we will provide you with guidance on the whole process. We will monitor your application
with the lender closely and provide you with regular updates and explanation of
any terms when the offer is produced. We will liaise with your other chosen professionals
to help with your understanding of the complexities of your purchase such as buying
through a company, residency permits, taxation issues, life cover assignment etc.
Additional Services
As with the UK, you will be required to insure the property. Many Overseas lenders
also insist on Life Cover. In some cases an existing plan may be used if it meets
the minimum requirements. It is important this issue is not left too late, as you
may be unable to complete on your purchase until cover is in place, which can sometimes
be delayed by requirements for medical information. Our recommended independent
advisers can provide specific advice.
