The most desirable city to invest in Morocco

[BlueFish Propertyservices]

Hi Zela

I don't think that will happen, there are a lot more nationalities interested in Morocco than just the English. The French and Germans have been holidaying for some time now in places like Marrakech, Agadir and Essaouira. Also from what we have seen regarding sales, it's the Moroccan culture that attracts people to Morocco.

Zela speaks for himself ,and I dont know for what reason he made this statement and such crappy reaction.
In Morocco you can find all types of food , Moroccan, Middle Eastern food , Chinese, McDonalds and all other food.
English food can only add more choices , spice, and give it an International image, just like in any towns and cities in England.
I myself, I lived in Hull and had a restaurant there. There are Moroccan people like myself who have Moroccan restaurants serving Moroccan food alongside food from other countries. I dont see any problems with that , nor do English people. You make your choice.
In England you can find any type of restaurant , you can start looking from letter A to letter Z and you will find a restaurant / nationality.
This is what makes the UK a different and interesting country , exciting and not boring like many others.
The Moroccan government and the Moroccan people welcome the investment, regardless of where from.
Moroccanly yours.

I totally agree !! With Tanger MED and all the development and industrial projects in Tangier , I'm sure it will become one of the top cities of nothern africa in the near future !

I might be wrong but you have to say that from an investment view point that the entry into the market is reasonable compare to some investments and capital growth is forcast in around 15% which might be optamistic but never the less even if it falls short of that target it might be worth enrty. I beleive there is major re-development and with the new budget flights entering the equation well how know's. As investment's go I think Tangier is one for the future. I would love to know what other think.

I would have said Tanger but things where moveing forward but looking at it now
i dont think so...... why the Moroccans ????thay will not move forward the pepole from Tangier only want to sleep and get the money for nothing.

Moroccans from many parts of Morocco come to work in Tangier like from Rabat Casa but after a short stay thay go back never to return.... so if i was you look outside Tanger...........

I wouldnt waste your money the amount of racism towards foreign investors is incredible I have lived here now for 3 years and Im now returning to the UK

Every day is a battle of wills not only with language although I speak french, but with corruption with authority even to get a telephone line is a mamoth task requiring plenty of backhanders.

The expat community is shrinking along with the many real estate companies pulling out beacuse of the many problems. Dont beleive the brochure hype the return on property rental is minimal there are many unfinished and empty projects

Invest at your peril be warned there are plenty of locals waiting to pounce on the next unsuspecting victim, europeans are seen as an easy source of non taxable money source. Be very careful with property deeds I am currently helping one British Lady fight through the courts to correct the deeds to her flat, she signed arabic papers and does not own the property after spending £80,000.

Even finding a repuible lawyer is dificult, the British Consul is closing in Tangier when the current consul retires. You will constantly paying just to exisit from day to day just for basic amenities,

Dont forget the taxation system all the brochures tell you you are tax exempt for the first 5 years this is not true I sold one property after 3 years and had to pay the full 20% tax on the profit, its scams everywhere its one rule for locals and another for europeans

Well i think Tangier will be but must say B. As Moroccans in tangier dont like change,and that is what the King is trying to do.
But i must say that i have been liveing here for a long time, and i used to rent out my own apartments but no longer.

Yes tanger is and will be easy to get to but so is the rest of Morocco.

But i think that tangier will be a gost town with a lot's of apartments being built and sold as holiday apartments not used in the winter the town will be empty,many parts of the city is like that now with whole blocks of apartments closed up untill the summer.
