Cape Verde “The undiscovered Jewel in our crown . . .” (I know it’s not Spain!)
Cape Verde is widely recognised among international developers as the new global property and holiday hotspot offering a 5*investment opportunity.
An enchanting archipelago of ten tropical islands, each with its own individual character and charm, Cape Verde lies in the Atlantic Ocean 450km west of Senegal on the African coast and 1000km south of the Canary Islands.
Beautiful white sandy beaches, stunning scenery, unspoilt, pristine environment, fascinating local restaurants and not forgetting year-round sunshine meaning the added benefit of an average yearly temperature between 22-30ºC throughout the year AND all under 6 hours flight away!
Huge international investment is being ploughed into this hugely underrated area with approximately £1.75 billion coming from the 4 newly planned Ernie Els 
18 hole golf courses and academies planned for the next two years. The local government of the Republic of Cape Verde is very supportive of foreign investment, and is assisting a rapidly developing tourist industry. The local currency – the Cape Verde Escudo (CVE) – also provides the stability of being fixed to the Euro. So with fast and convenient access and all the attractions of a unique tropical paradise, Cape Verde offers unparalleled potential as an investment opportunity for growth, rental or resale.

A SIPP to success . . .
Investing in one of our properties has never been easier and now you can fund your purchase through your pension using a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) or FPT (Family Pension Trust). This not only offers incredible tax advantages but also puts you in control of how your pension is invested for the future. And the process is much easier than you may think!
We have partnered with the UK’s leading pension and investment experts to give you the independent professional advice you need and to help guide you through your options. They will deal with transferring any “frozen” pensions from previous employment or businesses and/or funds from other personal pensions. All you have to do is select the property you want in your pension fund.
Contributions into a SIPP attract relief at an individual’s highest rate of tax. So, for a higher rate taxpayer, putting £60,000 into their fund would give buying power of £100,000 to invest in a prime resort property.
It is also possible to borrow additional funds against the value of your SIPP or FPT. As much as 50% of the value of a SIPP/FPT can be borrowed to increase the overall fund for property investment. So, as an example, a fund that has a value of £150,000 can be increased by 50% or £75,000 to make a total fund of £225,000 available to invest in a Cape Verde property.
And the good news doesn’t end there as the property purchased by your pension will benefit from future capital growth and rental income from participation in our Hotel Managed Rental scheme. This is the easy way of putting your property in the experienced and professional hands of our five star hotel partner and world-leading resort operator; Sol Melia.
