Brazil attracts younger buyers

Buying a second home abroad used to be the domain of the neighbours’ chat over the proverbial garden fence and the need to find out what the Jones’ were up to. Now it is a common topic of conversation amongst bright young things in trendy cafés and bars who are keeping up with the latest hip and happening emerging property markets.

A study carried out on the overseas property market by Datamonitor for Overseas Property Professional magazine (the largest of its kind ever undertaken in the UK and Ireland) found that younger buyers, who are increasingly driving the market, are looking to Brazil, Egypt and Croatia due to their high yields. And, last month the head of a major real estate equity fund, named Brazil as the world's most interesting developing property market. (don’t want to advertise these guys as don’t know what they are about)

For sexy, sassy, and incredibly beautiful, look no further than the mouth-watering bounty on offer in Brazil, which is known across the globe for its fantastic beaches, flamboyant carnivals, steamy nightlife, booty-shaking music and exciting culture. Natal in the Northeast is the new hotspot in Brazil that everyone is talking about and it has all this and more in spades. The savvy investor can enjoy incredibly competitive property prices starting from as little as £40,000. Whether you are looking for a place to live, to holiday, to rent out, or simply to invest in for the future, the obvious choice is, increasingly, Brazil.

Samantha Gore, Head of Sales & Marketing for Brazilian property experts uv10, comments, “We have first-hand proof that Brazil is definitely attracting younger buyers and, in fact, amongst hip twenty and thirty-somethings, emerging property markets such as Brazil which offer very high yields are fast becoming the ‘pensions of the 21st century’. Brazil, particularly the trendy towns such as Pipa close to Natal, appeals to the young on price, nightlife, sporting activities from dune buggy rides to kite-surfing, year-round sunshine and a low cost of living meaning of course cheap alcohol and food of a freshness and quality rarely seen in the UK.

If you fancy a piece of the action then the aptly named Pipa Paradise - a beautiful cliff-top resort in one of the most desirable locations in Pipa, (considered the jewel in the crown of Rio Grande do Norte)– is the perfect place to begin your search for competitively priced, idyllic property. Perched on a front-line plot atop Pipa's famous and breathtakingly beautiful Praia do Amor (Love Beach); this remarkable development is brought to you by Natal's foremost developer, and available through uv10.

This is one of the very few front.line residences in Pipa, located on the prestigious Chapadao. One half of this stylish development offers beautiful low-rise 2-bedroom apartments from only £67,000 looking out towards the winding swimming pools and the Atlantic beyond. The other half offers exclusive, private waterfront three bedroom villas from £145,000 all with financing up to the end of 2009. Still on pre-release on the European market only, the project is already 60% sold and will be officially launched on the Brazilian market in February.

The project offers a wide range of top-class amenities on-site including; a modern restaurant, relaxing bar, 2 large swimming pools, tennis courts, spa with massage and sauna, fitness centre, children's playground, mini-market, rental management and 24hr security as well as shuttle service into town (just a 15 minute walk away) and property management and rentals.

In Pipa village itself you will find a fabulous range of top quality restaurants, designer boutiques and bars, all with a laid-back, distinctly Brazilian feel.
