Why Invest in St Lucia
 St. Lucia.... Helen of the West Indies
The beautiful island of St Lucia is the quintessential tropical Caribbean Isle. It’s a sunshine paradise of soft sand beaches shade by towering palms, of intimate coves and colourful towns and villages where life is lived at an easy carefree pace. When you travel inland St. Lucia revels another side to her beauty with unspoilt rainforest ablaze with tropical orchids, colourful parrots and hummingbirds.
A landscape where waterfalls plunge into sparkling pools and sulphurous mud bubbles and steams in the worlds only drive in volcano. And who could fail to be enchanted by the coastline, where the Pitons – two giant volcanic peaks rising sheet from the Caribbean Sea have become the enduring symbol of the island.
St Lucia is everything you dreamed the Caribbean would be and the kind of place where relaxation comes easy and the pressures of everyday living simply fade away.
St. Lucia a Sound Investment
Just an eight hour flight away from London with return flights below £300, and 3 from New York, St. Lucia is one of the Caribbean’s most popular holiday destinations and increasingly a proffered choice for those seeking to invest in a home in the sun. As real estate in Barbados, where the market is more established is now out of price range for many buyers, St. Lucia is rising as its natural successor.
Prices are 60% below that of Barbados; with more and more people now realising that St. Lucia can never be over developed due to the topology of the land, making land value and property a top investment.
What’s more the island benefits from a stable government and economy, and there are very favourable tax concessions for property buyers from overseas
No Rental Income Tax No Capital Gains Tax No Inheritance Tax No Repatriation Tax
This all points to a fast maturing property market in St. Lucia with increasing prices, making an early commitment to a home a sound investment in lifestyle and real estate.
