Interest in purchasing a property overseas has greatly increased over the last couple of years, with popular areas such as Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and parts of the USA showing an increase in sales.

As well as past repossessions, other secondhand properties and new builds, there is an increasing choice available to hopefully suit all purposes, including holiday, investment and eventual retirement.

If purchasing by cash is not an option, then raising a mortgage secured against the property could be an ideal option and if using an independent bank not linked to the development/property.  They could also possibly assist with confirming the legality and valuation of the security.
