White Knight Associates Pros and Cons of overseas property part 1.

Many people dream of owning a property abroad, however some people rush in without thinking it through properly. Foreign property markets don’t work in the same way as they do at home, so proper research is a must.

The Pros

The first thing that attract most people to foreign property is the price. With property at home being so expensive, the thought of a much bigger home for less money abroad is extremely tempting.

If you invest in a country at the right time then you have the possibility of gaining capital growth which may not be feasible in your home country.

Some people choose to invest in property abroad for tax reasons. By becoming a home owner in certain countries you can benefit from tax breaks. However, it’s well worth doing your homework on this first as tax rules change regularly.

If you’re looking to make a profit then investing in overseas property may provide this for you as sometimes it’s too difficult to make a profit from property in your home country. Therefore investing overseas gives you a financial boost despite the state of your local housing market.

Of course, the other benefit to having a property overseas is that you now have a property that you can visit for holidays. This makes for the perfect cheap holiday from home as you only have to cover the cost of your flights and travel.
