Extra costs:
-
Taxation - this will vary enormously from country
to country, so it is very important you look into the countries
policies on this.
-
Sales commission
-
Conveyance fees
-
Stamp duty - some countries impose extremely high
stamp duties, although these may come under general taxation issues.
-
Also consider the costs of communicating with, and
visiting the country.
There can be other fees, not mentioned here, so it is vital that before
purchasing a property, you familiarise yourself with all possible
costs you will incur.
Benefits:
Besides the obvious benefit of owning a home in another
country for personal pleasure, the financial benefits can be huge. In
some countries, the property markets are their biggest growth industries.
Therefore a property bought abroad could become a considerable personal
asset.
