			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LANCASTER HOTELS ANNOUNCE LAUNCH DATE FOR PHILIPPINE CONDOTEL OPERATIONS<br />
Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, North Carolina - 2007-11-02 - The Lancaster Suites located in Shaw Boulevard, Metro<br />

Hotel, and the Asian Development Bank, San Miguel Corporation and Banco de Oro Head Office, provides you with easy<br />
access to all the essentials of urban living. This ideal location will complement the Condotel operation since Lancaster<br />
Suites Manila will function as a condominium hotel – a preferred accommodation choice of businessmen and holiday<br />
travelers alike. Clients can either purchase Condotel Suites for investment purposes or lease the units on weekly, monthly or<br />
yearly basis.<br />
For the soft launch, LHLPI will prepare special promotional room rates aimed at budget and business travelers whilst longer<br />
term discounted rates for monthly and yearly lease rentals are also to be made available said Collingz. Room Rates from<br />
January 1, 2008 for Studio Suites will run $100/night whilst One Bedroom Suites are available from $120/night.<br />
Reservations are subject to room availability. Rates are inclusive of service charge and government tax. Children 12 years of<br />

Page 1/3<br />
Suites will have a scheduled shuttle service from the Hotel to Makati and Ortigas Center and vice versa.<br />
Clients wishing to purchase units may do so and we currently have a few Executive Studio Suite and One-Bedroom Suites<br />
available at Lancaster Suites at Pre-Operational Prices that will be “Ready For Use from December 2007”… at the current<br />
price said Collingz.<br />
All units at the Lancaster Suites have kitchen facilities. The standard unit price provides for the suite to be semi-finished but<br />
not fully furnished. Included in the current price are the interior finishing’s such as tiled &#038; semi-fitted bathrooms, bedrooms<br />
with simulated wood plank flooring, semi-fitted living and dining area with simulated wood plank floorings and lower<br />
kitchen cabinets/work tops installed. Walls and ceilings are painted cement finish. A complete optional extra interior fit-out<br />
package including unit fittings and fixtures, furniture’s, furnishings, air-conditioning, lighting fixtures and appliances will be<br />
available towards the time the units are closer to being completed. Monthly condo dues or maintenance fees are currently<br />
around 80 pesos/square meter of the unit floor area/month.<br />
Prospective or existing unit buyers may avail of up to 15 year mortgages for the purchase of all Lancaster Suites Tower I<br />
Condotel units with minimum equity of 30%. Banco De Oro (BDO) a commercial Bank in Metro Manila has just approved<br />
a buyer&#8217;s financing or mortgage plans for Lancaster Suites Tower I Manila Condotel units. The new financing scheme, a<br />
first providing Philippine Mortgages to Foreign Nationals residing overseas for Condotel units in the Philippines, is now<br />
available to unit owners (Filipinos, Filipino-Americans and Foreign Nationals alike) whom are looking to purchase a Condo<br />
Hotel Suite or refinance their investments through BDO&#8217;s Home Loan<br />
Lancaster Suites Tower I Manila Executive Studio Suites may be purchased with a Reservation Fee of -Pph- 25,000.00 then<br />
30% Down Payment of -Pph-659,583.34 within 30 days and the resulting balance payable over 12 equal consecutive<br />
monthly installments of -Pph-128,252.32. Interest Free. For clients intending to enroll units in the Condo Hotel Rental Pool<br />
a complete Condotel Suite &#8220;Fit-Out&#8221; package including all required items of furniture&#8217;s, furnishings, appliances,<br />
air-conditioning, kitchen utensils, dinnerware&#8217;s, linens etc is now available for Studio Suites ranging from -Pph-403,715.00<br />
said Collingz<br />
Metro Manila remains a popular choice with international buyers and institutional investors. Collingz says clients tell her<br />
that it makes more sense to buy in a year-round vacation destinations and business centers. Lancaster - The Atrium Condotel<br />
developments by Pacific Concord Properties located in Shaw Boulevard, Metro Manila - fits the bill with all it offers to<br />
International buyers.<br />
Accessibility is also a factor. “Flights from London to Manila, for example, average just 16 hours, add to that the many<br />
airline specials and it’s easy to see why this area is becoming an international community.” Unlike other offshore rental<br />
properties, where the rental market is largely seasonal, in the Philippines there is a strong market for rental properties year<br />
round. This gives buyers greater flexibility in choosing when to use and when to rent their property. The strong<br />
rental/second home market also has resulted in a proliferation of professional property managers and rental agents, making<br />
property ownership and rental easy. Pacific Concord Properties Inc with its flagship Lancaster Condotel Developments fit’s<br />
the bill enthuses Collingz.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, North Carolina - 2007-09-10 - Nuevo cash rich Russians have been buying high end property in the UK. Now, despite London still being a popular destination, the new emerging middle class turn to cheaper and more affordable properties where the sun shines. First-time Russian overseas buyers are now looking at South-East Asia and particularly the Philippines. Persistent bad<br />
