Welcome to Aphelium

Specialists in Central and South America and Caribbean investments. With over 15 years experience in the international property business, we are here to help you with a comprehensive service for all your global property investment needs. From conception through to completion, Aphelium deliver a complete package to meet all investment requirements. We research the world’s economies, tourist industries and property markets in search of the best investment opportunities, so that we can help you to make the purchase that is right for you.

Despite this period of economic uncertainty there still some very exciting investment opportunities, particularly in emerging markets, which is why we have chosen to specialise in these areas. We believe that the best places to invest in 2009 are Brazil, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and the Caribbean. Much of the current reporting in the media talks about falling property prices, but what in not generally realised is that now is not a bad time for property investment. It is not true that all economies are in negative growth and or that all property markets are falling. Local markets are dictated by supply and demand, which in many places has more effect than the global economy. As a result, there are a number of property markets around the world which still offer immediate growth opportunities. The key to getting this right is reliable research into identifying current growth and value opportunities. If you would like to know more about the countries we support, why not contact one of our agents, or download one of our country guides.

At Apehlium we look after your investment needs whatever they may be. The type of investment you should make depends on what you need from the property (for example holiday home or short-term investment), and this will effect which destination is right for you. For example, if you are looking for a holiday home that will pay for itself in rental income when you are not using it, you need a property that meets your accommodation needs, in a destination you want to spend holidays in, and which also has a strong rental market. If you are either a short-term investor or a long-term investor, you will need either a property that is going to appreciate rapidly in value, in a location where there will be plenty of people to sell to 2-3 years down the line, or a property in a country which has stable economic which will continue to push up house prices in the longer term. To help you make the choice that is right for you, we have narrowed down the selection by choosing the top five destinations we think will be the most lucrative for both short-term and long-term property investors.
