Do you own real estate in a foreign country? Are you looking to purchase or develop property in another country?

An increasing number of people in wealthy nations are buying property in other countries to use as holiday homes, retirement homes, or as an investment. The most popular places to buy overseas property are in hot countries, in tourist resorts, by the coast, or in cities. Many countries welcome the invasion of foreign property owners as it brings with it foreign money and is often beneficial to the local economy. Others resent the practise. Some countries even have legislation to prevent foreigners owning property.

Many people from northern Europe and the UK have bought property in the southern European countries. Increasingly people are buying homes in Eastern Europe in the hope that the low property prices there will increase in the future, for example when those countries gain membership of the EU. Another area seeing tremendous growth in international investors is South America. Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua all seem to be benefiting from the investment trends.
