Buying Property Abroad
Researching your Property Abroad
It is absolutely imperative that you do your homework before buying a property abroad. Laws vary enormously between countries. In some countries there may be title disputes on land and in others a new owner can unwittingly take on debts attached to a property.
It might also be the case that you need to seek permission from the government of the country before buying a property. Taxes, home-buying and legal fees also vary.
If you need an overseas mortgage, different levels of deposit are required in different countries and some won't lend at all to overseas investors. Especially where you do not speak the language, it is absolutely imperative to seek professional and independent advice.
Remember also to factor the cost of this into your budget.
