LankaPropertyWeb successfully concludes the 2nd virtual property show
View(s):LankaPropertyWeb’s ‘Lanka Property Show 2021 Virtual’ event was successfully concluded recently. The event was visited by over 7000 visitors from across the world including the US, Bangladesh, UAE, UK and Saudi Arabia.
It was organised to attract local and expat buyers who are increasingly looking into buying properties in Sri Lanka since the COVID-19 outbreak. The virtual property show also aimed to overcome the geographical limitations buyers encounter when purchasing property in the country and the restrictions posed by this pandemic, the property website said in a media release.
Held from March 26 to 28, Lanka Property Show 2021 Virtual offered discounts up to 15 per cent for over 15 top developments exhibited by more than 15 developers. During the three days, buyers were able to interact with agents virtually over video and online chat, generating high potential leads and sales for developers at a time where physical events cannot be held.
The ‘Lanka Property Show 2021 Virtual Conference’ that also took place for the first time alongside the virtual property show, recorded a total of over 2000 participants during the five sessions.
Featuring topics on investing in the Sri Lankan real estate market to becoming a successful real estate entrepreneur and a landlord, the conference had 15 industry professionals including lawyers, structural engineers and architects, as speakers for the event.
The highest views for the conference were from the 2nd and 3rd sessions that discussed real estate investments in Sri Lanka and building a house under the budget. While the former was conducted in English, the latter was hosted in Sinhala covering topics on how to choose the right land plot, how to build a strong structure, how to manage your budget and how to finance your dream home.
Despite the rising costs in home construction, people’s desire to build a home of their own is greater. This was also seen by the 40.1 per cent increase in land searches on lankapropertyweb.com when compared with January 2020 and 2021, the statement said.
