Villas Abroad

Buying a Villa Abroad

Buying property abroad is more popular than ever, with increasing numbers of people following their dream in purchasing a holiday home, a buy-to-let, or moving lock, stock and barrel to the sun.

Buying in Spain

Spain's pleasant, healthy climate and wide selection of properties make it the most popular destination for an overseas property. Choose from developed plots, farmhouses and village locations, through to villas, townhouses and new apartment developments.

Buying in Turkey

Contracts with regard to real-estate sales are valid only by notarial conclusion. Here it applies to consider that notaries in Turkey have no strict consultation duty. A notarial contract can be still illegal and therefore be contested later. A contract is the first step, but does not make you an owner yet. Only the title deed (Turkish: tapu) makes you own the property.

Buying in Bulgaria

Things are different in Bulgaria! We each have a lot to learn from each other. The relaxed pace of life in Bulgaria can be very frustrating, however in the UK we are opposite in that we get too stressed and perhaps utopia lies somewhere between our two cultures. Be prepared to be frustrated, however, try not to let it get you too stressed out.
