International Legal Services
It’s no secret that legal advice is essential when buying property and is especially true when it comes to overseas property purchases. With so many intricate legalities involved, the knowledgeable and reassuring service that only comes from proper legal council is proven time after time, to be priceless with just the stress alleviation alone, often proving the sheer value of proper legal representation.
Buy Property Overseas can provide access to local, high quality legal services and though these services are non-obligatory, they come highly recommended. Should you find your own personal council, please ensure that your chosen team is not only reputable but, ideally, also fluent in a common language, for an English speaking solicitor or lawyer who can effortlessly act on your behalf generally leaves no room for misunderstandings or allows for vital matters to be lost in translation.
A 1-2% charge of the total sale value is usually commanded for such services as drawing up contracts, dealing with the notary, ensuring all taxes are paid and registering your property with the relevant land registry. But with critical issues involving things like title ownership, outstanding debts, access rights, authorized planning, licensing and taxes etc, there’s so much more involved than one might first take into consideration.
So to emphasise the importance of your legal council, please ensure that whoever handles your legal issues are not only licensed, but are qualified, competent and on hand before you commit to anything.
Remember, local reputable solicitors, lawyers and surveyors can save your dream overseas property purchase from turning all too quickly, into a regrettable nightmare.
