MARRAKECH PART 1 WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT With the prospect of travel at last a reality, many of us are now considering a trip to visit friends and family in Europe and the UK. From there it is only a 3-4 hours ÚJHIU OPUIJOH UP VT MPOH IBVMFST UP HP UP .PSSPDDP where Marrakech the capital, is ideal if you wish to tag PO B EBZ DJUZ CSFBL From the city's airport, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the Medina, the oldest part of the city. This is the ideal location for anyone wishing to indulge in the authentic Moroccan experience. Choose to stay at a Riad, a traditional Moroccan style house built around a courtyard with trees or a small swimming pool at it's centre and a dining terrace on the roof. You will be amazed at the number and choice available at reasonable rates. Once you have done this, you would be well advised to book your taxi through them as it will need to drop you outside the ancient city walls to be collected by someone from your Riad who will guide you through the narrow streets. Cars are not allowed here, expect to see only motorbikes and donkeys.

From this perfect vantage point, it is just strolling distance to Jemaa El-Fna square and the souks. Jemaa el-Fna is a vast open square at the heart of the Medina and now a Unesco world heritage site. Expect to see snake charmers and street entertainers but watch out that your hand is not grabbed by over-enthusiastic henna artists and don't stay too long by a pet monkey or snake charmer as they may try to scam you into an expensive photo. Go at dusk and then head up to a rooftop bar to really appreciate the sunset.

Marrakech is famous for its souks which are markets selling everything from rugs, leather goods, silverware and crockery. Place des Épices is the traditional spice souk and as with everything you choose to buy here in this labyrinth, expect to do some haggling with the traders before you agree on a price. Also, because of the aforementioned motorbikes, it is a good idea to stay on the righthand side of the alley to avoid being run into.

You should also look like you know where you are going and use Google maps rather than an actual paper map otherwise, seemingly friendly locals may try to steer you into their shops by offering to show you the way to a local point of interest.

You might also wish to try some refreshing mint tea but expect this to be rather sweet so ask beforehand not to have sugar added if you prefer.

BUYING OFF-PLAN PROPERTY

ff-plan property purchase is the purchase of a property which has not been built yet, or that does not actually exist, or is currently under construction upon signing the contract. Therefore, the decision is made with only the location and proposed building plans are available for assessment.

BENEFITS Buying off-plan is one of the easiest ways to acquire a property. Most property developers offer very attractive payment terms. These terms would allow you to pay a small deposit which you DBO TFUUMF JO TFWFSBM ÚFYJCMF UFSNT BOE ZPV POMZ OFFE UP QBZ UIF balance after the property has come to completion. This provides CVZFST XJUI UJNF UP QMBO UIFJS ÙOBODFT Buyers who purchases in the early phase of a development can choose the best units. The units that would, in time, offer highest capital appreciation, and will also generate the greatest rental incomes. The prices of off-plan properties are generally very competitive and locked at the market price as of the contract date. Properties appreciate in value between the period of buying off the plan to the project’s completion date. Properties purchased closer to completion will be more expensive than those purchased early. This is due to the fact that as the demand rises and after selling more units, the prices of all the remaining units also increases.

RISKS • Buying a property that you cannot physically see or

Therefore, the buyer does not know exactly the quality and how the property will look after completion. • One of the biggest risks in buying off-plan properties are project delays. In a worst-case scenario, the developer goes bankrupt before completion so there would be a possibility of cancellation of the project and contract. Some property developers do not have their own funds but instead sources fund GSPN UIF CVZFST BOE PUIFS ÙOBODJBM JOTUJUVUJPOT • Sometimes a developer may not have received preapproval. The design or dimensions of the property may change to achieve EIA and committee approval. • It is possible that after the completion, the property’s value is worth less than what is paid for.

HOW TO AVOID THE RISKS? It is important to seek legal advice and to begin conducting a thorough due diligence before signing any binding contract or paying any money.
