Product Description

More and more people are being attracted to Scotland by its clean air, low crime rate and slower pace of life. Buying a House in Scotland provides everything one needs to know to buy a house there whether for use as a vacation home, a base while starting a new working life, an investment or as somewhere to spend retirement. There are unique features of the house-buying process in Scotland such as the process of selling houses at 'offers over' and the regulations involved in buying property on crafting land, so this book is essential reading for anyone considering buying there; it tells readers all they need to know. To help readers find their ideal home the book covers the entire country from the cities to the Highlands and islands, with a regional guide explaining the characters of the different areas and the types and price of property to be found there. The book also gives essential information for when the purchase is complete from how to deal with builders and other craftsmen when restoring or renovating to making money from the house by renting it out. Also provided is essential background information to each country covering the history, culture and economy, visa, permit and residence regulations, the health care, banking and education systems, and more.
