ALDERNEY
THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RIGHT MOVE

December – a positive and exciting month with so much to look forward to. There may be fewer daylight hours and lower temperatures, but Alderney usually fares better than mainland UK – as we undoubtedly do within our property market. And, with snow chaos devastating the UK prior to Christmas, Alderney, although also enjoying some snow and rare white views, remains calmer and more composed!
With our low tax structure coupled with NO Capital Gains Tax and NO Inheritance Tax for domiciled residents – and of course NO VAT – Alderney always enjoys a powerful pulling power.
And being just some 70 miles south of the Isle of Wight, we are only a 45 minute air flight from Southampton Airport and just 10 minutes from Guernsey.
Safety and quality of life are two other prime features that make us stand out from the rest.
At Bell & Co, we have surprised ourselves with the amount of inquiries that have come in over the past few months, the number of people who have flown in to see the island first hand and its houses for sale. These viewings have resulted in more agreed sales than we would have thought.
Prices remain subdued while interest is increasing – an interesting scenario for any serious purchaser or investor!
So come through for a chat on any subject or keep in touch via our monthly blog with the Alderney property scene along with other political and economic changes that ultimately shape our island.
UP AND COMING IN OUR JANUARY BLOG
The way we hope to see the year panning out following our recent States elections with new politicians. 2011 should see a positive way forward.
