Choosing the right agent is your first an most important decision when purchasing a property aboard whether as an investment or a holiday home. It's vitally important you are dealing with a reputable company. Each company within our website adheres to a strict code of conduct as well as being regulated by FOPDAC (Federation of Overseas Property Developers Agents and Consultants).
 
There are many hidden pitfalls  when buying abroad the most obvious being the legality of the company and the property you are buying. Guild International member agents will offer you the very best in legal advice as well as recommending companies such as Conti France (overseas mortgages) and MoneyCorp (Foreign Exchange).
 

       

If you follow some basic guidelines the whole procedure, from searching, to viewing, buying and moving in can be enjoyable, but to avoid making decisions on impulse, we recommend that you plan ahead.
 

1. Be sure of your reasons for doing it - are you planning a lifestyle change, a retirement? or are looking for a holiday home and, if so, are you planning to rent it out?

2. Check the local property market generally - is property selling? Are values going up or down?

3. Decide whether you want an apartment, a villa or a house and do you want a large private garden or communal grounds?

4. Set yourself a budget - and allow 10% for 'extras'.

5. Once you've decided where you want to buy, find out local information such as what its like at different times of the year and check if there are regular flights at reasonable prices throughout the year.

6. Do not sign any documents that you do not understand and always use a solicitor who understands the law in your chosen country.

7. The Guild has preferred partners who may be able to assist you in your purchase or sale of overseas properties.
We hope that you will find our website informative.
