Property Abroad

There are many advantages to owning an overseas property; there are also many disadvantages. In addition there are many pitfalls and traps, not to mention the shady characters and over-enthusiastic sales agents involved in the overseas property business. Think carefully before you make any decision and arm yourself with a wealth of information and advice from several independent sources.

Overseas Property Advantages

  • You get to spend holidays in your own property. You can leave some personal belongings there so it becomes a real home-from-home
  • You really get to know the area and even perhaps your neighbours in another country
  • The value of your overseas property can increase (and it often does)
  • You can get an income by letting your overseas property when you are not using it
  • Your friends and family can stay in your overseas property
  • It really can be great fun buying an overseas property

    • Overseas Property Disadvantages

  • You spend all your holidays in the same place
  • When you are there you spend all your time doing repairs and redecorating when you really wanted to have a holiday
  • The cost of your overseas property can become a burden
  • The legal fees, taxes and commission to buy and sell overseas property can be high (expect 10% of the property's value)
  • Be very careful who you buy from, especially if you buy off-plan
  • Other people staying in your property can cause damage

    • Think carefully about an overseas property before you do anything. Especially consider WHERE you want one and WHAT KIND of property you want. Also be honest WHY you want one. Is it for your yourself to use as a holiday home, or are you really looking for an investment property. Answer these questions honestly before you start looking any further.
