Panama is being heralded as having something for everybody when it comes to Fly to Let investment as buyers have a choice of mountains, beachfronts or city life in Panama city itself.

Ironically tourism interest in Panama, which has grown substantially in recent years, was given a boost by the headlines surrounding ‘missing’ canoe man John Darwin.

It coincided with the release of the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace, which was partly filmed in Panama.

One tour operator Journey Latin America, reported that sales to Panama have increased by 249 percent in the last year.

All Fly to Let properties are very affordable and acquiring them is a fairly straightforward for foreign buyers who get the same property ownership rights as the country’s population.

Plus the government in the South American country is trying to attract foreign investors by announcing an extension to the property tax exemption laws on both new and old property transactions.

Panama City continues to develop with luxury properties usually in high-rise buildings for sale. These apartments are popular and are often sold off plan.

If the high life doesn’t appeal, there is still plenty of choice of other existing city apartments and houses which are often cheaper than the new developments.

The cooler climate in the mountain countryside is also attractive and just as affordable. The most popular areas are in Chiriqui province.

Those looking for beachfront opportunities will find plenty on the Panama coastline which is still being developed.

An example of what is being touted to attract Fly to Let buyers is the Los Altos de San Carlos. For a certain period buyers were being offered a Guaranteed Leaseback Income of £3,500 per annum to each purchaser of a one bedroom apartment and £4,500 to each purchaser of a two bedroom apartment.

Apartments in Los Altos de San Carlos cost from £79,000.

• The French lakes and mountain property developer and holiday specialist, the MGM Group, has won prestigious industry awards for the fifth year running.

Two trophies were presented to Nathalie Turchet and Richard Deans from MGM’s London office at the Homes Overseas Awards ceremony in the Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Mayfair recently in recognition of the quality of residences de tourisme built by the company in the French Alps.

The leaseback ski developments of four-star standard are Les Clarines in Les Menuires, which won the Best Ski Development Silver Award, and Le Hameau de Pierre Blanche in Les Houches which has won the Best Development – France Category Silver Award.
