投資英國物業或移民英國最重要的其中一個因素莫過於校網。只要是好校網， 一方面可以為日後子女到英國升學打下良好基礎外， 另一方面可用作投資物業獲取較有保證的回報。那麼究竟英國現時頭10大最好校網地區是什麼地方呢?   10大最強英國校網區 根據英國校網資料網站Locrating的數據顯示， 頭11大英國最好校網的地區分別如下: 第1位: City of London 第2位: Kensington and Chelsea 第3位: Richmond upon Thames 第4位: Trafford 第5位: Lambeth 第6位: Hammersmith and Fulham 第7位: Camden 第8位: Hackney 第9位: Harrow 第10位: Wandsworth 第11位: Barnet   大家可能奇怪為什麼小編會提供頭11大， 而不是10大。原因是頭10大中， 9個都是在倫敦， 唯獨1個Trafford在曼徹斯特， 所以小編提供多1位就是第11位的Barnet。但縱使是第11位， 第11位都是在倫敦。可見要揀優秀校網區的物業， 一般都要去倫敦。那麼倫敦的頭10大校網區中， 樓價最便宜的校網區究竟又是那一個呢?   校網優越之餘價錢亦最平的英國物業區 根據英國物業網站rightmove 2019年數據顯示， 頭10大最強倫敦校網區中， 原來第9位Harrow區的樓價是最平， 平均樓價是£510,519， 相比第1位City of London的 £1,034,725足足平足1半， 而比上一位第8位的Hackney亦足足平25%， 即折合港幣大約182萬。   那麼Harrow校網有幾好呢? 根據資料顯示該區平均Ofsted評分達1.69， 是全英150個區中排名第9。而Harrow區作為倫敦頂級校網區，優質教育資訊從幼兒到高等教育全面覆蓋，名校雲集，每年孕育無數學界精英。其中國際頂尖學院Harrow School（哈羅公校）就在此區，其名氣甚至遠在香港的我們或許都多多少少有聽聞過，是不少政治及經濟界人才的精英搖籃，入讀此校幾乎等於半隻腳已踏進世界人一流大學。除了聞名於世的傳統名校外，Harrow學區的優秀公立校網亦是另一廣為人稱的特點。該區的Whitefriars School是倫敦極罕有的一條龍公立名校，子女由三歲開始讀Nursery到考A-Level都無需要轉校。加上附近有多間Ofsed達到「Outstanding」評級學校如Marlborough Primary School、Pinner Park Junior School、Nower Hill High School等。   校網強價錢平仲要交通方便 如果覺得Harrow區不錯， 那麼住Harrow區什麼地方較好呢? 利安環球今次介紹大家Harrow區的熱門英國物業樓盤項目位置優越， 只需8分鐘步行直達Harrow & Wealdstone車站， 而Harrow & Wealdstone車站為倫敦少有的三線交匯車站之一 (Underground、Overground及Crossrail)， 前往Euston及Oxford Circus分別只需13及25分鐘。加上商店林立， 6分鐘直達兩大購物中心St George及St Ann’s Shopping Centre， 滿足生活所需。再者項目由名牌英國上市發展商Barratt Homes打造， 信譽良好， 信心保證。   Harrow 區英國物業項目特點： 💡重點發展｜Harrow為倫敦重點的活化區之一，未來勢必帶旺樓價上升 👍歷史悠久｜當地車站已經有差不多二百年歷史，另Kodak 在一百多年前於當地設立第一個工廠，極具歷史價值 樓盤特點： 🚆四通八達｜前往市中心Euston 火車站只需12分鐘，25分鐘到達Oxford Circus 🏫鄰近名校｜附近多間Ofsted “Outstanding” 評級學校如Marlborough Primary school、Pinner Park Junior School、Nower Hill High School及超過100年歷史的Harrow School等 🛒商店林立｜6分鐘直達兩大購物中心St George 及 St Ann’s Shopping Centre，滿足生活所需 💎名牌打造｜由英國上市發展商Barratt Homes 打造，信譽良好   想知更多英國買樓的事不妨聯絡利安環球 🌐 https://bit.ly/3uBfoFB 📞/💬 Signal: +852 9168 2585 📱 WhatsApp : https://bit.ly/3f2ZKeh 📧 info@rae-on.com   ▶️訂閱《利安地球邨》YouTube頻道，帶你每星期遊英澳加：https://bit.ly/3rWCpBs 📢MeWe專頁已正式開通，歡迎Follow：https://mewe.com/p/raeoninternational利安環球物業

