There are two distinct phases to the process of buying an overseas property. First comes the fun of finding your home – choosing the location, picking the property which is right for you and planning your future. This phase draws to a close when you sign your purchase contract.

Next comes the joy of completing the purchase and getting everything ready to enable you to move in. And there’s no point pretending otherwise, this can be a difficult and frustrating process if it’s not well managed.

Worrying about how your house is progressing and dealing with the contractors, lawyers and foreign banks can be daunting? However, the professionals at Swiss Hannover International Realty Corp., our staff, management and all of our endorsed associates are here to help you.
