Modern Bridgerton couples + Pets

Just thinking about which kind of domesticated menaces they would bring into their homes.

Saphne: their first pet is definitely a Basset Hound because Daphne is a dork. Name is Princess, she is super cute. Simon later decides he can't take being outnumbered and gets a Pitbull (with some manly name like Maverick) to teach Princess how to be a good guardian dog. Jokes on him the Pitbull ends up twice as spoiled as the Basset hound and follows him everywhere huffing for cuddles.

Kanthony: They have Newton the demon corgi, although they probably get a mate for Newton at some point and just enjoy life as proud corgi grandparents when Newton & wife begin making puppies. They most likely end up with a houseful of corgis because Kate is not okay with neutering Newton and Anthony can't deny her anything.

Benophie: These two are definitely bird people. All their birds are rescue and they keep them in a special open part of My Cottage greenhouse, while rehabilitating broken wings. Officially they have a chicken, two parrots, a parakeet and a Cockatoo (Pollock, Picasso, Monet, Dali and Frida) but they feed every bluejay, canary, raven or winged personality that comes to their birdhouses. So you never really know exactly how many birds they actually have at home.

Polin: I want to say they are also Dog people. But Colin just looks like the guy who has a thing for exotic reptiles whenever he travels. And Penelope would definitely appreciate the irony of owning a Chameleon. Also their pets would be the protected species kind that need their own enclosure. Colin has Popcorn, a Blue Iguana, which he rescued in the Cayman Islands and a couple of very colorful Geckos (Muffin and Nugget). while Penelope just keeps a tortoise she's had since she was little called Lola, and a blue Panther Chameleon called Ozzy, that Colin got her for her 16th birthday. (her chameleon is the boss of that house)

Philoise: Eloise has a grey Persian Cat that looks perpetually grumpy called Napoleon, Phillip has a brown Saint Bernard that he calls Noel but his kids call Noodle. El's cat did not take it well when Eloise moved in with Phillip and the twins, simply because the dog was being way too friendly with Eloise. And the cat wasn't having it. So he marked his territory in a very feline way.

Franchel: Michael was never much for pets, but Francesca has a whole aquarium of Koi fish in her apartment and loves to add pieces of decorations to it so the fishes begin growing on him. After the get married, Michael actually builds Fran a pond with it's own ecosystem so she can raise her Koi in relative freedom outside of the small aquarium they are used to.

Hyraeth: These two are not exactly pet people, but I feel like teenage Gareth owns a horse that he takes care of very well and Hyacinth is persuaded to help out with his horse and begins loving it as well so she gets Anthony to buy her a pony which she names Twilight Sparkle. they both grow up to be very responsible horse owners.

Grucy: they share ownership over the class pet in Elementary school. A spotted bunny named Waldo. And they low key treat the rabbit as their child. Since Lucy is technically not allowed to have pets by her uncle and Gregory was banned from the pet store after the last 'free the animals' incident he was involved in

Pros and Cons of Buying a Condominium in the Cayman Islands

Every family or individual has a unique wishlist for finding their next home. The ideal property should align with the buyer’s lifestyle, taste, and work or family requirements. There are many properties available, so knowing all your Cayman Islands real estate options makes it easier to choose the right one.

One option is a condominium or condo. If you want a home with low maintenance and a strong sense of community, a condo might be perfect for you.

To help you understand what owning condos in the Cayman Islands is like, we’ve listed some pros and cons.

Why Condos Are the Best Option to Invest in Cayman

The Cayman Islands are an excellent destination for investors and future homeowners, with numerous land, house, and condo options. Condominiums are a wise and economical choice.

They are typically less expensive than single-family homes and offer maintenance services for shared areas and exteriors. Many condos provide attractive amenities such as pools, gyms, and social rooms and additional security features such as gated entrances and cameras.

Condos in desirable locations can also generate consistent rental revenue, and common areas and events serve to foster community. To make an informed purchase decision, research and consult a reputable Cayman real estate company.

Benefits of Buying a Condominium in Cayman Islands 

1. No More Maintenance Worries

Owning a condo means enjoying the perks of homeownership without stressing over chores like yard work or fixing up the exterior. Your condo association handles all that for a fee.

2. Enjoy Luxury Amenities

Condo living often comes with access to shared facilities like gyms and pools, giving you access to amenities you might not afford on your own in a traditional house.

3. Affordable Option

Condos typically cost less than standalone homes, making them a more accessible choice for many buyers. 