weather has also encouraged people to buy homes in places where sunshine can be relied on and prices are a fraction of those in Europe.<br />
Beth Collingz, PLC International Marketing Director for Pacific Concord Properties Inc&#8217;s Lancaster Brand of Apart-Hotels or Condotels in the Philippines sees the next growth market for real estate in the country coming from Russian nationals on the back of the marked increase in first time property buyers from Russia entering the Philippines. According to statistics from the Philippines Department of Tourism, the country was able to attract some 12,000 Russian visitors last year. When visiting the Philippines, Cebu fell second to Boracay as a destination preference. If Russians can afford $1,500- to $2,500-trips to the Philippines, then give them an opportunity to spend their money on real estate specially Condo Hotel Investments where they can use the apartments for vacations and earn an income when back home, because they are willing to spend more for their stay here, after all, Russians, like the Japanese, are known to be high spenders, Collingz said. Citing official airline records, Collingz said that in the last three years, Russia ranks 10th among the world&#8217;s top spenders on international tourism amounting to $12 billion to $14 billion annually. With that kind of spending power, real estate investments will surely follow in the destinations being made popular amongst the Russian middle class. Moreover, potential, high rates of rental returns from Condo Hotel Investments in the Philippines, up to 16% per annum, opens up a<br />
huge new market. adds Collingz.</p>
<p>Collingz said Pacific Concord Properties, Inc., Flagship Lancaster Condo Hotel [Manila] located along Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila, and its Lancaster Cebu developments a few minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, are currently some of the hottest Condotel Investments in the Philippines and ideal first time investment property for foreign nationals. Lancaster - The Atrium is accepting Reservations for Studio, One, Two &#038; Three Bedroom Suites adopting International Standard Escrow Trust Account “Buyer Safe” Easy Secure Payment Plans… with 6 year interest free payment terms or up to 12 year &#8220;In-House&#8221; financing available, whilst PCPI’s Lancaster Cebu Resort Residences offers fully furnished, ready for occupancy Studio and Two bedroom suites on 2 year payment plans. With full condo ownership and minimum monthly maintenance fees, you really should take a moment to look at these Philippine Condotel Investment Opportunity enthused Collingz.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2"><strong>Apart-hotels are becoming a significant trend in property investments in the Philippines according to PLC International Marketing Networks, key experts in this ever growing market place</strong>.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Beth Collingz, PLC Global Marketing Director of PLC International Marketing Networks, the lead marketing partners for Pacific Concord Properties Inc Lancaster Brand of Condo Hotels in the Philippines says Apart-hotels or Condotels as they are know locally are really growing in popularity among British and European investors. In the last two months alone we have sold a significant number of apart-hotel units both in the UK and Europe.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Apart-hotels are an opportunity for investors to purchase into a new asset class with much higher yields than traditional buy-to-let properties.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The rental opportunity is achieved through a need for hotel accommodation, rather than residential letting markets. There are three key reasons why buyers are keen to invest in Apart-hotels or Condotels in the Philippines” Collingz continues, Firstly, it’s a completely hands-off investment: the developer builds the hotel, and the management company runs it. Their job is to operate the hotel, maintain it and ensure maximum room occupancy and, as they receive a percentage of the nightly room rate, they are motivated to do so.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Secondly, because investors income is a percentage of the nightly, weekly or monthly room rate of the rental operations pool of all the units in the development rather than a monthly income from a single rented property, they are not exposed to substantial monthly deficits.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">From a financial perspective, the income level compares favorably with traditional buy-to-let. Generally, expected income levels are sizeable 12-16% ROI per annum would not be unusual in a well-selected apart-hotel. If suggested income levels on a development are much below 10%, we would not consider promoting it as it would not represent a good investment opportunity for our clients said Collingz.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">In the Philippines this form of investment seems set to outstrip the traditional buy-to-let rental market. At present, Metro Manila and regional towns such as Cebu, lack hotel rooms meaning that occupancy levels in any developments are likely to be high.