Having started in Sunny Spain helping many Irish Clients to their own place in the sun , Chris Aherne has decided to make the world his oyster and he now provides a service to irish clients sourcing on their behalf propertys to purchase for lifetstyle and investment in over 20 destinations worldwide and expanding . "It was time to provide a one stop centre for Overseas Property in Cork and we called it OverseasCork"

For Chris Aherne setting up his own one stop Overseas Property Agency was an ambition he has longed to fulfill . For many years Chris was the face of Iberian International in Munster , a company Chris readily acknowledges he gained great experience with in helping people fulfil their dream of owning their holiday home in the Sun .

Time sadly waits for no one and as the world becomes smaller place chris felt it was the rIght time to strike out to new destinations and to offer his clients exciting investment opportunities worldwide . I started with 4 countrys Spain, Cyprus , Bulgaria and Turkey but quickly I expanded . Our portfolio now includes Thailand , Venezuela ,Brazil , Malaysia , Italy, Greek Islands ,Morroco and many more exotic places and for other clients we offer France , Poland and the UK .

Now chris act s for Overseas developers and Estate Agents who are looking to expand into the Irish marketplace . The Irish love property and recent reports which point out we are one of the richest economys in the world can truly stem from our desire and know how to make a decent return on our property investments here and abroad .

This market can change over night and the doom and gloom of sub prime lending crisis , credit squeeze and horror storys from irish clients who got badly burnt overseas has reinforced chris view that investing abroad requires courage , due diligence and careful research and this is where Overseas Cork comes in .

Looking ahead to 2008 , the slowdown in the irish property market and some buy to let investors from 3 years back facing losses on their overseas investment combined with a crack down on illegal investments and tax evasion along with demolition of thousands of propertys built with no planning , chris says these are signs that should encourage people to buy Overseas Property not put them off .The market will now attract quality shrewd buyers , not buyers who are going to default at the first sign of strain, We will see a lot of people make a lot of sensible decisions to buy good property in good locations around the world .

This is where Overseas Cork comes in , we match quality well researched developments and locations with our clients requirements which are varied and wideranging.

Investors are looking for really good returns and we have developmentsto satisfy their desire for value – for example we have an exclusive development on the Isle of Margarita off the Venezuelan mainland where we can offer a 7% net guaranteed rent package per annum over 10 years and the client only has to come up with a 30% deposit which is bank guaranteed taking the risk out of the equation . All your management and maintenance costs are covered and the the rental income will pay any borrowing requirement a client enters into over a 10 year period and in ten years time your property will have risen dramatically in value as you would expect from a frontline Beach location with all amenities in place and add in the construction of a Formula 1 track on the island and the strength of this tourist destination this really is a great investment.