  溫哥華買樓熾熱，有錢俾兼通宵排隊都未必買到樓的情況不時出現。正因如此，部份資深買家開始選擇新黃金地段Burnaby。大家可能有所不知，這個地方位處大溫哥華中心區，但樓價就比西溫平足7成!大家可能第一感覺便是平野無好野，事實卻不是。   大溫哥華東西交通必經交匯處 大家打開加拿大溫哥華的地圖，你會發現Burnaby的位置正正位於整個大溫哥華的正中心。西邊是傳統樓市旺區西溫和溫西地段，東邊是較偏遠的地區Surrey和Coquitlam。西南邊是另一樓市旺區Richmond。而Burnaby便正正站在中間。加上整個溫哥華Sky Train中，Burnaby是擔當著重要東西樞紐的地區，甚至座享兩條東西分支線。另外部份Richmond居民想到東邊區域，很多居民都未必會乘搭Sky Train，而選擇坐公共巴士經Burnaby向東邊走。可見Burnaby在溫哥華西區的位置十分超然，是東西穿梭必經之路，為樓價打下堅實基礎。   區內配套完善兼生活便利 大環境交通方便之外，區內的配套都十分貼地和完善。就以最多人注目的Metrotown為例，這裡不但擁有一切所生活需，更加有卑詩省最大型購物天堂Metropolis at Metrotown商場及220畝的中央公園。 而Metrotown住宅項目向來備受買家追捧，如果住宅位處絕佳位置，基本上是極具升值潛力。簡單而言, Metrotown無論自住還是投資，都是非常理想的選擇。   Burnaby位置方便和生活配套完善不代表貴，事實上該區樓價比西溫哥華便宜7成!根據加拿大房地產網站ZOLO的資料顯示，西溫哥華(West Vancouver)的平均樓價是加幣280萬，而本那比(Burnaby)的平址樓價則是加幣90萬。樓價足足便宜近7成。而西溫哥華和本那比的距離只是約40分鐘。因此成為眾多投資加拿大物業的新寵地段。   溫哥華Burnaby Metrotown推新一期樓盤項目Sun Towers 而近來Burnaby的Metrotown推出新盤Sun Towers。其實Sun Towers第一期開售後迅即全部售罄！今次利安環球為大家帶來預計2022年落成的Sun towers第二期，一共194單位，提供一房至三房及Penthouse，售價由60餘萬起，平均呎價只需$1150/呎起，部份單位更送車位及儲物室！   📍大溫中心｜Sun Towers 項目毗鄰大溫哥華本拿比 Metrotown ，亦是大温最正中心點，升值潛力不可忽視！   🛍生活配套｜只需步行3分鐘即到Metropolis at Metrotown，超過450間商店，有多間餐廳、超級市場、戲院及四大銀行，以及華人超市 T & T 大統華超級市場！鄰近的麗晶廣場更是華人購物餐飲的集中地。   🌳社區配套｜4 分鐘可步行到 Burnaby Civic Square ，12分鐘可步行到達本拿地最大型的220畝 中央公園 Central Park，內有網球場、18洞3桿高爾夫球場、草地保齡球、棒球場及戶外遊泳池！   🥇豪華用料｜Sun Towers由著名的Belford Properties建造，裝飾精緻豪華，更採用德國品牌Bosch 家庭電器。住戶可享用24,000 呎 3層六星級會所Solaris Club，有羽毛球場、健身中心、瑜伽中心、高爾夫球練習場、天空花園、音樂鋼琴室、游泳池、桑拿及蒸氣房等，一樓更提供Montessori托兒中心服務給 Sun Towers 住客優先。   🔥銷情熱烈｜Sun tower 第一期在開售一個月後迅速售罄！利安環球發售第二期最新單位，平均售價由加幣60餘萬起，部分單位更附送車位！   想知多啲加拿大物業資訊，可以搵我哋了解詳情，我哋都會提供一對一諮詢！ ========= ▶️訂閱《利安地球邨》YouTube頻道，帶你每星期遊英澳加：https://bit.ly/3rWCpBs   📢MeWe專頁已正式開通，歡迎Follow：https://mewe.com/p/raeoninternational利安環球物業   【想了解更多加拿大物業不妨搵利安】 🌐 https://bit.ly/3uBfoFB 📞/💬 Signal: +852 9168 2585 📱 WhatsApp : https://bit.ly/3f2ZKeh 📧 info@rae-on.com    