4. Ready to Move In

Some condos come fully furnished, saving you the hassle of buying and moving furniture. Plus, if interior design isn't your forte, that's no problem.

5. Community Feel

Living in a condo means becoming part of a larger community where you can make connections with neighbors and feel a sense of belonging. Remember that not all communities are alike, so do your homework.

6. Safety First

Condo complexes often offer security features like guards and call boxes, providing peace of mind for residents. Being part of a community can make leaving home for extended periods feel safer.

7. Personalize Your Space

When you own a condo, you're free to make changes to suit your taste, whether that's painting walls or making other improvements without needing permission.

8. Close to the Action

Many condos are in vibrant neighborhoods with plenty of dining and entertainment options. You might even be able to ditch the car and walk to work, saving on transportation costs.

9. Managed Living

Condo associations ensure everyone follows the rules and maintains the community's standards. They also organize events to foster a sense of community and ensure residents' happiness.

10. Build Your Wealth

Buying a condo allows you to build equity, increasing your financial stake in the property over time and potentially providing a profit if you decide to sell in the future.

Drawbacks of Investing in Condos

1. Monthly fees: Monthly fees: Condo living offers numerous benefits, but there are monthly fees for property maintenance, security, and recreational facilities. These fees and mortgage and other obligations can accumulate over time, so budgeting is essential for minimizing financial stress.

2. Community Regulations: Living in a condo necessitates adhering to community standards, such as pet policies and event hosting guidelines. Understanding these constraints ensures that they are appropriate for your living situation.

3. Resale Challenges: Selling condominiums might be difficult due to a narrower buyer market and potential concerns about association fees and rules. This might increase buyers' financial risk and make reselling more difficult.

4. Privacy Concerns: Condo living may lack the privacy of single-family homes, with shared walls and proximity to neighbors potentially leading to noise disturbances. Consider your tolerance for communal living before making a decision.

5. Delinquency Impact: To run properly, condo communities rely on residents paying association dues on time. Delinquent payments burden other residents, compromising community maintenance and services. 

6. Limited Land Ownership: Since land ownership is shared by community members, owning a condo only entitles one to the property above ground. This lessens the need for outside upkeep and gives less control over how the land is used.

7. Storage Constraints: Condos typically offer limited storage space, necessitating careful consideration of personal possessions and large items. Additional storage units may be available but may not accommodate significant belongings.

Final Words

If you're considering a condo as your next home, consider whether it fits your lifestyle and whether you're ready for financial responsibility. After reviewing these advantages and disadvantages of buying condos for sale in Cayman Islands, we hope you'll have a clear idea of what's right for you and get closer to finding your dream home, whether it's a condo or something else.

