The Route to the International Property of your Dreams
Before considering buying property abroad - as a holiday home or main residence - find out if the area has the facilities you need. Accessibility, medical support, infrastructure and climate are just some of the points you'll need to be clear about. Members of the NAEA who specialise in selling properties abroad, are well qualified to help you in your research. They will give you 'best advice' based on the knowledge they have amassed over the years. This consultation is usually free.
Visiting the Area
Before you explore an area, consult your specialist NAEA member for guidance. Remember, the cheapest property is not necessarily the best buy. The same rules apply abroad as they do in the UK.
Legal Procedures
Before committing yourself to a legal contract, you must consult a qualified practising lawyer in the country/area of your choice. NAEA agents will help put you in contact with the right professionals. Most of the lawyers will be English speaking.
In some countries, debts accrued by previous owners are passed on to the new owners - so you need to be very careful. Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware - rules in most areas. Therefore, the onus is on you and not the seller. Using recognised estate agents and legal personnel will help you overcome any difficulties in buying procedure and the subsequent responsibility of owning property abroad.
