			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Owning a property in the Caribbean is, for many of us, the ultimate dream. The mere idea of being able to walk from your house on the palm-fringed, white sandy beaches lapped gently by the waves of the clear blue sea is one that brings to mind an extremely luxurious. Equally, this is an image that most of us think will never be economically within our grasp, but with recent market changes, the dream could come true.</p>
<p>The most important development in the past six months has been the weakening of the US Dollar against Sterling, which has made property across the US much more affordable for UK buyers. While most of the Caribbean islands have their own currencies, or have a shared currency between groups of islands, they are intrinsically linked to the US Dollar, and therefore to the fortunes of the US economy.</p>
<p>Given that the exchange rate is still roughly two Dollars to the Pound, the opportunities for real estate investors in the Caribbean islands are extensive. The current weakness of the US currency makes your money go further than it did this time last year, bringing properties into financial approach that would previously have been too expensive.</p>
<p>With the deals that are available from the specialist currency exchange companies in the market, it is possible to freeze the current exchange rate for up to two years into the future. Even if the Dollar regains its original strength before you come to pay the final installment on your new-build property, you will be protected from the fluctuations of the money markets and have the advantage of knowing exactly how much the property will cost you. Moreover, should the US currency and economy pick up significantly in the next couple of years; you will have made a capital gain from prices rising even before you have set foot in the property.</p>
<p>The second factor making property in the Caribbean much more affordable for more UK property buyers is that the range and types of development that are now available on the islands is far greater. Bermuda is still the most expensive place to buy in the Caribbean, followed by Grand Bahama and Barbados, where plots of land are sold for more than posh family homes in other parts of the world. This is where the sumptuous luxury of most Caribbean dreams is to be found.</p>
<p>However, looking elsewhere in the Caribbean, the property can be found on other islands for much less than you might expect. With more developments of apartments and smaller properties available in these locations, and offers for off-plan purchases to encourage investors, there are great opportunities. The Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Aruba are among the least expensive islands, and with the major part of the US investment market quiet in its time of economic shrinkage, there are deals to be done with agents and developers.</p>
<p>Perhaps the one caveat to the optimism of the Caribbean real estate market is the rising cost of flying to destinations that are further afield than mainland Europe as fuel costs spiral. This is something that needs to be taken into account in your budget calculations for buying real estate in the Caribbean, but if you are looking to spend a considerable amounts of time there, or even retire there in the future, the opportunities are well worth considering as an alternative to the more traditional expat destinations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have an intention of buying a property in the Caribbean, that is not as simple as you think. Buying Caribbean property is not same as a walk into your travel agent&#8217;s office and then ordering a ticket to the Caribbean. There are actually more things worth considering to buy Caribbean property than meets the eye. What gives?</p>
<p>Take buying Barbados Real Estate for instance. You may be surprised to find out that you cannot pursue full-time formal work while you are on any Caribbean Island. This means that over 7,000 islands in the Caribbean region permit foreigners to buy property, stay for a certain period of time, but few will allow you to work while you are there. On the Bahamas however, you can get a homeowner&#8217;s permit so you can legally stay on your property but you are not permitted to work. On the other hand, the Calcos and the Turks will grant a foreigner a visa good for five years provided he can do work that an island national cannot perform.</p>
<p>Buying Caribbean Property has become easier anyway because the Caribbean islands local government leaders have opened up their territories for investment by foreign nationals. If you are buying property in Barbados, then you have to register first with the Central Bank of Barbados as your legal adherence to the existing rules and regulation in the place. You can expect to pay from 1% to 2.5% in legal fees when buying Barbados Real Estate.</p>
<p>Buying Property in Barbados can be quite costly though, so it is not for the faint-hearted or a weak wallet buyer. For instance, buying Property in Barbados&#8217; Sugar Hill area may cost you $293,000 if you are buying a one-bedroom apartment. If you want a fancy a 3-bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, completely enclosed gardens, and a grand view of the nearby coastline, be prepared to shell out a total of $750,000. And for the ones who really have the moolah, a five-bedroom property beside the beach will run to as much as $7,750,000 total.</p>
<p>Buying Caribbean Property really has great perks that could motivate you to purchase your own someday. You can enjoy pretty comfortable weather, climate and temperatures year-round here. Sunshine practically never ends, the beaches are clean and sandy, and the scenery all around you may convince you never to leave (or at least keep extending your vacation until your boss rings you up frantically on your mobile phone wondering if you are ever coming back to work). While it’s fascinating to stay in the Caribbeans, it’s important to consider the weather too. Watch out for possible heavy rains or tornadoes when purchasing the best estate in the islands.</p>
<p>If you start researching on buying Barbados Real Estate or simply just buying Caribbean Property, you may want to look further just your options on Barbados and examinate the other Caribbean islands and alternative options. Some Caribbean islands may also regulate some restriction on purchases by foreigners, for example, barring foreigners from owning properties like condos, so you need to check this carefully if it falls into your case.</p>
