What You Missed Out if You Did Not Attend to the Property Investor and Home Buyer Show in London


back

Crowds of people were interested in property investments options within the UK and overseas at one of the most prestigious property exhibitions in London. The two-day-long Property Investor and Home Buyer Show took place on the 7th and 8th of October, 2016 at London ExCel.





From more than 120 exhibitors only Tower International represented Budapest, where property prices are currently 75% less compared to London or other EU cities. Another factor which made the Tower portfolio outstanding was the fact that while the majority of the exhibitors offered off-plan developments, Tower’s portfolio contained mainly income-producing investments in classical or newly built properties with a potential yields of up to 7%.

There was something else which made Tower’s stand unique…

“VR Property Browsing” by Tower

Tower International has started to make 360-degree images of the properties we list for sale in Budapest. This technology gives an opportunity to the investors to have a better insight into the apartments they are considering to buy in Hungary. This experience is similar to Google Street View - and the technology has been implemented into our website, so you can now take a look around each room of these properties.

In preparations for the London Show we decided to go one step further: we brought along VR-glasses and invited people to take a virtual tour of our Budapest apartments. “There was such great interest in these Virtual Reality Tours! We could take the show-attendants straight into the apartments we were talking about”, explains Gabor Kiss, Sales Executive of Tower.

Where in The World? In Budapest!

More than 80 professional seminars and debates were held during the two-day-long exhibition. Krisztina Németh, Property Sales Manger of Tower was invited to talk about our region at one of these seminars Where in the World? Where are the best international investment opportunities – Europe, Africa, America or Asia?

Krisztina summarized the advantages of a Budapest property investment in 9 points:

1. Quickly developing region in the European Union
2. The EURO is not adopted yet, Hungary is not part of the euro zone - yet
3. The level of property prices is a quarter of other big EU cities

6. Stable legal environment, secure land registry system
7. No capital gains tax after 5 years of ownership
8. Safe environment, excellent public safety
9. Historical and cultural heritage city
