Developer Buy-back Option
Investors seeking a guaranteed return on the investment have the choice to include a developer buy-back option when purchasing a plot.
The buy-back option provides the Developer with the opportunity to repurchase a plot at any time during the 5 year payment period.
By exercising the buy-back option, the Developer agrees to purchase the land at 20% above the purchase price. This equates to a total re-purchase value of £180,000.00.
In exchange for the buy-back option the Developer agrees to pay the investor a guaranteed return of 20% over 5 years (4% per annum). This equates to a total 5 year yield of £30,000.00.

Investment Return
Year 1 £46,000 £6,000 13.0%
Year 2 £72,000 £12,000 16.6%
Year 3 £98,000 £18,000 18.4%
Year 4 £124,000 £24,000 19.3%
Year 5 £150,000 £30,000 20.0%
If the buy-back option is exercised the investor will still receive the full 20% return with the outstanding balance compounded into one final payment.
The buy-back value is calculated as the re-purchase value (£180k) minus the balance due on payments, plus the compounded return.
Exit Strategy - With the Buy-back Option
The Developer predicts that land prices will increase significantly over the next few years. The Developer buy-back option allows the Developer to repurchase plots complete with infrastructure and a turnkey architectural project at a fixed price whilst still providing a strong return for investors.
If the clause is not exercised after 5 years, the investor is free to independently sell the plot and turnkey architectural project at market value, whilst retaining the guaranteed yield of 20%.
Exit Strategy - Without the Buy-back Option
The completion of infrastructure and the inclusion of House in a Box significantly enhances the potential sales value of each plot. The addition of a turnkey architectural project is perfect for buyers who are looking for a simple, stress-free solution to building a property in the Cayman Islands. This unique selling point gives this product a competitive edge in the current market.
Based on the growing demand for quality modern housing in the Cayman Islands and strong predictions for population growth, there is an expanding local and international market for turnkey land opportunities and constructed properties.
The Developer has plans to establish a Sales & Project Management office in the Cayman Islands in the beginning of 2011. Resale plots can then be marketed locally on behalf of investors.
What is a SIPP?
A Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a Registered Pension Scheme for the purposes of Section150 of the Finance Act 2004, and is a product regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
SIPPs are designed for people who want to manage their own fund by dealing with, and switching their investments when they choose. With standard personal pension schemes, investments are managed within the pooled fund the contributor has chosen. SIPPs, however, are a form of personal pension scheme that give individuals the freedom to choose and manage their own investments. SIPPs may allow one to select from a range of assets, which include certain types of real estate.