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Most new investors in the Lancaster Suites Manila are established UK property investors who are looking for a UK product with a higher yield and no operating deficits. However, Apart-hotels are also attracting first time buyers looking to establish themselves on the property ladder whilst making yearly income as well.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Demand for apart-hotels is increasing as investors become more aware and better informed about the opportunities on offer. And whilst finding financing for overseas property has been difficult in the past, PCPI offers all buyers a no prequalification In-House 12 year payment plan with zero down payment, making the entry level open to may first time investors.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Lancaster - The Atrium, located in Shaw Boulevard, Metro Manila, is a “Full Service” Apart-Hotel [”Condotel”] offering Studio, One, Two and Three Bedroom Suites for sale. To be completed and ready for turnover from December 2010, Lancaster will provide unit owners with premier residential condo units with the option of enrolling their units in the Lancaster Rental Pool and earn Rental Incomes as Owner Non-Residents when not using their units. This makes Lancaster Manila, one of the Hottest Investment Opportunities in the Philippines said Collingz.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">All units at the Lancaster Suites have kitchen facilities. The standard unit price provides for the suite to be semi-finished but not fully furnished. Included in the current price are the interior finishing’s such as tiled &#038; semi-fitted bathrooms, bedrooms with simulated wood plank flooring, semi-fitted living and dining area with simulated wood plank floorings and lower kitchen cabinets/work tops installed. Walls and ceilings are painted cement finish. A complete optional extra interior fit-out package including unit fittings and fixtures, furniture’s, furnishings, air-conditioning, lighting fixtures and appliances will be available towards the time the units are closer to being completed continued Collingz.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mandaluyong, Metro Manila - 2007-06-22 - UK Tax Payers are taking advantage of tax incentives and Investing their Self-Invested Pension Plan [SIPP] In Philippine Condotel Investment Real Estate for Rental Income and Retirement .</p>
<p>Beth Collingz, PLC International Marketing Director for Pacific Concord Properties Lancaster Brand of Condotels in the Philippines in a Press Conference with International Investors from the United Kingdom held recently at Shangri-La Mactan Resort Hotel in Cebu, reckoned - &#8220;Thousands of people in the UK are beginning to catch on&#8221;.</p>
<p><!--adsense#Google--><a id="more-26"></a></p>
<p>A Self Invested Pension Plan [SIPP] is a personal pension plan but with one very significant difference: administration is separate from investment content, giving the plan holder freedom to choose for himself and change the investments within it. The long-awaited rules on what savers can include in their personal pension plans were unveiled in April 2006 by HM Revenue &#038; Customs. The Guidance Notes confirm that the Chancellor is permitting Self Invested Pension Plan [SIPP] holders to invest in hotels such as the Lancaster Brand of Condo Hotels in the Philippines. The only stipulation is that SIPP holders may not stay in their rooms. With more nights available for paying guests, this not surprisingly increases the room owners&#8217; returns. It is estimated there are now more than 70,000 plans holding over £14bn.</p>
<p>A year or so ago, few people in the UK realized that they could manage their Pension Plan portfolios themselves, and even fewer knew that they could invest their SIPP retirement money in homes in the sun which now prove to be among the most popular potential investments to include in a SIPP.</p>
<p>If you’re considering using your SIPP to invest in real estate, there are some excellent reasons that you should choose Philippine Condotel Investment real estate to drive your retirement portfolio into high profit margins. The Philippines is ideal for this type of investment because a SIPP can establish title to a property in a country whose legal framework recognizes trusts – and a SIPP is simply another form of trust.</p>
<p>“Investing in foreign real estate is neither as risky nor as tricky as a lot of people would have you believe. While land and housing prices in the U.K. have soared astronomically in the past decade, the world real estate market is a far different story.</p>
<p>It’s still possible to buy a preconstruction Condotel suite at Lancaster – The Atrium located in Metro Manila, Philippines, for less than GBP £25,000.00”. Lancaster Manila Atrium Tower A, Shaw Boulevard, Metro Manila, Philippines is a &#8220;Full Service&#8221; Condominium Hotel [&#8221;Condotel&#8221;] offering Studio, One, Two and Three Bedroom Suites for sale. To be completed and ready for turnover from December 2010, the Lancaster Suites Manila Atrium Tower II will provide unit owners with premier residential condo units with the option of enrolling their units in the Lancaster Condotel Rental Pool and earn Rental Incomes [at current purchase levels] of some 12-16% ROI per annum as Owner Non-Residents when not using their units through Condotel Management.</p>
