The Complete Guide to Buying Property Abroad
This book is very informative, and I found the case studies particularly useful. There is plenty of information on important areas, such as the financial, tax and legal aspects. I would recommend this book to anyone that is thinking of buying a property overseas.

the complete guide to buying property abroad
I found this book the most useful because we were interested in moving abroad, but were unsure of where we would like to go.
This book weighs up the pros and cons of different areas such as year round warmth in Spain as opposed to cold winters in most of France. It is probably most helpful for someone in a similar position to us - but if you already know where you want to go it is not going to give you enough information, as there is only a small section on each destination. We now know that France is the place for us and so have progressed to other books!!
