Produced in conjunction with the Sunday Times, our innovative Buying a Property series gives you all the practical information you need to buy a home overseas. Whether you’re looking for a castle or an apartment, a holiday home or a place to relocate to for good, the guides offer all the latest information on buying property abroad. They cover all the regions that are popular with home-buyers and provide in-depth information on what to expect from each area: its climate, economy and facilities. The Buying a Property books give advice on every step of the moving process, from the first stages of organising visas and dealing with immigration and customs, to negotiating with estate agents, having surveys done and drawing up contracts, as well as restoring your property and finding reputable rental agencies. To accompany the practical advice, the guides feature anecdotes and case studies that give insights into the realities of settling in to a new environment and getting used to a different culture and pace of life.
