We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to

de Pêra one of the Algarve’s most popular locations.
Our exclusively negotiated investment package ensures
that buying a property overseas has never been easier.
Why is the Algarve a great investment location?
The Algarve’s 160 km coastline has some of Europe’s most spectacular beaches, many of
which hold the prestigious Blue Flag award. There are plenty of choice when it comes to
beaches, from broad expanses of white sand, small cove beaches backed by red cliffs,
beaches where cosmopolitan beach parties are a summer constant, to the pristine,
deserted beaches of the Western coast.
The Algarve region can be divided into three fairly distinct areas -East, West and Central
Algarve. The Central Algarve area includes the famous Golden Triangle of Vilamoura, Vale
do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, synonymous with luxury living. To the West , smaller fishing
villages have developed into tourist resorts which set the tone for a more laid-back feel.
The further West you go, the greater the impact of the majestic Atlantic on the
landscape, the beaches, the food and the very air that you breathe. To the East, the
landscape is one of gentle hills, small villages, and miles and miles of golden beaches, dotted with lagoons and sandbanks. The water temperature tends to be higher here, too.
The Algarve has something for everyone. Roman ruins, Moorish castles and traditional
villages. An amazing coastline and ideal conditions for water sports. Over 30 top class golf
courses. Nature trails and parks. Kids theme parks and an international motor racing
circuit. A vast choice of restaurants, bars and clubs. With the naturally courteous
Portuguese as hosts, over 300 days of sunshine per year, delicious local gastronomy and
great wines, a visit here is a memorable experience.
Everybody knows that the Algarve weather is wonderful! With over 3,000 hours of sunshine
per year, the climate is consistently pleasant, with no huge seasonal extremes. While the
Summer is the favourite season for many people, Spring, Autumn and Winter all offer their
own charms. The Algarve is easy to get to, and easy to get around. Flying time from most
of Europe is under 3 hours and private airport transfers from Faro to
your accommodation are good value and easy to book online. The road system has been
considerably improved in recent years which means hiring a car is a great way to
explore. The Algarve has a unique blend of old and new. You can find the ultra-modern
side by side with the traditional and quaint, which is part of it's charm.
The Algarve, Portugal with its endless beaches,
impeccable golf courses and wonderful climate is
the perfect holiday destination. Rich in history,
the quaint and the luxurious side by side, the
natural beauty, great food and warm welcome
charm all visitors.
The Resort of Armação de Pêra
A popular destination among the Portuguese and foreign holidaymakers, Armação de
Pêra is a blend of traditional fishing village with a modern tourist resort. Armação de
Pêra offers all the conveniences of a holiday resort, with ample options in terms of
shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars, not to mention its beautiful sandy beach,
one of the longest in the Algarve, stretching as far as Galé beach on its eastern side.
Running the length in front of the town lies a long stretch of golden sandy beach
between Ponte da Galé and Senhora da Rocha including a backdrop of lime and
sandstone cliffs, caves and coves to explore along the coast. There are boat trips
available that will take in the sights of this golden coastline including the caves hidden
along the shore.
The crystal clarity and calm waters in these parts of the Algarve makes it ideal for
snorkelling and very safe for families to enjoy.
Being in a central location, the town is very close to other popular attractions in the
area including the towns of Pêra, Silves (visit the castle and medieval festival) and
Albufeira(for retail therapy) or Porches. In nearby Guia there is the Zoomarine park
where the whole family can enjoy a dolphin show. Over the summer the beach is host to
an international sand building festival which is also worth a visit.
During the hotter summer months, the population of this town rises several times over
as it is an ever popular holiday destination.

development is just 10km west of Albufeira and only a 40 minute drive from Faro
airport.