Surf expo 2021 september

"The main concern has been safety," said Roy Turner, Surf Expo Show Director.īefore deciding to move forward with the in-person component at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), "We did research among exhibitors and attendees to determine: first, is there a market need? and second, are people willing to participate?" Turner said. The call to move forward with Surf Expo in Orlando in 2021 was complicated by so many conflicting factors the pandemic, health and safety, the fact that Florida is open for business, and market needs. I expect Q1 to be really strong for all shows.Editor's note: ALHI is republishing this case study with permission from the Society of Independent Show Organizers (SISO) in an effort to increase education on planning and executing large-scale events, trade shows and exhibitions. “Hopefully by Q1 of next year we’ll all be back on a more normal track as more people get vaccinated and as COVID starts to run through its cycle. “We are all trying to get back to normalcy with an added bit of protection,” he said. Turner expects that momentum to continue into the January 2022 show, being held January 5-7, 2022. It is exciting to see how happy the buyers and the brands are to be here.” January was very cautious, and we are still being cautious, but brands and buyers are increasing. 4Ocean also hosted after parties with beer and live music. Skate ramps were brought back for the September show and fashion shows again took The Stage. The September 2021 show also marked the return of some activities beyond buying that were cancelled at the January 2021 show. One company Seaside Retailer spoke with even ran out of order forms and had to order more during the show. Many of the orders took place directly on the show floor. I’ve also seen some buyers here that I haven’t seen before.” “A couple buyers have said that they are waiting until January, but the majority of them are here and more. “They’re getting it done and they’re making it work within the current limitations,” said Wilkie. In other instances, Caribbean retailers are sending their Florida-based buyers to the show while they stay home. The Grand Cayman Islands weren’t as well represented as, according to Wilkie, there are still some challenges there and reopening has been slow. Stores and resorts from Aruba, Turks and Caicos, St. September is traditionally a show that attracts Caribbean buyers and this year’s edition is no exception. I don’t know how long it is going to take to get there.’” That buyer is expecting a banner travel year and just wants to be ready, she said. One buyer out of Aruba told Wilkie, “I’m buying heavy. Wilkie adds that finding new products and ways to differentiate their offerings are a main reason buyers attend trade shows and that at the September show, they are seeing “the most ‘new’ they’ve seen in a long time and they are really excited.”īuyers are also buying more than usual in anticipation of needing product. “They are so excited about all the new brands they are seeing on the show floor.” “So many buyers over the last two days have said, ‘I’m seeing so much new product, I am so excited to freshen up my shelves,’” said Kathy Wilkie, senior buyer relations manager for Surf Expo’s coastal life segment. One trend that emerged was the tremendous amount of new products available. “Everything’s been expanded,” said Turner. The layout included four 40-foot aisles called boardwalks as well as two 20-foot cross aisles to help ensure traffic was less dense. The pandemic was also evident in the arrangement of the show floor. Even though Florida’s numbers have dropped almost 50% in the last seven to 14 days, there is still a lingering concern and safety is always front of mind for us,” Turner said during the show. “We are still feeling the remnants of COVID, especially in Florida. The show still was approximately 30% smaller than it would have been pre-pandemic, according to Turner. We understand concerns but we really felt like there’s a need to meet face to face again.” “We had no outbreaks connected to the January show so we felt that with our protocols we could host a safe show. Surf Expo hosted a show in January 2021 prior to vaccinations being distributed. “The beach and resort business are having their second banner year in a row as we try to come out of this COVID situation.” “There’s still difficulty in finding product in the marketplace, whether it is at-once or pre-season orders or dealing with future supply chains, but it’s been a great year to be in the beach business,” said Roy Turner, Surf Expo show director. The industry welcomed the return to an in-person format as buyers are eager to build their inventories during what has been an exceptionally busy year coupled with shipping delays. 8-11, after a hurricane and the COVID-19 pandemic prevented in-person versions the two previous years. Surf Expo was successfully able to host its first in-person September show in Orlando, Sept.

Mistakes to Avoid When Investing in Real Estate

The Cayman Islands are a series of beautiful islands in the Caribbean Sea. Their inviting turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and lavish lifestyles are tempting. Therefore, it is no surprise that many people dream of buying real estate in the Cayman Islands as an excellent investment, one that can be rented out or used as a personal getaway.

Just like any other business investment, real estate investing requires proper planning and an understanding of possible pitfalls. This blog explores ten mistakes to avoid to ensure your journey through the Cayman Islands real estate market is smooth sailing.

1.  Diving In Without a Plan

When it comes to real estate sales, impulsive buying does not work, especially in places such as the Cayman Islands, where we live now.  Do not plunge headlong into Cayman Islands real estate market listings without a clear investment strategy. Consider these questions before planning:

- Are you looking for vacation rentals or long-term properties?

- Do you have specific budgetary constraints, and what incomes do you expect?

Depending on what you aim at achieving, search for properties accordingly. Beachfront condominiums are ideal for rent, while big houses give ultimate privacy.

2. Skimping on Research

Having beachfront villas to cute condos, you can find different property variants in the Cayman Islands real estate market.  Beware of pretty pictures –– you need to study the location with its amenities, rental potential, and restrictions, by visiting the location!

Research other similar homes within the range to learn market prices. Never forget that location matters most in the Cayman Islands, like the value of beachside luxury estates’ strongly depends on proximity to Seven Mile Beach.

3. Going Solo and Don’t Consider Local Realtor

The Cayman Islands property market operates differently from anywhere else, so getting help from reliable local brokers will be priceless! They will know everything about the market peculiarities, help with legal issues, and recommend trustworthy property managers if you rent your investment property. Thus, a good realtor can find hidden gems for you and work on favorable terms, reducing time, money, and stress.

4. Sticking to Numbers

Still, it’s worth remembering that love at first sight may not be practical because buying land in the Cayman Islands should be guided by rational thinking.  Always stick to a pre-determined budget and return on investment (ROI) expectations.

Do not forget that no matter how beautiful an estate looks, the most important thing is whether this property can generate income as expected or bring valuable capital gains.

5. Forgetting the Hidden Costs

Compared to some other areas, they have a high standard of living, resulting in higher property taxes, maintenance costs, and insurance charges, among other things.

