Where?
It seems that almost nowhere is out of bounds if you're considering a foreign property purchase. Emerging markets from Eastern Europe to the Far East have attracted huge interest in the past years along with lesser known regions of familiar countries. Exclusive Overseas bring real expertise to your decision making process: for example:
- Did you know that certain areas of Switzerland do not allow you to sell a property until you have owned it for 10 years?
- In Italy there is no capital gains tax after 5 years, but before that you could pay up to 43%?
- In France you can re-claim the VAT, thats up to 19.6%
Consider the ease and cost of accessing your property, transfer time from the airport, facilities such as sports grounds, theatres, affordable restaurants and bars, local schools, hospitals and shop.
