A Summary Guide to Purchasing Property Overseas: FinanceWrongly this is often considered last. From short term bridging finance to medium or long term mortgages, there is an enormous range of options.

Deciding on a Country and AreasThis is usually the first step – perhaps you are looking for family holidays, retirement, capital investment/rental income or have decided to make a new life in a warmer climate and culture. You may be considering which place offers most, the best value, accessibility and what about taxes, planning laws, schooling, medical facilities etc. Choosing LocalitiesSo you have decided which country and region suit you best and now have to weigh up all the pros and cons of each district and environment – views, amenities, distance from shops, airport etc. Finding The Right Location and PropertyYou are making headway but even within specific localities there may be a confusing choice, but good advice from someone who knows the areas well and who understands your needs can save endless time and frustration in producing that vital short list and help you to avoid costly mistakes.Negotiating and Agreeing a PurchaseThis may be simple or extremely complex and will vary from new/off-plan to re-sale, urban or rural property and should involve appropriate title and other checks. If you don’t speak the language or are unfamiliar with local permits and procedures deal through reliable and experienced people.
