Our global offering for South Africans

Contrary to opinion, real estate investment outside of South Africa truly is attainable. With strong and well-considered property investments abroad, you can grow your wealth through capital appreciation as well as hedge currency in Euros, Pounds or Dollars – and, in many cases, take a mortgage out at a very low-interest rate or have a passive income via a rental investment.

What we offer

Offshore real estate

Are you driven by financial returns and looking to add real estate to your portfolio? We can assist in sourcing you a property that offers a great investment profile and minimum hassle.

Many investors want to invest offshore but have no idea where or how to start. They also often fail to understand the real risks that exist when there's an international border between the investor and their investment.

We only partner with the best developers and, through our own experience, we know how to manage the financial and delivery risks that are very real in many off-plan developments.

Furthermore, we analyse markets, legislation, tax implications and currency volatility with the aim of stabilizing an investment that yields solid returns, capital growth and equity protection.

Our approach aims to compliment your wealth strategy. Let us work for you to simplify the complex process of investing offshore.

A second home or relocation

If you are looking to diversify with a second home abroad or make the move entirely, we have a retained search team who can assist you with the process of buying another home to enjoy with your loved ones. Let us explore.

Citizenship or residency

Are you looking for a road to second citizenship or to obtain residency in another country through real estate investment?