2021年加拿大買樓排隊成風，甚至出現有錢都買不到， 要學香港一樣入飛等抽籤買樓。尤其溫西傳統住宅區更加一盤難求，溫哥華樓價大漲。近來有發展商更加在Oakridge和Cambie Street推出罕有城市屋， 除了把握溫哥華政府重新規劃Cambie Corridor的大型發展外， 更大的賣點是有關城市屋新盤是整個溫哥華第一個使用冷彎型鋼結構的房屋。或許大家對冷彎型鋼結構比較陌生， 但其實其大有來頭， 對房屋價值有一定支持和好處。   溫哥華買樓揀鋼結構原來好好多 過去而言， 溫哥華的城市屋一般都是用木結構。而這些木很多時是昆蟲和浣熊的棲息地， 由砍木專員在森林砍伐而來， 聽起來十分自然， 但其實住落便知有問題。首先木地板的隔音較差， 上下層的聲音通常較易穿透， 加上木本身是大自然的東西， 總會招惹昆蟲。而工人砌木難免有人為失誤和技術偏差， 一旦出現技術誤差， 木與木之間接連不好， 日後生活後便好有機會出現EE聲的怪現象， 滋擾生活。更重要一點是木結構的城市屋不能長住， 一到超過80年便要拆卸重建。   相反冷彎型鋼結構的城市屋好處便多。首先鋼結構的使用期長達最少700年， 跟木屋的80年簡直天差地別。另外100%排除昆蟲(如白蟻和囓齒害蟲)， 更加比木屋有更好的防水、防火、防濕氣、抗風、抗震、隔音和不釋放毒氣等功能。而且鋼結構每條切割都十分精準無誤差， 不用擔心怪音問題。其實冷彎型鋼的好處還有很多， 而且價錢也十分經濟。正因如此， 今次冷彎型鋼結構城市屋位處一線地段溫哥華西區， 但卻是二、三線地段的價錢， 如Burnaby、Metrotown。   史無前例大型重建計劃Cambie Corridor勢必推升溫哥華樓價 有關城市屋除了受惠鋼結構外， 亦因鄰近溫西Cambie street 夾49號街交界，受惠Cambie Corridor大型重建計劃。這個重建計劃堪稱是溫哥華史無前例的大規劃。溫哥華市重金打造， 支持高密度住房的發展， 目標改造西49 Ave.和Cambie Street東南角重建的重要工程區。其實Cambie Street和Oakridge本身已經是一個樓市熾熱的大旺區， 差不多每年都升。事實上， 溫西傳統住宅區現時一盤難求，過去5年當地Townhouse平均樓價上升近27%！今次重建將會繼續拉升附近房屋樓價。   住在該區不止是生活一應俱全， 回流加拿大居住的香港人更加重要是好校網。項目鄰近溫西區頂尖名校Churchill中學及Jamieson 小學，無疑是讓孩子入讀頂尖學校、親近自然的最理想居所。   發展商表示， 期望是次推售能讓首輛買家都賺錢， 為之後幾輪發售打響頭炮。而利安環球更加是優先於香港獨家發售，即楝即買！首期只需5%起，無論投資及回流自住皆一流！   項目是加拿大著名發展商Belford Properties 進駐溫哥華西區低密度住宅項目—Wellside Collection 的第一期，位於溫哥華西區Cambie street，環境寬敞優美，名校林立，且鄰近天車地鐵沿線，是極為矜貴珍罕的豪宅地段。項目總共42戶，提供一房至三房加書房戶型，由501平方呎至1473平方呎起，每戶獨享91至617平方呎的私家露台，呎價只需加幣1400/呎起，屬於溫西絕無僅有的高端Townhouse住宅項目。   項目亮點： 非凡地段：位於Cambie street 夾49號街交界內街，屬於溫西最旺中帶靜的區域，供應極罕，一盤難求。 鄰近天車站: 只需步行5分鐘即到Langara-49th Avenue天車站 四通八達：無論到溫哥華市中心、UBC校園區、列治文市、本列比Metrotown都只需10分鐘 頂尖校網：鄰近西溫區頂尖名校Churchill中學及Jamieson小學 性價比高：平均呎價只需加幣$1400/呎，首期只需5%！   項目詳情: https://www.rae-on.com/property/revive/   項目展銷會: https://bit.ly/3uBfoFB 

