Overseas property guide for beginners
While the UK property market, and many more around the world, is on its knees it looks as though we are starting to see some good long term value emerging from the mess of the credit crunch. But where do you invest? What type of property? What are the risks?
As with any investment, there are risks to be considered and more so in the area of direct overseas property investment where investor protection and procedures may not be comparable with the UK. In this instance it is vital to get expert advice and ensure that you protect yourself as much as possible.
We now have access to a range of overseas property investment guides which will explain the pros and cons of the process, what you need to look out for and how you can protect yourself from the 'sharks'. We have guides from the likes of the Global Property Partnership, The First Group, SIPA, Green Land Securities and Abalisse which cover investments from Bulgaria to Brazil and everywhere in between.
These are companies that operate in these local markets, know what the legal stance is and can offer you a helping hand when looking at a possible investment. Do not just assume that overseas property markets operate in the same way as the UK otherwise you will be food for the 'sharks'.
