Buying property abroad is a dream come true for nearly all people, but, sadly, horror stories abound. For example, buying a property without a survey to find that it floods every year; finding an idyllic property in the Winter to find that in the Summer it becomes a loud and noisy beach property; a promised mortgage never materialising; not to mention legal and property buying systems abroad and some of the dodgiest deals under the Sun ….

Neil Lewis from specialist property website www.propertysecrets.net and himself an experienced overseas property investor says "If you get your fingers burnt buying abroad you certainly won’t be the first and nor will you be the last!

"It’s easy to get seduced by the warm weather and buy a property without doing your homework first - you can easily trip up or make a mistake if you are not well prepared".