As the COVID-19 crisis continues to hit the hip pockets of Australians, the big four banks are coming to the table with relief measures for existing customers. Business closures and job losses have had a flow-on effect for many Australians who are now struggling to manage their home loan repayments. This has prompted the major banks to throw a lifeline to mortgage holders. The big four banks are aiming at making life a little easier for their customers. Picture: Getty ANZ, Commbank, NAB and Westpac are freezing home loan repayments for eligible customers for up to six months, although, in most cases, interest will continue to accrue. It’s important to check the conditions with the individual bank.  Here’s a breakdown of what the Big Four are currently offering existing mortgage holders in response to the coronavirus pandemic. 1. ANZ Under a home loan repayment deferral, ANZ customers won’t be required to make repayments to their home loan for a period of time. Unpaid interest during the period is capitalised, meaning it’s added to the customer’s outstanding loan balance to be…

Australia is among the top three countries in the world best placed to ride out the economic fallout of COVID-19, with experts predicting property will signal the recovery. Empty parks and streets in Brisbane City due to social distancing rules linked to the Coronavirus pandemic. Picture: Russell Shakespeare A report by PRD Nationwide called “Developed Country Response to COVID-19”, looked at all G20 nations and their packages designed to bolster economies and jobs (in USD). Per capita Australia ranked second, behind Germany, as being the best placed nation to ride out the economic downturn, while as a percentage of GDP it ranked third, surpassed only by Germany and Japan. PRD chief economist Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo told The Courier-Mail that the numbers showed that Australia’s fiscal policy had put the coutry in a strong position for recovery. Stimulus Per Capita (USD) Germany $9,890.08 Australia $7,842.56 United States $6,077.83 (Source: PRD Nationwide) “Against other developed countries Australia’s stimulus package as a percentage of 2019 GDP (14.4 per cent) is on the higher end, above the US and Canada, and significantly higher than our neighbours…

Strong price growth has returned to Sydney and Melbourne and is expected to spread to more affordable Brisbane, according to CBRE research. While the devastating COVID-19 outbreak has cast a shadow over the economy in the opening months of this year, CBRE’s 2020 market outlook report says Australia’s development cycle is returning to undersupply. “Apartment supply cycles in the major capitals are past their peak and vacancy levels are well controlled,” CBRE’s head of residential research Craig Godber said. The report notes that approvals in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are “particularly evident” for large developments in the three capital cities. “With cost of debt low and lending volumes starting to turn, investors should gradually return,” Godber said. Property advisory group Charter Keck Cramer last week forecast an apartment undersupply by 2022 due to slumping numbers of new apartments under construction. The property advisory group said the demand-supply imbalance was largely due to “population growth and anaemic construction activity”. “This should encourage well placed developers to begin marketing larger projects again so they are at the forefront of the next development…

Brisbane is officially under construction. Everywhere you look, there is a major construction site underway. A city of 2.5 million, a region of 3.6 million, the city is undergoing monumental change, with 2020 welcoming the start of many new major projects about to come online. The video above counts down Brisbane’s top 15 major projects of significance for the year. The significance of a project doesn’t always mean the associated dollar figure, but more how it will impact the city. Below is the list:   1. Brisbane Live Artist’s impression of Brisbane Live arena Brisbane Live is a large scale inner-city precinct development located at Roma Street Station, a surface level interchange train station for six Queensland rail lines. The centrepiece of the project is a new 18,000 entertainment arena complex which would be built above the open-air Roma Street Rail Yards. Surrounding the arena, a large scale entertainment precinct is planned which would include a variety of mixed-use buildings. Whilst Brisbane Live has an estimated dollar figure of only $2 billion for the above-ground infrastructure, compared to Queen’s Wharf’s…