Simply put, you should make a substantial income in year 1
leaving you with enough money to cover the mortgage in year
2 even if you choose not to rent your property out in the
second year. However, if you continue to rent your property
year after year the rental income should allow you to
comfortably pay off the capital and repayment mortgage.
Jardins Village Rental Projections

UK, and have a record of achieving high rental returns for Algarve property owners.
They are on hand ton assist our clients wishing to make an income from their
investment at Jardins Village.
Our recommended management company have stated that the expected income your

management costs. This therefore provides you with a huge first year profit as you
have no mortgage to pay for 12 months!
You would also have 22 weeks a year for you to either use personally, receive additional
rental income through other channels or you can decide to take advantage of a
combination of the two.
With no mortgage to pay for the first year, ALL of the income generated will be profit
for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Apartments good value for money?
Yes, we have negotiated a discount to previous prices offered and have been in
negotiation with Montepio Bank regarding their agreement to lend 80% of the newly
discounted purchase price. Prior to this agreement being in place, the bank carried out
their own assessment of the current value of the property to ensure they had no risk
lending this amount against these apartments.
How do I know the new discounted purchase price is genuine and a true reflection
of the current market valuation?
The bank has already instructed their panel of appraisers to value the property on their
behalf for the purpose of lending. The bank was advised that the current value of these
apartments were on or around €120,000 (subject to individual apartment). The Bank has
considered the appraised apartments and have confirmed that they are happy to lend
80% of this figure (which for a €120,000 unit is a mortgage of €96,000) subject to
eligibility.
Due to the financial crisis of recent years it is fair to say that every bank has to have
several procedures in place to protect themselves from risk. They do this by ensuring
that their interests are protected at all times. As a mortgage lender is having the
property valued as collateral for the mortgage, its aim is to estimate how much the
property would sell for on the open market, assuming a sale needed to be achieved
quickly (in case of repossession for example). For this reason, its valuation may be a bit
more conservative than one from an estate agent.
We can therefore be confident that the property is worth at least the €120,000 figure
provided by the bank’s appraisers. It is also a fair assumption that the appraisal
company would themselves value the property conservatively in order to protect their
own position. This is especially true when you consider that the bank could hold the
appraisal company responsible IF the property was overvalued in any way and the bank
were misled into lending more than 80% of the apartment’s true value.
In addition to this process and in order to completely protect our buyers, every
purchaser will have an independent valuation carried out for their specific apartment as
part of the completion process to ensure that the ultimate purchase price is 100%
genuine.
Do I need to put down a 20% deposit?
In a standard property transaction between a buyer and a seller (in this case, ‘you’ and
the ‘developer’), you would ordinarily be asked to pay the difference between the
mortgage available and the purchase price (this being 20%). However, the developer has
agreed to pay the deposit on your behalf therefore saving you around €24,000.
So how do I make money by purchasing this apartment?
The developer has agreed to pay the 20% deposit on behalf of our buyers so that they can be
sold quickly. The bank will lend you €96,000 (80% mortgage) to help you purchase the property,
which we can be sure is worth at least €120,000.
In simple terms, you are therefore buying a property for €120,000 and only borrowing €96,000
in order to do so. This ensures that you achieve instant equity of 20% - which equates to
approximately €24,000.
This is obviously a fantastic way for you to benefit immediately by purchasing this property
however the savings do not end there. The additional financial benefits to purchasing an
apartment will be explained in the remainder of this document.
Do I need to furnish the apartment and have air conditioning installed so that it is ready for
use?
We have negotiated for the developer to hand over the apartments with a full furniture pack
AND air conditioning already installed. This provides you with a saving of around €8,000.
The furniture pack is “rent ready”. Its content and quality has been approved by our
recommended management company so there will be no issues with the potential rental of your
property.
All of this ensures that the apartments are ready for use immediately once the purchase
process is complete.
Are the properties already built and ready for occupation?
Each of the properties are fully completed and will be fully furnished so they are ready for
occupation as soon as the legal purchase is complete.
Are there any legal risks to me purchasing this property?
As part of our package, every single one of our buyers will have an independent local legal firm
acting on their behalf to ensure a safe and legitimate purchase process.
Can I rent out the property to earn an income?
Absolutely. These properties are extremely appealing to the rental market and therefore the
potential rental income is considerable. We have sourced a local management and rental
company for our purchasers to consider. Whilst we recommend that buyers use this company
to secure lettings for their property, it is important for us to confirm that there is no obligation
to use them. In addition to the management company that we have sourced, there are other
options to consider including letting the property privately, listing with other rental agents to
maximise the rental income or simply keeping the property for personal use. It is our
expectation that the majority of buyers will consider a combination of these options as the best
way to maximise their income.

