The complete guide to buying property abroad - Liz Hodgkinson

The prospect of owning a property abroad is tantalizingly seductive. Recent research has shown that while thousands are planning to invest abroad, they have deep concerns over the practicalities involved.

This book answers the vexing questions about the highly complex and often fraught business of buying property in other countries. It also has a section on the important questions to ask yourself before taking the plunge and maybe making a very expensive mistake. Hard information is interspersed with case studies of those who have been brave enough to purchase a home in another country. Also includes a country-by-country guide to local considerations and there is now new information on China, California and Eastern European countries such as the Czech Republic.
