BUYING A PROPERTY ABROAD?

There are many reasons people buy a property abroad – some are seeking a more temperate climate to enjoy during their retirement, others are looking for a holiday retreat in their favourite spot in the world while some buy for investment purpose.

Before you start searching for the perfect property, make a list of your own personal priorities. The best way to start is to think about the reasons you’re moving abroad, and what the property will be used for. Ask yourself some of the following questions to get started:

What locations appeal to you? Are you after a slower pace of life? Do you need a family-friendly location? Does the property have something specific to meet your needs or fancy, such as a swimming pool or an ocean view? Do you want any specific amenities, such as a nearby golf course or access to culture or gourmet restaurants? When are you thinking you’ll use the property? Ultimately, what will your dream property be used for and how do you imagine spending time in it?

These questions will further help in guiding your choice of buying a property abroad. If you need professional advice on real estate investment, do not hesitate to contact us.