How does the cashback work?
We always negotiate the very best package for our clients and this is no exception. We are
delighted to confirm that we have persuaded the developer to pay your first years mortgage
payments up front on your behalf, therefore leaving you with NO mortgage repayments over
the first 12 months of ownership.
Should you wish to rent your property out over this period of time our recommended
management company have stated that the expected income your apartment would generate
from just 30 weeks would be around €7,000 NET of management costs. This therefore
provides you with an estimated profit of €7,000 (NET of all costs) after the first year plus
any additional rental income generated.
You would also have 22 weeks during the first year for you to either use personally, receive
additional rental income through other channels or you can decide to take advantage of a
combination of the two.
With no mortgage to pay for the first 1 year, ALL of the income generated will be profit for
you.
How does the income versus the expenditure for the apartment look from Year 2
onwards)?
You will of course have access to the ‘cashback’ received whilst the developer makes the first
years mortgage payments. How you use it is completely up to you but we would recommend
you keep it in Portugal to have a safety net should you need it.
However, having said that... if you were to consider just the rental income from year 2
onwards versus the annual outgoings (including mortgage repayment) you would see that the
income would cover your expenditure.
Therefore at the end of the mortgage term (usually 25 years) you would have the mortgage
paid off and you would own a fantastic property completely unencumbered. It’s the perfect
mid to long term investment.
Could I buy the property and then sell it quickly to achieve a profit?
This would be possible as you will have purchased the property with an instant equity of
€24,000 however, we as a company believe in mid to long term investment and we would say
that whilst the income achieved is paying off your mortgage you should hold onto the property
for as long as possible as it will no doubt continue to appreciate in value over time.
Please be advised that there is an early repayment fee of 0.5% of the mortgage balance should
you wish to sell the property before the end of the mortgage term.
Frequently Asked Questions Cont.
Are there any hidden costs for me to purchase this property?
No. The developer has agreed to pay all the usual closing costs relating to purchase tax i.e.
Stamp Duty (equivalent), IMT Tax (property transfer tax) this usually works out to be 8% of the
purchase price. This is an additional saving of €9,600.
The fees you pay us to reserve the property also cover legal fees, mortgage arrangement fees
and fiscal costs. They also act as a contribution to the furniture & air conditioning. You may
have to put €750 in your mortgage account for activation but you can reimburse that almost
immediately.
There are no other costs or fees to be paid.
What’s the catch? Why would the developer sell it with such a discount/package?
We work with a number of banks and their developers. We negotiate investment packages to
ensure a quick sale. In this case the developer is keen to sell the remaining units in order to
move onto a new development.
Although it’s costing the developer a large portion of their profit, it allows them to move on to
their next development. The package allows us to sell the properties quickly and effectively.
For your part you secure a property well below its current value whilst receiving the benefit of
savings totalling over €40,000!
How do I check my eligibility for finance?
Before you commit to any purchase we ask all clients to complete a Preliminary Mortgage
Application (PMA). Once we have been e-mailed your completed PMA, it is submitted to the
lender who will issue you with a Decision in Principle based on the figures you provide. This
procedure is carried out with the aim of giving our clients (and us) peace of mind when paying
to reserve a unit that the agreed level of finance will be offered to you once you complete a
formal application. Please be advised that the PMA process is free of charge and does not
obligate you in any way to purchase.
If you would like to find out more about the investment offered, or would like to proceed with a Preliminary mortgage application please do not hesitate to contact us
