Issue 1

Welcome to the first edition of the exciting, informative and totally FREE Jet-to-Let Magazine. We believe that this will become the foremost investment magazine for the overseas property market and request your feedback to help us develop the features you would like to see and hear about.

In this edition, we introduce you to the driving forces behind the buy-to-let phenomenon, offer some balanced views on 3 of the top overseas investment destinations (Cyprus, Crete and Morocco) and take a closer look at the basic economic principles governing the investment decisions we make.

Throughout the course of the series we will take investors through the key economic terms, explaining what they are, how they affect us and how to negate any adverse effects. We will also bring you the latest news and information from around the world, including regular features and tips from our resident mortgage expert. We hope you enjoy this, our first foray into publishing.

In this edition of the Magazine, we turn our focus to investment opportunities in Germany, Bulgaria and the evergreen Spain. We welcome you to our new ‘special features’ section, where we take a closer look at the 3000 results we received in response to a random survey. We will be carefully monitoring how these results (top investment destinations) stack up over the next year or so through subsequent issues of the magazine. We introduce Collette Lord, a successful landlord, gauge her opinions on property investment and air her article on how you are never too old to start investing. We also welcome Richard Thompson, whose interesting article provides us with a fantastic insight into the benefits of providing and producing ‘Accessible Property’. You will be amazed at the additional markets that you can open up.

Finally, we have improved the usual features and analyses of the UK, Irish, European and World News. We continue our examination of economic terms and the effects they have on the decisions we make.

Issue 3

Welcome to issue 3, again we thank you for your considerable responses and the many questions we will endeavour to resolve throughout the course of the magazine. Yet again, we will be bringing you an action packed edition, brimming with exciting information and top tips. We are sure you will enjoy the magazine as we experience a significant stage of growth and look forward to you growing with us.

In this our third edition, we have gone bigger and better due to the development of the ‘special features’ sections as we continue to expand and bring you the latest information on the top investment destinations from around the globe. In this edition, we focus on the investment potential of Brazil, Lithuania and Croatia. We hope you find them informative and illustrative of the typical investment opportunities currently on offer. Dominic, having recently launched the meteoric success story aka The Grove Spa Resort, details what he believes makes a good resort. He takes you on a guided tour of each stage of the process, explaining how the potential re-sales and lettings of a high quality resort far outweigh those of a ‘typical’ resort. We review the much maligned Home Information Packs (HIPs), along with an assessment of how the recent floods have and will affect property prices in and around those areas. We take a look at what the floods mean for investors and what the future may bring. Collette Lord gives her inimitable view on how to find great tenants, whilst David Lawrenson reviews what’s next for the UK property market.

Issue 4

The release of the Magazine’s fourth edition heralds our first birthday. Our first birthday, is a source of great pride as subscriptions are through the roof, we are posting the magazine to 49 different countries around the world and the latest edition is by far the most comprehensive and informative edition yet, with 60 pages of action packed tips and suggestions on how and where to make money from investment properties. We look forward to identifying some of the best investment opportunities in what may prove to be a pivotal year with many economic markets being subjected to intense review and overhaul following the adverse effects of what is becoming a global credit crunch.

In this edition, we focus on a fantastic investment opportunity in neighbouring France. This ski-resort in Val d’Allos, is nestled under the shadows of the southern French Alps and is being offered as part of a guaranteed 9-year leaseback scheme. These properties are also fully hands off as they are completely property managed. This scheme is very low risk and is being offered in an area that has witnessed average capital growth returns of 15% per annum. The magazine contains a detailed report on the resort inclusive of example costs. Looking a little further, we feature Hungary, as a potential investment destination that appears to have been consistently undervalued over the last few years. This report illustrates the real potential on offer in this Central European Country that is home to the cultural delights of its capital, Budapest. Budapest sitting on the Danube, is complemented by a natural environment of hills, forests and natural thermal spas. With four central sites being awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, it is easy to see why property investment is viewed as such good value. This concept is only heightened when compared to some of its illustrious neighbours such as Austria and Croatia.