All these additional costs must be included in future profit calculations for possible returns from such investments. Furthermore, international investors must recognize their exposure to a single currency.

6. Underestimating Due Diligence

Before making any purchase decision, make sure there is a comprehensive house inspection done by experts who will check things like structural errors or termites, among others, which might not meet the required standards.

In case of any non-compliance of anything else, like design flaws within specifications, then it should go back home with deeds showing titles evidencing no residual liabilities or other encumbrances over land.

7. Ignoring Market Trends

Like any other market, the Cayman Islands real estate market also experiences fluctuations. Keep up with what’s currently happening –tourism data and upcoming property development projects that could affect prices within your area!

This assists you when buying and selling by making informed choices regarding this process based on knowledge rather than speculation of one person only. Besides, it could also prove wrong at times, leading you astray while making such decisions.

8.  Misjudging rental potentials

If you are looking forward to earning some rental income, check the rental potential of your selected property. Consider things such as seasonality, tourist demographics, and competition in the area. Research how much similar properties are being rented for so that you can have realistic expectations.

9.  Failing to Recognize Legal and Tax Implications

Owning foreign property in the Cayman Islands involves several legal and tax issues. Consult with a qualified attorney or tax advisor to learn about residency requirements, possible taxes that can be paid or not, and restrictions on foreign ownership.

10.  Failure to Think about Exit Strategies

Although the Cayman Islands have a solid real estate market, clear-cut exit strategies are essential. Consider how you will sell your property later and any possible taxes on capital gains incurred.

You can turn your luxury real estate Cayman Islands dream into an investment by avoiding these common pitfalls and doing thorough research. Consider the diverse opportunities available in the Cayman Islands property market, ranging from luxury real estate Cayman Islands down to more humble options. If you plan well and are guided accordingly, you may find the perfect slice of paradise, which comes with financial gain and idyllic Caribbean living.

Look out for Cayman Islands Real Estate for Sale  

The Cayman Islands offer stunning beachfront properties, lavish condos, and quaint residences. There are various vacation rentals or personal sanctuaries for those who prefer them all in-between for sale in the Cayman Islands real estate section, whether holiday letting heaven or truly mine alone.

How Much Does It Cost To Make Your Home Luxurious?

Building the luxurious home of your dreams can be more rewarding than buying an existing home since you can create it as per your desire. It might be expensive, and it’s easy to get carried away by the luxury finishes. Generally, it costs $200-$500 per square foot to develop a custom or luxury home. If you’re living in Cayman and don’t have much time to source each resource on your own, it is advisable to work with the best construction company in Cayman. The materials, permits, and design fees may extend upto 60%, and labor typically makes up 40%. Let’s dive deep and know the cost of construction to build a lavish home.

Site

One of the first expenses in building a luxurious home is the land you’re planning to build. The cost of your land is based on its size, location, and local real estate market, but it’s essential to consider how the physical features of the land will affect the price of your construction budget. For instance, a fully wooded lot will require tree removal, rocky soil will cost more to mine a perfect foundation, and the site with a steep grade might need extra engineering to make it suitable for construction. Also, 4 to 8% of your budget will go on prep work, excluding the cost of land.

Planning

A lot of effort goes into designing your home. It is expensive to work with a developer and choose from pre-existing floor plans by evaluating all the options. If you’re looking for a custom home, it would be wise to hire a residential contractor in Cayman to give thought to your vision. The cost may reach up to 15% if you hire a proficient interior designer and a skilled engineer.

Foundation

The foundation will be expensive when you plan to develop a luxurious and spacious home. A larger footprint requires more excavation and the same amount of concrete. The topography will also play a significant factor in the budget. For instance, building on a hill will cost you more than building on a flat or well-drained lot. The foundation costs range from 5 to 15% of your total construction cost.

Framing

In a year, framing consumes up to 10-20% of your budget, but now the lumber costs have skyrocketed. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the price will be $36000 for a single-family home.

Internal & External Systems

As humans, we are enticed by technology, and it drives us to live life comfortably. This includes HVAC, insulation, plumbing, and electricity. Luxury add-ons include intercoms, floor heating, indoor pools, spa, and more. And everyone strives to get these things done right for the first time. This area of your luxury interiors may take 10 to 15% of your budget. External systems like roofing, sliding, and the material you choose will impact your overall budget.

Conclusion

20% of your budget will go to paying your contractor and handling various expenses like building permits, waste removal, and hiring contractors. You may have peace of mind by taking assistance from a reliable construction company in the Cayman Islands.
