Brazil
Brazil is the world’s prime investment location and has been generating excitement within the investing world for some time. Already Latin America’s largest economy, Brazil is one of the world’s four most dynamic global economies, along with Russia, India and China. Goldsmith Sachs has tipped Brazil and the other ‘BRIC’ nations as having economies that will lead the world by the year 2050, overtaking the current economic powerhouses. Brazil enjoys one of the most stable economies in Latin America, with steady inflation, falling unemployment and interest rates at the lowest level in recent menory. Foreign direct investment is at an all-time high and the private sector is booming as a result. This impressive economic climate is in part due to Brazil’s stability, as well as the Brazilian government’s ongoing commitment to national infrastructure improvements. Brazil has seen successful global campaigns to raise its tourism profile in recent years, and tourism numbers are rising rapidly. Little wonder, considering the breathtaking natural resources the country has to offer; not to mention its unrivalled climate and miles of unspoiled palm-lined beaches. The Football World Cup in 2014 is set to further boost the country’s tourism, as Brazil has been chosen as the host country. Not only will the tourism sector benefit directly, but so will the country’s infrastructure, as has been the case in host countries of the past. The investment into this infrastructure will significantly increase Brazil’s GDP in 2014 and for the years that follow. The general cost of living in Brazil is a fraction of that in the United Kingdom and Europe and foreign investors also get to benefit from property maintenance costs that are far lower than in most of Europe.
Just some of Brazils many benefits are:
- Booming economy and stable political climate
- Investment-friendly government that actively encourages foreign investors
- Healthy tourism setctor, set to grow further over the coming years
- Unbeatable climate with around 300 days of sunshine per year
- Low cost of living and real estate at incredibly low prices
- Idyllic natural landscape, with over 3,000km of beautiful beaches
The North-East
Brazil’s booming tourism sector is widely tipped to continue enjoying steady growth for years to come. The north-east area in particular has seen massive increases in both tourist arrivals and investment into the region’s real estate of late. Experts agree that within a few years north-east Brazil will be at the top of the world’s list of holiday destinations as well as investment locations, It is already becoming one of the most popular areas for second-home purchasers, along with the more traditional and more expensive locations, such as Spain and France. Those in-the-know have long viewed property in Brazil to be a canny investment and now the word is spreading, with more and more people realising the country’s outstanding potential and wanting to get involved. Brazil has taken its place as one of the world’s leading investment locations.
Joao Pessoa and Paraiba
Joao Pessoa is an ancient city steeped in history and rich in culture. Founded in the 16th century, it is the third-oldest city in Brazil, a fact still evident to this day in the city’s amazing array of baroque architecture, spectacular churches and ornate convents. The city has a pleasing mix of old and new, with its buildings dating back to the XV111 century standing alongside cosmopolitan bars and restaurants. Visitors can trawl markets selling traditional Brazilian handicrafts by day, and dance the night away in nightclubs playing the best modern samba. Joao Pessoa is the capital of the state of Paraiba. It is known as the “city of the first light” due to its geographical location; as the eastern-most tip of South America, it sees the sun rise before anywhere else on the continent. Its tropical location also ensures its landscape is pure paradise, with miles of white sandy beaches on its coast and seven square kilometres of forest inland. Indeed, it is said to be the second greenest city in the world after Paris. The climate is an enviable 27 degrees all year round. Paraiba is one of the most beautiful states in Brazil, home to the picture-postcard beach scenes that the country is renowned for. Its mix of tropical coastline and cities of culture make it a highly popular holiday desitination. This region is experiencing rapid growth and is attracting domestic as well as international interest. Paraiba is set to offer some of the most impressive returns on investment in the next few years. The state’s existing natural beauty, coupled with the planned investment and development, has resulted in Paraiba becoming one of Brazil’s most exciting areas for investment and tourism.
