| | | Made A Million But Not Enough For A Monaco Property | | Posted Saturday, November 11, 2006 1:34:33 PM by Blog57 Team | | Property prices in Monaco could rise steeply in the next couple of years, and Europe's favourite tax haven could be out of reach for some millionaires, according to a Monte Carlo travel guide. Different recent surveys have all been good indicators for Monaco, with more people likely to apply for residency and buy real estate in Monaco. Buyers from the UK in particular are expected to rise in number. Commenting on the findings, travel guide for Monaco http://www.yourmonaco.com say 'While we would like perhaps to imagine that it's the fine cuisine and good Monte Carlo weather that is attracting the British to Monaco, we know realistically that it is because residency entitles them to a zero rated income tax. One survey says that the number of millionaires in the UK will increase four fold in the coming years, and the UK has become a very important market for Monaco real estate recently - that will boost prices as the demand feeds through.... | |

Competition intensified as supermarkets including Wal-Mart Inc.'s Asda expanded their clothes offer and Associated British Foods Plc's Primark chain opened more stores.... | |

While the British have been players in the region for nearly two hundred years, with Nice just along the coast being a favourite resort of the genteel Victorian English - in recent years the British have held a presence in Monaco, but now they're back in numbers not seen for over a century. The new wave of British buyers is welcomed by Monaco real estate agents as their funds are more likely to be legitimately earned, while some of the 90's Russian cash was often a little suspect. 'Things have changed since the 90's when the Russian mafia were the big players in town', explains Roger Munns, Managing Director of Monaco property specialists Tribune Properties, 'Then it was easy to put a few million cash down for a property and not have questions asked.... | |