Australia’s housing market faces a new balancing act, with a looming interest rate cut expected to offset threats that the coronavirus could derail reinvigorated buyer sentiment. Property prices across the country are recovering much faster than expected, with Sydney and Melbourne now growing annually at double-digit rates and values across five capital cities reaching a record high in February. Darwin was the only capital city where home values fell, by 1.4 per cent, while Sydney recorded the strongest growth of 1.7 per cent over the month, followed by 1.2 per cent in Melbourne and 0.8 per cent in both Canberra and Hobart, according to CoreLogic’s Home Value Index. For the first time since 2014, house values in Perth increased, albeit modestly, for four consecutive months, providing further evidence that the long-running downturn has come to an end. While high auction clearance rates show buyers are back in force and the latest data from the Reserve Bank of Australia indicates investors are following owner-occupiers back into the property market – lending to investors grew in January, by 0.1 per cent, for the first…

House prices made the biggest jump in a decade, according to Corelogic’s results for the last quarter.  The best performing capital city was Sydney with 6.2 per cent growth, followed closely by Melbourne at 6.1 per cent, Hobart had a 3.4 per cent jump, Brisbane 2.4 per cent, Canberra 2.3 per cent, while Adelaide experienced a 1.4 per cent uptick. Corelogic head of research Tim Lawless said “The housing value rebound was spurred on by lower mortgage rates, a relaxation in borrower serviceability assessments, improved housing affordability and renewed certainty around property taxation policies post the federal election,” Lawless said. Agreed by Capital Economics economist Marcel Thieliant and he said sales volumes were much stronger in recent months than the preliminary data suggested.  The strong finish to 2019 is expected to be the start of larger gains in prices with anticipated listings, sales and RBA cuts to strengthen the market in coming months. According to Sales Director of Raeon International, Australian real estate prices have actually fully recovered in 2019, and Hong Kong investors have also actively entered the market….

Appetite for Sydney’s top-end homes surged during the last three months with around 31 properties worth more than $10 million a piece – almost half of the year’s total – exchanging hands. Prestige property valuation and advisory firm Pontons analysed the resale market for ultra-premium homes in Sydney and found that 69 properties were sold over 2019, with maximum price achieved at $40 million. Ultra-prestige homes such as this house at 18 St Thomas Street, Bronte have held their resale values during 2019. Andrew Tunbridge, valuer and director at Pontons said that while the total sales volume for the year was 43 per cent lower compared to the 120 transactions achieved in 2018, selling prices had remained stable. “The fact that 45 per cent of the sales of the annual tally above $10 million occurred in the fourth quarter of the year, is a particularly strong finish,” he said. The solid showing also coincided with the rapid growth in the broader market where Sydney dwelling values jumped by 6.2 per cent during the past three months according to data provider…

Sydney’s premium market is poised to grow by 4 per cent in 2020, while Melbourne is set to rise by 3 per cent – trumping Vancouver, New York and Dubai – amid growing confidence bolstered by lower interest rates and limited supply pipeline, the Knight Frank Prime Global Forecast 2020 shows. The report, which monitors the performance of prime properties in global cities, is predicting Paris to lead the charge with a 7 per cent growth as strong tenant and second home buyer demand outpaces supply. Luxury home prices in Sydney are poised to grow by 4 per cent in 2020.  Top-end homes in Berlin and Miami are set to grow by 5 per cent while Geneva is forecast to rise by 4 per cent. Hong Kong’s luxury market is set to stagnate, dragged down by the political upheaval that started in May. Dubai’s premium home prices are forecast to drop by 2 per cent, while New York’s high-end properties are set to fall by 3 per cent due to the recent oversupply backlog. Prime properties in Vancouver are expected to slump…

Sydney’s housing market is on track to recoup the 15 per cent loss in prices suffered during the 18-month downturn early next year and reach a new record high by March. Property prices in the harbour city surged 2.7 per cent in November, the highest monthly growth rate since 1988, while Melbourne property values grew by 2.2 per cent over the same period, according to the latest CoreLogic Home Value Index. Prices also increased in every other capital city except Darwin, with a 2.3 per cent rise in Hobart, 1.6 per cent in Canberra, 0.8 per cent in Brisbane and 0.5 per cent in Adelaide. Even in Perth, where property prices have been trending lower since mid-2014, values grew slightly by 0.4 per cent. Over the past 13 years, Perth has gone from having the most expensive property of all the capital cities to the cheapest. CoreLogic’s head of research Tim Lawless said since Sydney’s market had bottomed out in May, prices were up 8.2 per cent and just 8 per cent lower than when prices peak in July 2017….
