Clear information from the outset “As an investor in overseas property in an established market, France, I was nervous about investing in Romanian property. From the outset I was impressed by the clear, informative and factual ARD seminar… …explaining the possibilities for the investor by Romanians who clearly understood both their own market and the approach and concerns of a UK investor. At every stage prior to reserving my initial purchase off plan of an apartment at Tampa Gardens, Brasov, I found that ARD (Guy Holland) responded to my many questions quickly, factually and in a highly professional manner. There was no spin or hard sell and when I double-checked information I was given I found it to be correct. I am also impressed by the care ARD takes in selecting its investment opportunities. All this has encouraged me to continue to invest in Romania through ARD."

Honest, open advice “We were very apprehensive when purchasing our first overseas property and more so when buying in Romania, as we knew little of the country apart from information gained through research and the Internet. We gathered information about a few properties in Romania from several companies, one of them being ARD. I contacted Ramona at ARD on several occasions and had some long in depth conversations about the country and property in general - I was impressed because although we had been given details of properties for sale by ARD, I was never given 'the hard sell' during these conversations, just honest and open advice. After visiting the country and deciding to buy from Anglo Romanian Development, we have received help and support at every step. We did try to do some of the steps ourselves only to find out later that if we had told ARD what we were doing - they could have made it much easier! I always felt able to ring up and ask questions, no matter how small and our emails were always replied to. Our apartment in Brasov is now completed and we are in the final stages of furnishing , (with help once again - beyond the call of duty - from Ramona), and we are looking forward to our next investment.

Exceptional level of service “I have recently purchased an apartment in Bucharest through Anglo-Romanian Development. Throughout this process I found ARD and its staff to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and offering an exceptional level of service. I first visited Romania on a viewing trip with a very well promoted property investment company, which although very impressive did make me feel like just another potential client to be sold to. While I am sure that their properties will be a good investment, it was apparent that their strategy was focused on buying into very large developments, which they could quickly sell on to international investors, rather than finding properties offering the greatest return on investment. In comparison, ARD provided me with excellent and impartial advice; the facts and figures were presented from which I could make an informed decision – without any pressure. The fact that ARD is a smaller organisation is definitely a benefit – developments are selected on their investment potential and not just on volume. The fact that locals were also buying into the development gave me real confidence this was an excellent investment with a high growth potential. This was born out when the apartment increased in value before I had even paid the first instalment! I thoroughly recommend Anglo-Romanian Development to anyone looking to invest in the Romanian property market.”

Recommending Anglo-Romanian Development “Anglo-Romanian Development were a pleasure to deal with. They gave intelligent and informative responses to my questions and there were no surprises along the way. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone interested investing in Romania.”

Too good an opportunity to miss “I was introduced to Alex and Anglo Romanian Development through a friend in October 2005. I was initially a little hesitant about investing with a total stranger, and yet after meeting Alex and listening to what he had to say about investing in Romania, it just seemed too good an opportunity to miss. ARD have since turned around a short-term investment land deal with an amazing return. A thoroughly satisfying experience all-round!”

Intrigued by potential growth “I was introduced to ARD at an investment workshop recently and was intrigued by the potential growth that is available in the Romanian economy. The level of commitment being shown by large multinational investors and European Community funding all over Romania presents many financial opportunities to share in the economic expansion for those “in the know”. Alex was clearly enthusiastic about ARD who are ideally placed to take advantage of both their local knowledge in Romania coupled with their established links with the UK. I admit as a first time investor in land, and being cautious by nature, I had a number of preconceptions about investing in Eastern Europe and I needed to know more to assess the risks and look at the time frames involved. Alex was happy to meet and talk through all the investment details with me following the workshop in a very transparent manner. As a result I have taken my first small steps into the world of land investment with a land share contract in Cluj, predicted to provide good returns within a 3-year time frame. I feel very excited by the developments in Romania and also reassured by the support and information I received from ARD while making my decision. I look forward to expanding my interest in land and property and to building on this financial partnership with ARD in the years ahead.”

Yielding exceptional returns ARD have done a wonderful job in providing me with a short-term investment opportunity that has yielded an exceptional return. If wasn't for the fact that I'm consolidating to purchase a fitness leisure gym, I'd have continue to reinvest my capital with ARD. A very professional service!! This is a fantastic opportunity to invest in a Romania as they join the EU, it reminds me of the 90s boom. Thank you very much for your hard work.

Confident in the product and the company “Even thinking about investing in Romania from Australia struck me as highly risky when I first took a look at Alex’s proposition. But here I am one year as an investor with a high level of confidence in the product and the company which is managing my money. Why? Alex took a personal interest in my situation – I asked for, and received, positive references from others who had invested earlier; we evaluated various options to structure the investment given Australian tax rules and since taking the plunge I have enjoyed regular and open information flow which comes from his intimate knowledge of the country and the real estate opportunities which are his passion. I am sure we will actually meet one of these days but meanwhile I will continue to recommend friends and colleagues to take a closer look at a high integrity organisation offering a worthwhile “alternative investment”.

Comfortable with decision “I'm very impressed with how efficient everything has been working with ARD. Your staff were very patient, helpful and thorough with all discussions, so we are comfortable with our decision. In fact, I have friends who are very interested in investing in a similar offer and I will definitely recommend that they speak to you.”

Up 31% in just 7 months I had missed out on other Eastern European countries, so I am not going to miss out on Romania. I purchased land with Anglo-Romanian development and in the short space of just 7 months the value is up 31%. This is a great return and it is early days still. In my opinion, this is the best time to buy land as the market starts to grow due to Romania’s entry into the EU in 2007.”
