Book Description
The prospect of owning property abroad is tantalisingly seductive. At one time the preserve of the very rich, owning an enchanting hideaway home in another country is now becoming increasingly within the financial reach of ever more people. It’s glamorous and exciting but there are also many practicalities to consider, such as: How would I finance the purchase?; Am I looking for rental income?; How important is hot sun and good weather?; Which country should I choose and why?; Is it better to buy into a brand-new development, or go for a romantic tumbledown wreck?; Do I want just a holiday home, or somewhere in the sun to retire to; permanently when the time comes?; Is it a good investment?; and Will I have to pay tax? The answers to all these questions and more are to be found in this informative and down-to-earth book that covers all the financial, legal and lifestyle aspects of buying your perfect home abroad. It is also packed with inspiring and amusing real-life stories from those who have taken the plunge and made their dreams come true.