Jacuma
Jacuma is a picturesque seaside village that has evolved into a bustling and lively resort without having sacrificed any of its tranquility or charm. Its many white sandy beaches are still unspolit and far from over-run, and the coastline is unmarred by high-rises, with lines of coconut palms dotted along the shore. Jacuma’s increasing popularity among international travellers and domestic visitors alike has resulted in an array of new bars, restaurants, shops and pousadas (Brazilian boutique hotels). However, Jacuma’s history as a sleepy fishing community can be felt in the general calm and peacefulness of the village, as well as in the number of small fishing boats that can be watched from one of Jacuma’s many beautiful beaches. The Brazilian government has put aside R$49 million to invest into Jacuma’s surrounding area, including two planned championship golf courses. This pledged investment is set to place Jacuma firmly on the map for tourists and investors alike.

The airport also links the area with all the major cities in Brazil. The traveller has even more choice given that two more international airports are nearby, at Natal and Recife.
Rental Market
The popularity of the north-east region of Brazil is creating a rental market with huge potential returns. The area has become a well-developed holiday destination with increasing tourist numbers every year. The fantastic climate, natural beauty and extensive tourist attractions of the region mean that furnished apartments in good locations can expect high rental occupancy. It is reasonable to expect that a fully-furnished property in a resort such as Oasis do Mar could see occupancy for around 30 weeks of the year, possibly for even longer.
Domestic Tourism
The North-east is not only popular with international tourists but also with Brazilians themselves. The area has long been an attrractive holiday destination for residents of Brazilian cities such as Rio de Janeiro and its accessibility has made it a perfect haven from the bustle of city life. In only a two-hour flight, the hectic pace of Rio is replaced by the tranquil beaches of the North-east. While the rest of the world has recently become aware of the north-east of Brazil as a holiday destination, the Brazilians themselves have been loyally visiting the area for many years. The region houses many sought after resorts and boutique hotels, and sailing, surfing and water-sports enthusiasts have been coming to the area for their active holidays for some time. Paraiba itself has traditionally been a favourite of Brazilians wanting to get away from it all by visiting the state’s stunning beaches.
Inceasing Wealth
Brazil is seeing an increase in domestic wealth with the emergence of a new, well-off middle class. This has led to an increase in demand for good-quality housing, with more construction evident in key areas of the country and house prices increasing at a steady pace. Not only are the newly wealthy demanding more housing and better quality accommodation, but they are also looking for second homes in the popular coastal areas such as the North-east. This is increasing demand for accommodation in these areas, and subsequently raising property prices, quite apart from the bugeoning international interest. Brazil’s dual demand from both an international and domestic market has piqued the interest of professional investors. The country represents a new and exciting market while also providing stability and security where other emerging markets do not. As a result, experts are predicting excellent investment returns from the Brazilian real estate market.
Purchasing a Property
Real estate in north-east Brazil is seeing average annual capital appreciation of over 20%. The most popular type of real estate investment in the country is off-plan: purchasing a property that is not yet built. This is ideal for the international investor as buying prior to or during construction means the purchase price is usually far lower than that of a fully constructed or re-sale property. Construction of most developments in Brazil takes around two years and the value of these properties while they are in the construction phase is usually only 50% of their value on completion. In addition to this outstanding potential for return on investment, the off-plan investor gets far more selection when choosing the right property on the development for them. They may also get to influence the design and specifications of their property. Taxation that could affect the purchaser of a Brazilian property includes general real estate tax which is levied at 1% for apartments and villas and at 1.5% for plots; rental tax which is levied at 15%; inheritance tax at 4%; and capital gains tax, which in Brazil is levied at 15%.
How To Buy?
Buying at Oasis do Mar is very easy, the straighforward purchase process provides full security for the buyer. The simple 5-stage purchase procedure is as follows;
- A reservation contract must be completed and a reservation payment of €3,000 made
- The reservation contract will then be forwarded to the client’s chosen international lawyer
- The client and their lawyer will be presented with a Private Purchase Contract and details of the due diligence report
- The Private Purchase Contract should be signed and returned within 14 days of receipt. The initial 40% (minus the €3,000 reservation fee) must be transferred to the developer within 14 days
- The remaining 60% will be due on completion.
*Properties are purchased in the Brazilian Real from R$267,300. Quoted price of €99,000 is based upon exchange rate of R$2.7 to the Euro. Currency fluctuation at the time of purchase may increase or decrease the quoted price.
