Boavista Golf Resort, near Lagos on the Western Algarve, has launched the ideal scheme for those ready to take the first step on the overseas property ladder.

The Resort, developed by Cheshire-based Jones Homes Portugal, is offering a limited number of select properties under a freehold ¼ share scheme. The availability of such schemes is rare on The Algarve and it means some lucky owners can, for example, enjoy a luxurious, fully-furnished 2-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment with garage for just over £77,000, based on a 13-week per year rotating occupancy.

Other properties include a 4-bedroom 3-bathroom semi-detached villa with garage and a 3-bedroom 3-bathroom link villa with parking. In each case the cost of the property is divided into four equal parts with secured individual deeds and is legally the same as purchasing any property in Portugal.

Fractional ownership offers a number of distinct advantages. Owners enjoy the benefit of capital growth from their share and at the same time pay only a proportion of condominium and running costs on things like pool maintenance, rates and utilities etc. On unused weeks owners can rent out the property and there is discounted golf membership. Prospective owners can also put faith in Jones' 30 year's of building experience on the Algarve and almost 50 years in the UK. As such they can rely on a knowledgeable sales team to guide buyers through the process and on Careways Management Services to provide a professional on-site property management service.

Widely regarded as the golfing jewel of the Algarve, Boavista's stunning ¼ share properties offer fully-furnished luxury accommodation to the highest standards. Each is set within the contours of the beautifully landscaped Championship course. The Resort's brand new state-of-the-art Clubhouse provides first class dining and entertainment facilities, a heated indoor pool and a luxurious fully-equipped Essential Fitness health spa. Add communal outdoor swimming pools, golden beaches nearby and a host of cultural attractions around Lagos, then Boavista really is the perfect holiday home and golfing destination.
