Article Date : Monday, August 20, 2007
Plans by the Moroccan king to develop the country into a popular coastal resort is expected to attract a number of property developers and investors, it has been claimed.
According to Obelisk International, the availability of low-coast airfares, the country's maturing infrastructure and rising property prices marks Morocco as an emerging market with a great deal of potential.
The firm claims that property experts are predicting house prices will increase by 40 per cent over the next three years, delivering investors a rental yield of approximately ten per cent.
Daniel Shashoua, vice president of property developer Benisha, said: "The Moroccan government's commitment to increase the numbers of tourists is a real incentive for developers and investors alike."
Commenting on the market, Karl Morris, managing director of Simple Overseas Properties, recently said that Morocco offers both buy-to-let and "pure" investment opportunities.
Although still at the emerging stage, the Moroccan property market is beginning to grow "quickly", he added.
