian lawyer – The buying procedure in Brazil does not have to be complicated if you use a good agent and lawyer who know the process. Hiring an experienced legal representative can cost around £700 and you can provide them with the power of attorney enabling the lawyer to sign and notarise on your behalf eaning you they don’t even have to visit Brazil. When sending funds I suggest using an FX partner such as Voltrex, securing the rate in the UK and transferring the monies into Brazilian Reals.

Workout a Real exit strategy – They key to most successful investments is to have an exit strategy. With Brazil land for sale there are various exit strategies available; investors can opt to build a property on their plot and sell in a few years for a sizable profit as the cost of building is quite low. The other strategy is to just keep the land for a number of years and then sell it on to investors at a higher price as the value of land are anticipated to increase by about 30% per annum over the next few years in Brazil.

A number of Brazil land investment opportunities are currently on offer in north east Brazil. You can acquire 250 sqm plots with full infrastructure and permission to plan already in place available at Caponga Beach from R$39,000 (£13,448) or another popular option near the ancient city of Joao Pessoa, is the eco-friendly 5* Tambaba Country Club Resort offers 450 sqm plots of prime Brazilian real estate with an investment from £3,600 with a 5 year interest free payment plan and high return on investment of 148% after 5 years.
