In recent years, the pace of Chinese investment in overseas investment has grown faster and faster. According to data released by the international agency Jones Lang LaSalle, as early as 2013, China’s overseas real estate investment transactions have exceeded the $5 billion mark.

So, who is the main force of overseas real estate investment?
In this regard, experts believe that with the continuous accumulation of wealth of Chinese people, coupled with domestic restrictions on speculative purchases, stock market downturns, narrow investment channels, etc., many investors have turned their eyes to overseas real estate, the new middle class The group is also the main force to buy houses overseas.

For the reasons why Chinese people’s overseas investment enthusiasm has been heating up in recent years, industry experts pointed out: First, most domestic first- and second-tier cities have adopted measures to limit purchases, but most of the most investment-producing properties are concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, so investors can only Turn your eyes to overseas.

Secondly, there are also many investors who are thinking about their future life prospects, such as their children’s education, old-age care and a better living environment. More and more, they are considering the issue of home ownership and overseas settlement.

Finally, in recent months, the depreciation of the renminbi has accelerated, and only by seeking a reasonable allocation of overseas assets can we effectively hedge the risk of devaluation.

Australia is the most popular country for overseas investment in recent years. In the face of overseas real estate investment projects, many Chinese investors are both excited and cautious. So today, let’s talk in detail about the advantages of investing in Australian real estate.
Australian real estate investment advantage

Australia is the most suitable country for human life. It has the most stable political system, pleasant climate, unique and beautiful environment, high-quality cultural infrastructure, highly civilized and prosperous social system and inclusive and open social customs.

In addition to the admirable environmental and social factors, there are several outstanding advantages to investing in Australian properties –
1
Australian Property Ownership Australia is a capitalist country and private ownership is the economic base. The law stipulates that the owner owns the permanent land ownership, not the lease right (the so-called domestic use right, which separates the ownership and use rights, and the right to use is the lease right).

“Permanent property rights” means that you can always enjoy ownership of the land.

If it is a leasehold right, you can only own the land within a certain period of time – in mainland China, the current term is 70 years – the property rights law stipulates that 70 years of land use rights can be automatically renewed, but there is no clear whether to pay a certain fee. Therefore, in the real estate appraisal, the value of real estate after a certain number of years will be reduced.

This problem does not exist in real estate with freehold property. Therefore, the permanent property rights are superior and can sell high prices.

2
When purchasing a deposit for a real estate project in Australia and a down payment to buy a property, regardless of the country, the standard practice is to pay a deposit and down payment first.

This down payment is paid immediately after signing the contract. The amount of the deposit varies from country to country. But in Australia, the legal deposit is 10%, Thailand is 15-30%, China is 30% and so on.

Paying a 10% less deposit to buy Australian property is a big advantage. If you have enough cash, you don’t have to deposit capital in the deposit, but you can invest it in other projects (including real estate projects), so that the same investment amount can get higher investment income.

For the purchase of the 期房, as long as the 10% deposit is delivered at the time of signing the contract, there is no need to pay any fees until the delivery to the house within one to two years of delivery. Therefore, in the process of purchasing the 期房, the advantage of Australia is more reflected.
3
The risk of buying out-of-town housing Frequently asked questions, if the purchase of the 期房, and the developer can not pay the house on time, what will happen to the down payment I paid? Many people mistakenly believe that the seller will use the buyer’s down payment during the construction period according to the domestic operation mode.

In fact, this is not the case – all the down payment in Australia is kept in the lawyer’s trust account (the lawyer’s trust account is the lawyer’s third party for the transaction is used to supervise the transaction, this trust account is supervised by the government, no fault). The money cannot be misappropriated by the developer without your permission. Of course, as a down payment, you are not allowed to use it without the permission of the developer.

If for any reason the developer fails to deliver the property and defaults, all down payment will be refunded to the purchaser in full. This gives you greater protection against the loss of your down payment. So you don’t have to worry about the risk of the developer running away, or the unfinished building – although this kind of thing is hard to find in Australia for a hundred years.
4
A mature legal system Australia has a strong system of verification and checks and balances, as well as a well-respected judicial and law enforcement system.

Australia has an open, effective and transparent legal framework, and Australia’s housing market is heavily regulated by strict national property and consumer laws, guaranteeing that you are fully protected by law as a buyer.

In the event of a dispute, you have the right to hire a professional lawyer to protect you and your property. It can be said that the advantages of most Australian real estate investments that you know are determined by Australia’s well-established legal system.
5
The rental income is high. Australian property has become an attractive investment option because of the strong rental market.

The vacancy rate is at a historical low level all the year round. Investors may receive 5% higher rent income, which ensures that investors get sufficient cash flow.
6
Australia has a high level of property managers who can handle everything from finding the right tenant to post-maintenance and inspection.

In fact, a good property manager not only relieves you of the burden, but if they can find a “good” tenant who cares about your property, it will slow down the depreciation of your furniture and furnishings and other assets.
