British TV show looking for Brits buying property in Beirut

Hi there,

I'm a TV Producer in London, UK, and I'm working on a new programme idea for Channel 4, about British people buying property overseas in places, which most people would see as conflict-ridden, or high risk. It could either be as an investment opportunity, or perhaps they have special ties to the place.

If anyone knows any Brits who are UK based, but thinking of buying in Beirut, I would love to hear more, so please do get in touch if you can help.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Mary

Does age of the buyer matter?

Hi Mary my aebi is yusif I am a British lebanese have lived in the uk for 18 years and my wife is English I just came to lebanon 4 months ago I have bought a house and open buinesses here and my wife and kids also came with me and they love beirut why I did that is because it's an investment for my children and family and second  property investment in the uk is not worth it because you will need at least £400000 to have a 3 bedroom house  in  a nice area in london that's if you are a cash buyer butoday if you want to take out a mortgage that's another stress as you will need to tell the bank your life history for the bank to even think to process  your application  that for the property side business is worse because you will need at least £50000 to start a small business with a 2% chance of success here in lebanon my flat in beirut cost  me $ 400000 cash and in the heart of beirut and it's a 487 square meters  which is divided  into 6 bedrooms and 2 toilet a sitting room a parlour round the flat balcony and 24 hours electricity because the building has a private generator for the building and buinesses is easier to start with different  offers their  is no credit check or history here.      Hope this helps if you need more info get intouch on ** have a lovely day