This editions third and final ‘country focus’ features Cape Verde, a small band of islands with Caribbean type characteristics located just off the West Africa coast. With Cape Verde due to join the EU in 2008, this island paradise has grown in stature and has undergone some major transformations as many have been awakened to its irresistible charm, not to mention the investment opportunities on offer, it’s warm weather, direct and accessible flights and strengthening financial and tourism based industries. Cape Verde is certainly one to watch this year and we bring you some interesting facts and figures on the island.

The ‘Special Features’ section of this edition has witnessed some strong growth this magazine, whilst Dominic gives an interesting insight into his busy schedule and how the economy affects his investment and development decisions. Henry Powell-Jones gives an in-depth analysis of French leaseback schemes, whilst making an introduction to our sister company, Jet-to-Let Investments. We recommend that you keep an eye on the investment arm of the company and the many upcoming opportunities becoming available in the coming months. We have some outstanding investment deals coming up in France, Berlin, mystical Morocco and the beautiful Sicily. Be assured that we will bring these exclusive opportunities to you as and when they become available. The special features also include a written report from the first Jet-to-Let Annual Conference, Liverpool: Capital of Culture 2008 along with a review of the opportunities such an illustrious award may present to UK investors. We also review what it takes to become a student landlord and look at the associated benefits as well how to spot that elusive opportunity. Finally, we analyse the implications of the pre-budget tax review and look at the likely effects it will have on UK property investors.

Issue 5

Welcome to the 5th edition of the Jet-to-Let Magazine, by now we hope that you will have received your latest personal copy in the post and have had a little time to digest the content. Following our latest marketing audit, we have now discovered the magazine is being posted to 61 countries, whilst our database has now officially topped 12,500 with new subscribers being added on a daily basis. We believe this edition is the most informative and comprehensive edition yet and features some interesting focus articles on countries that our readers have specifically requested more information over the last few months.

This edition features some interesting information concerning investment opportunities in Dubai, Sicily and India. The information that has been collated on these countries makes for some interesting reading following the in-depth research that has been undertaken to bring you these featured articles.

The magazine also introduces an investment opportunity we will be launching in the next couple of weeks. The new five-star complex, The Palm Spa Resort, is being offered to readers at a discounted rate for pre-launch registrations.

The Palm Spa Resort, Tersefanou, Cyprus is scheduled for completion in 2011 and is being constructed near to the new PGA managed golf course being built in the area. It is believed that the whole area will soon become a hotbed of activity due to the inward investment and attractions that are being lined up for the region as it develops from a sleepy little village into a large, five-star sporting mecca. The Palm Spa Resort, will feature 2 large outdoor swimming pools and Jacuzzis, children’s swimming pool and tennis court. The indoor Spa will feature treatment rooms, heated indoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi, gymnasium and relaxation areas. Underground parking, an innovative bar/restaurant, 24-hour concierge service, property management and resales service will complete the resort which has been designed to appeal to the more discerning investor through the limited number of luxury apartments the resort will house. Anyone interested in registering for the pre-launch discount can do so at: www.thepalmsparesort.com

The ‘Special Features’ section continues to strengthen and is packed with top tips for investors including the top ten tax tips by a leading tax consultant, how to get a bargain at a property auction and information for investors on how to maximise rental incomes if thinking of investing near a golf course. There is also an update on the activities of the Jet-to-Let Investments team and an insightful article on the potential opportunities on offer to investors interested in Marrakech, Morocco. Dominic talks us through a typical week of his busy schedule in a Diary of a Property Investor and Developer, whilst we reveal the top ten destinations as voted by the latest thousand subscribers we polled in the Jet-to-Let Magazine 2008 subscriber survey.

As always, the magazine is completed by our regular features including the UK, Ireland, European and Worldwide News round-up, Ireland, UK and US Property Market Reports, again, all of which make for some interesting reading that may prove pivotal when investors are searching out some opportunities in well-developed and mature property markets. Dr Stephan Pfaffenzeller returns with the Economics Masterclass when he examines the five-year outlook for the sterling against the dollar, whilst Farrell’s View takes a look at the Stockmarket versus Property as an ongoing investment opportunity. Dominic’s Prosperity Column examines wealth and prosperity drawing on the views of some of the leading icons of the 20th Century. We end the magazine with our Diary of Events for the upcoming 3 months and hope that you enjoy this magazine and keep your questions coming in.