<p>This makes Lancaster Suites one of the Hottest Investment Opportunities in the Philippines. “The beauty of holding property in the Philippines is the low cost of property taxes and maintenance. A GBP £25,000 Condotel suite may set you back GBP £100 in property taxes per year, and maintenance costs are similarly low. When you add in the tax-protected status of investments made in your IRA, and the 12-16% returns through rental income through the Condotel advantage, you have an incredible ROI on a purchase of Philippine Condotel investment real estate” enthused Collingz.</p>
<p>What’s the downside about owning Philippine Condotel Investment real estate as an SIPP investment? You cannot reside at your investment property as long as the SIPP is titled as the owner of the property. The self directed pension plan rules about benefiting personally from your investments are strict - you are not allowed to make use of any property owned by your SIPP, or you risk losing its tax-protected status and worse yet you could face penalties from HM Customs &#038; Excise. You can, however, rent out your SIPP investment for steady income - putting the profits and cash flow into your SIPP, or sell your Philippine Real Estate Investment for immediate profit, as long as those profits remain inside the SIPP.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for an unusual and high earning investment for your SIPP, then take a serious look at owning Philippine Condotel investment real estate. It can help kick your SIPP earnings into high gear.</p>
<p>With the impending slowdown of the UK. housing market and failing pension plans, many investors are turning to using their SIPP’s to invest in overseas properties and earn tax-free or tax-deferred income. This creates an outstanding opportunity for by offering self-directed pension plan vehicle to invest in the Lancaster Suites Atrium Tower pre-construction units.</p>
<p>With preconstruction property appreciating at some 20-30% per annum not only does the Real Estate Appreciation look good but the rental income is in excess of what many Pension Plans offer for the same or similar investment.</p>
<p>Beth Collingz says that many new investors are looking to replace failed pension plans and other future saving schemes with a solid investment in Real Estate. “Clients are looking for investments that will give them an income for retirement as an alternative to traditional private pension plans that have failed. Most company pension plans are insufficient as are Government Pensions. Bank rates for Savings accounts are at record lows. Savvy investors are now looking for a more solid investment with potential for monthly income. Condotels in the Philippines fit the bill”.</p>
<p>This potential, high rates of rental returns from Condotel Investments, currently from 12% up to 16% per annum, opens up a huge market not traditionally looked at by Real Estate Agents and Brokers whom all so often run around looking for normal residential profile “buyers” without looking at the by far bigger picture of investments, investing and retirement. &#8220;We’re here to help our clients, educating our clients and advising them of emerging investment opportunities. Self-Invested Pension Plans and the Lancaster Suites Atrium Condotels, fit this bill exactly”; adds Collingz.</p>

A year or so ago, few people realized that they could manage their IRA investment portfolios themselves, and even fewer knew that they could invest their IRA retirement money in something other than stocks and bonds. As of last year, finance and retirement experts suggest that approximately 2% of the nations $3 trillion in IRA investment is stashed in real estate and other non-traditional investment vehicles. If you’re considering using your IRA savings to invest in real estate, there are some excellent reasons that you should choose Philippine Condotel Investment real estate to drive your retirement portfolio into high profit margins.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Condotels&#8221; (Condominium-Hotel) combines the convenience of a residential condo with the amenities of a hotel.</p>
<p>After signing with the hotel management team who will operate the project as a world class serviced apartment, unit owners in a &#8220;Condotel&#8221; join the rental pool. A serviced apartment is run just like a hotel but guests usually stay on a long term basis. For the tenant, this means savings since he is not charged a daily rate nor does he have to put up a security deposit like in a regular apartment.</p>
<p><!--adsense#myads--></p>
<p>Aside from real estate appreciation, unit owners receive a steady monthly income based on the size of their unit regardless of whether said unit was leased or not. This is because the hotel management will pool together total income of the entire hotel and distribute this to unit owners net of any expense based upon unit floor area. This makes the investment cost efficient and practically risk free.</p>
<p>Unit owners in the rental pool enjoy totally hassle-free CONDOTEL management. They need not worry about unpaid electricity bills, unpaid rent, and other problems so common in conventional leasing. All concerns, down to the payment of electricity bills and utilities are taken cared of by the professional hotel management operator. Unit owners can sit back, relax, and wait for their monthly rental income from anywhere around the world.
