Romania offers properties built to British standards

Romania is a fast growing country which is attracting interest from UK investors keen to be on the first rung in a country with enormous capital growth potential.

“Britons are discovering that Europe’s Eastern frontier has much to offer”, says Anda Giorgio of Romanian Property Connections Ltd, specialist in Romania and members of FOPDAC (Federation of Overseas Property Developers, Agents and Consultants).

What is also attracting investors is The Marisia EcoSpa Resort which is being built to British standards right down to three pin plug sockets! The resort is being constructed to be as ecologically sensitive and sustainable as possible. The whole resort will provide log cabins from sustainable forestry with underfloor heating from woodchip fired boilers. Using a variety of energy solutions the resort will offer solar and wind power to rainwater entrapment and grey water recycling.

Marisia EcoSpa hopes to be an important example of a sustainable business model in this fast developing new EU member state. The resort is located in the Mures River Valley area of Ideciu de Jos chosen because of its unique magnesic muds and chlorosodic mineral waters.

“The Marisia Eco-Spa Resort represents a marvellous opportunity for Britons looking for a sound investment in holiday property abroad”, continues Anda “It is perfect as an investment in the booming Romanian market for domestic tourism and Transylvania’s emergence as an international holiday destination and property investment hotspot”.

Steve Emmett, Chairman of FOPDAC says,” As with all emerging countries there is an element of speculation. Unlike more traditional investment countries such as Spain and Portugal there is no record of capital growth or rental returns but nevertheless as Europe opens up, there are opportunities for speculative investment which could prove dramatically beneficial.

FOPDAC has been operating over 30 years and all our members are carefully vetted so that a buyer committing their finances know that the company with whom they are dealing has passed our stringent criteria. The Federation was formed to protect purchasers from unscrupulous agents and developers and its importance within the industry has never been so great.

We ensure that members satisfy the committee as to their suitability and thereby ensure that purchasers are protected”.
