Jamaica is another of the Caribbean luxury crew – the islands that people dream of living on. This has been the case for a long time now, and coupled with the massive tourist trade in the country property prices have increased a huge amount in recent years. It is highly unlikely that a potential off plan investor will find themselves much in the way of a bargain these days, but the intrepid hunter is sure to find something to suit their tastes, so long as they don’t mind living on the outskirts of the established tourist areas.

Properties in Kingston and the resort areas like Montego Bay can go for anything from a few hundred thousand up to millions of pounds – there are many luxury properties and many opportunities for new builds to be invested in, and the vast majority are expensive at the very least. Property in other areas can prove cheaper – areas in the South of the country can even present bargains, but with them come problems: undesirable areas, for example. Even though this is the case, there are still many out of the way areas that are more than safe enough for the entire family and present property opportunities at affordable prices. It certainly involves a fair bit of hunting, but there are bargains to be had.

Jamaica is a beautiful country with pleasant weather all year round, good food, friendly people and a laid back way of life. The unfair reputation of the country may put people off moving there or even holidaying there, but this doesn’t seem to affect the economy in any way which sees tourism as the main source of income. Potential off plan investors looking for a buy-to-let property are sure to be on to a winning hand, and those looking for a second home or retirement haven shouldn’t be anything but pleased with what the island has to offer them.
