What Bachata Properties and Patricia Lyons can offer your company:

It would be hard, maybe even impossible, to beat the unique perspective that Patricia Lyons and Bachata Properties bring to Irish investors interested in the Dominican Republic and its vibrant property market. Having lived and worked in this beautiful Caribbean island country for 20 years, Patricia brings an insider knowledge about commercial and residential developments in cities and towns, as well as what resorts are set to fly! Born in Dublin, she is also a fluent Spanish and French speaker. Together with her Dominican husband, she has excellent contacts throughout all levels of the government, private sector, the arts and the media.

Bachata Properties was launched in 2005 in response to the increasing demand in France for overseas properties in the Dominican Republic. The European office opened in Paris because of the dynamic French tourist market to the Dominican Republic (over 300,000 visitors every year) and a large number of these want to buy a property after they have experienced the beauty of the island, the warm hospitality of the Dominican people and the stress-free quality of life there. So, Bachata Properties, a real estate company registered in the Dominican Republic, from its Paris office, sells properties to clients not only in France but also in other parts of Europe. Due to the extensive network it has built up of recognised real estate professionals all over the Dominican Republic, Bachata Properties can source a wide range of quality properties to meet every client’s needs. Bachata Properties also acts as an agent for property developers in the Dominican Republic who want to tap into the European market.

Now, Ireland is an important market as Irish investors are keen to invest in countries where there is a beautiful, warm climate, incomparable white sandy beaches, a buoyant economy, competitive property prices, guaranteed income, tax breaks and capital growth. The Dominican Republic has all this and much more, just waiting to be discovered by Irish investors. Bachata Properties can help to develop the Irish overseas property market as Patricia Lyons is moving back to live in the Dominican Republic in July 2007.

Estate agents say existing properties in the Dominican Republic are a quarter of the price of those on more ‘blue-chip’ Caribbean islands, like The Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbados, Cayman Islands, , Turks and Caicos, Virgin Islands. Compared to property prices in Spain, you can get the same quality property but for about half the price. Bachata Properties has beachfront properties that range from €90,000, to a mid-range price of US$300,000 and its top-of-the-range at US$600,000 – US$1,000,000. Added to that is that the beaches in the Dominican Republic are uniquely beautiful – powdery white sand, turquoise-blue sea, palm trees, coral reefs. After all, it’s the Caribbean. There just is no equivalent anywhere in Europe. And for a complete feeling of “Getting Away From It All” and breathing in a totally new culture, the answer is the Dominican Republic. Sun, beach, sand, exoticism, fun, marvellous people …. What more could you want?

Europe is already saturated with Irish investors so now is the time to turn to the Dominican Republic for Irish investors to get a foothold in the Dominican property market.

Wouldn’t it be good to know there’s “one of our own’ on the ground there, working on your behalf to ease the way to property investment?
