Guide to Buying Property Abroad – Getting Started

And finally...

The motto here is simple – don’t do anything you wouldn’t do at home. This includes signing contracts you can’t read, not getting a survey, not consulting a solicitor, not buying a property in an area you have never been to and, above all, not giving a ten per cent deposit to a stranger you’ve just met in a bar who claims that his brother has the perfect house for you.

While such statements may sound laughable, they are all true stories relating to British buyers abroad. Do your research and get good, independent, legal and financial advice before you sign anything. If you follow these basic principles then you are less likely to get caught out. So, don’t leave your brain on the plane, and happy house hunting!
