The Overseas Property Buying Guides

Cyprus Buying Guide

"My name is Alexis and, being a totally committed Francophile. So you know who you are talking to, a tiny piece about myself: I first went to France at the age of 11 to visit my French pen friend and this started a regular yearly visit until I went to college. Then I lived in Paris for a year after leaving college, many years ago now. I very nearly stayed longer, having been offered a super bilingual secretarial job there at the same time as a great post in London. It was one of those defining moments of life when one could go one way or the other and I came back to London… but my love affair with France has continued when I purchase a property in France. I hope very much to bring you the benefit of what I have learnt about France in this Guide." (...more)

Greece Property Buying Guide

Italy Property Buying Guide

"Buying in Italy and/or emigrating is not an easy thing to do at the best of times, let alone when you immigrate to a country that has made complicated bureaucracy a national pastime! Yet the rewards are there – you just have to be prepared. My purpose here is to let you in on the benefit of the knowledge I picked up along the way. I made many friends and learnt a huge amount, not only about the buying process (I work part-time in a local Italian estate agency) but also about how everything “works” in Italy. Things like getting builders, sorting out utilities, bank accounts, the taxes and so on – and I am going to pass some of this on to you." (...more)
