Making global connections under one roof

They say that property is all about ‘location, location, location’ – but it’s equally about ‘connections, connections, connections’. Anyone searching for their dream property, whether for residence or investment, knows how important specialist connections are to making it a success. It might be a legal firm with expertise in structuring high-value, cross-border estates, or a currency expert dedicated to ring-fencing your capital against the risk of the live markets.

These connections are invaluable. But finding them can be a long and drawn-out process – until now. This autumn, a unique selection of experts from around the globe is set to converge in London at The Luxury Property Show. 

A unique selection of property experts from around the world

The Luxury Property Show has made its name as the only event of its kind in Europe, bringing together experts in property investment from around the world under one roof.

Gone are the days of multiple flights, phone calls at awkward times and hours invested in just finding the people who can help you with your property search. Whether it’s from New York, Dubai, Italy, Switzerland or the show’s home of London, over twenty-one specialists have already confirmed their attendance at the event with several months yet to go. The list includes some of the most highly-regarded names in the business, including Corcoran, Mayfair International, Montague Property and Meraas Dubai.

They are confident about the future of the luxury property market – and have insider advice on weathering any political or economic uncertainty. As Abigail Normand from exhibitor IAD Portugal told us, ‘No matter what happens with Brexit, the door of Portugal will always be open, no matter what happens.’

Expert financial guidance across borders

One of the thorniest issues for many international property investors or buyers is balancing different financial regulations and needs – and making sure their funds are safeguarded against risk.

Tried and trusted wealth advisors Blevins Frank will be returning to The Luxury Property Show, to offer guidance on international tax, estate planning, pensions, trusts and more. Take, for example, the recent Brussels IV regulation, allowing you to change the country by whose law you structure your estate. How will this work after Brexit? What does it mean for anyone based outside the European Union? Guests will find the answers to these questions and more at the show.

Platinum sponsors Smart Premier will also be on hand to provide expert advice on safe international transfers. As David Comber, Head of Private Client Trading, told us:

‘The biggest risk in a high-value property purchase is market volatility. Exchange rates change by the minute – between putting in an offer and making a deposit, you could see the price change drastically. A €1,000,000 property in the past twelve months has changed value in pound sterling, for example, by £66,000. We can completely remove that risk by securing a fixed exchange rate – so your money is completely ring-fenced against the live markets.’

Luxury experiences and the latest technology

The Luxury Property Show has made a name for itself as a destination in its own right and it’s in no small part due to the array of luxury lifestyle experiences guests can partake in at the event. Thinking of buying a golf home in one of the exclusive Algarve resorts? Why not try your hand at the GolfZone simulator while you take a break? Network and meet other investors – again, it’s all about the quality of connections – at the exclusive champagne bar, provided by Champagne Piaff.

And, as if having experts from around the world under one roof wasn’t enough, you can even experience the properties themselves without leaving the show. Rightmove’s VR experience gives you a new insight into thousands of homes in the world’s most desirable locations – without so much as setting foot on a plane!

The Luxury Property Show will take place from 31^st October to 1^st November at Olympia London. Tickets are highly sought after, so don’t wait. Secure yours today online at theluxurypropertyshow.com. If you’re interested in exhibiting, contact dean.biddulph@theluxurypropertyshow.com
