Some of the things you need to think about when buying an overseas property
There are two options:
- Do it yourself
- Let us do it for you
We can take away all the time-consuming, difficult bits of buying abroad.
We can act as middleman, introducer or however you want to play it.
Then the hardest bit for you will be choosing which overseas property to buy.

Due Diligence
All our overseas properties have had Due Diligence carried out before they’re advertised. e.g. Permission to build, building license and land ownership are all confirmed. Some investment deals might be advertised before the final build licenses are confirmed, but this will be made very clear to clients.
Inspection Trip
Allow a minimum of 3 days.
You can organise your own trip abroad, or we’ll arrange it for you.
Either way, we’ll set up meetings, pickups and viewings, but you pay your own way so you’re completely independent of us.
If you come home and decide not to buy, you’ll feel under no obligation.
If you do buy, we’ll refund a percentage of your expenses, up to £150 per person and up to a maximum of £300 per purchase.
Currency Exchange
We recommend you use a specialist currency broker when sending money overseas. We have negotiated preferential rates through Currency Index Ltd, and have a dedicated dealer there who will provide a first class level of service as well as highly competitive exchange rates, to save you time and money on your property purchase.
There are no commission charges with Currency Index, and you can get a quote without any cost or obligation. Typical savings against high street banks can run into thousands of pounds, and you can secure and guarantee exchange rates for up to 2 years ahead, for peace of mind in avoiding volatility in the foreign exchange markets.

Independent Legal Advice
It’s important to have independent legal representation and advice
when you’re buying property overseas. You might also want to organise a
Power of Attorney, which means a solicitor is appointed to act on your behalf
so you don’t have to fly out to sign papers.
You can use your own lawyer, or we can recommend lawyers in each country.
Please contact us for details.
Accountants
You can use your own accountant, or we can recommend one to you.
Please contact us for details.
Financial Advice
You can use your own financial advisor, or we can recommend one to you.
Please contact us for details.
