		<description><![CDATA[Central Florida Real Estate Luring Overseas Investors!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Foreign investors have put more that $120 million into property in Central Florida between January and June 2007, this is more than double last years $54 million, also the investment is not just in vacation homes but on apartments,&nbsp; retailing and office space and more! Orlando has become the 19th largest market for investment for the foreign dollar in the nation and the largest in the Sunshine state.</p>
<p>For the whole of 2006 the figure was just over the priod of the first and second quarter of this year at $130 million making it 27th in the nation but this is a far cry from 2004 where it had a record year of $222 million investment in real estate from foreigners making it 15th in the nation!</p>
<p>Overall this investment is dwarfed by the investment by Australians, who have invested $7.7 billion nationwide in real estate this year!</p>
<p>All of this foreign invesment is driven by the weak dollar, which for UK buyers has reached historic lows of $2.06/&pound;1.00&#8230;but has now risen back to around $2/&pound;1&#8230;.these rates are the best in over quarter of a century&#8230;now is the time to buy!</p>
<p>Great news all round!!</p>

We have a dedicated team of Real Estate professionals waiting to serve you and find you that perfect Florida home of your dreams. Maybe you have been fed up by the rained out British Summer this year? Or have seen the gorgeous property for sale on A Place in the Sun or Real Estate TV? &#8211; Which we have been featured on!</p>
<p>What ever your reason, Florida is a fantastic place to invest, with a high quality of life coupled with cheap property, gorgeous weather and the cheapest dollar in over a quarter of a century it really is the place to be!</p>
<p>However&#8230; you ask.. how can I afford it? Well, our team of Mortgage Brokers cajn look at the options right for you, whether what we are most famous for, the British Sterling mortgage (where your repayments are in pounds) or a US Dollar mortgage or even a Multi-Currency Mortgage they can look at what is right for you and quote you on the product you like best all at no obligation.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Slight relief as the base rate is held at 5.5%..however more rises this year expected]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relief all around as the Monetary Policy Committee held the base rate at 5.5%. However this relief is still short lived, the UK is still suffering from high levels of inflation, which are way off Target 2.0 levels, the UK still has a runaway housing market which, although is suffering in the wake of the HIP&#8217;s chaos is still going up. So this relief is most likely temporary and it is expected that there may be a further couple of rate rises before the end of the year.</p>
<p>This is good news for Florida property if you are considering a sterling mortgage. Which is still very attractive with the exchange rate as it is! Our range of Sterling Mortgages from BMA track the Bank of England base rate. There are currently three fixed rate products available from BMA so now really is the time to get one to future proof your mortgage against the possible rate rises on the horizon. <a href="http://blog.britishhomesgroup.com/public/item/168468">Contact Us today</a>.</p>

<td><font size="2">Maybe you saw the <em>Daily Mail</em> article on a <em>US Housing Crash</em>? Or the <em>Tonight With Trevor McDonald</em> show on people who have relocated to Florida? No matter where you have heard negative publicity about the <em>US Property Market</em> or the <em>US economy</em> doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that your investment in <em>Florida</em> will be effected, it isn&#8217;t comparing apples to apples. Would the same reasoning be used to compare a buy-to-let property in Birmingham to a residential house in Billingsgate? Of course it wouldn&#8217;t. Here is why things aren&#8217;t always as they seem&#8230;</font></td>

</table>
<p>This publicity, often doesn&#8217;t cover all the facts and unnecessarily turns buyers off of their <em>dream home in Florida</em>. The Daily Mail may talk of price crashes and cracks in the US economy, all that has really occurred is a price correction and slowed price growth. After all this is what has happened in the UK so why not the US? The UK has had its run away Housing Market which has slowed to a comfortable growth rate in single figures in most areas, so the US can have the same. There are of course some exceptions but in the case of <em>Central Florida</em> things are looking up.</p>
<p>Things are still bright and sunny in the <em>Sunshine State</em>, the <em>Floridian economy</em> is booming at is is set to become the third most populous state in the Union. (overtaking New York State which is currently behind Texas with California up front) Florida has good job creation through R&amp;D and High-Tech industries setting up shop right here in <em>Central Florida</em>. It has some of the best Universities and community colleges in the country and has over <em>300 days of sunshine a year!</em> What other locations can boast all that? After all the <em>Orlando area</em> has 50 million visitors a year and growing.</p>
<p><em>The Orlando Visitors Bureau</em> lists 207 things to do in the area in 2007 <a title="Click here to see 207 things to do in Orlando in 2007" href="http://www.orlandoinfo.com/articles/things-to-do-in-orlando.cfm">Click here to view it</a>. This list shows how much the area has to offer.</p>
<p><em>Florida property</em> represents good value for money with good potential for capital growth in the coming years (it has been said that Florida is the California of 10 years ago) coupled with a good Rental Market. After all, <em>Walt Disney World</em>, which supports the local economy by $20 billion and is the areas biggest attraction, is unlikely to go bust. </p>
<p>All in all, now in the present buyers market, where prices in the Orlando area are stable and overall increasing, supply is plentiful, it might just be the best time in years to buy <em>Florida property</em>.</p>
