Extensive guide to foreign property
This is the kind of book that you'll be constantly coming back to for years to come. It covers everything from tax on foreign property, foreign property trading, foreign exchange, capital gains and then chapters on individual countries and how their tax systems work. No stones left unturned and the author is extremely detailed with all his explanations, case studies and examples - what more could you ask for?

Very User-Friendly
I thought the book was really user-friendly and the imaginary case studies brought it to life. I'd recommend buying this before you get carried away checking out properties on the internet! At the end of the day, it is a good idea to get advice from your accountant or a property tax specialist but reading the book is very worthwhile. Easy to read and you can just skim to the relevant chapters. I read most of it on the flight back from France!
