  The Concept

Overseas Homes was formed in recognition that there is a growing demand for an alternative method of purchasing property overseas. It is documented that currently many people buying overseas experience an element of hard sell similar to that associated with the dreaded ‘time share’, firstly by attending a Hotel exhibition in the UK followed by an inspection visit overseas where they are subjected to an itinerary controlled by the sales team they meet.

The principle philosophy of Overseas Homes is to provide a specialist service whereby the purchaser will be informed and educated of the opportunities available and the processes involved in a professional, personalised, and relaxed approach. Every step of the purchasing process from initial enquiry and research through to property viewing and aftercare will be specifically tailored to the requirements and wishes of the individual.

One of Overseas Homes fundamental objectives is to assist in managing the expectations of the purchaser. Most people find it stressful when dealing with the purchase of a property in the UK where they are familiar with the system. Dealing in a foreign country with a different legal system, foreign language, and more laid back business style only adds the need for the professional assistance that Overseas Homes can provide.

  Make the Discovery

In the South West corner of Europe on the Atlantic Ocean lays a stunning stretch of coastline that has somehow magically escaped the foreign tourist invasion that has altered many other beauty spots. This unique area can be found either side of the southern border of Spain and Portugal, in geographic terms it is known as the Costa de la Luz (Spain) and the Eastern Algarve (Portugal).

The only reason for its escape can be explained by the mass development occurring on either side of the area leaving an untouched oasis in the middle. This leads the area to now present itself as an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the traditional culture and lifestyle that has been savoured and also realise the potential for future growth, which as a result of appreciating the mistakes in other areas is being both environmentally and tastefully controlled.

The area has long been a favourite with affluent national tourists from Madrid, Barcelona and Seville, as there are a number of factors that combine to make it so special. The beautiful golden sandy beaches that run right along the coast are quieter and finer than in other regions. The weather is superb with an average of 320 days sunshine a year. The scenery is of lush Mediterranean pine trees and rolling green hills, set amongst a wealth of agricultural land full of oranges, strawberries, and olives groves giving the countryside striking appearance. The pretty white washed towns and fishing villages dotted along the coast are full of tradition and fantastic local cuisine.

The road systems are fantastic with a motorway running along the coast from Seville to Faro, which is traffic free even in the height of season. Low cost airlines now operating to Faro (only 30 minutes drive from the Spain border) make the region incredibly accessible. Both countries are members of the EU and the Euro which allows cross border travel at complete ease without the hassle of border control or currency exchange.

A variety of style is available, ranging from apartments and townhouses to luxury villas and mansions. A diverse choice of location caters for many lifestyle needs including: holiday homes or permanent residence, a golf course property, a property close to the beach, in the country or in a town.

The company has specialist employees who source and hand pick only the best.

There is an abundance of investment opportunity available. As a growing tourist destination return of rental income can be realised. The prosperous property market in the region leaves capital gains on property purchases an investment waiting to be actualised. The greatest investment however is time; the future of the area just oozes with leading developments which speak of impeccable facilities and luxury marinas comparable to Europe’s first class resorts. Realising this opportunity now, Overseas Homes aim to inform others of the potential and provide the opportunity to become part of this future whilst prices are affordable and excellent value for money.

  The Personalised Touch

The entire Overseas Homes business ethic has been devised around the concept of providing a completely personalised and relaxed service, individually and specifically tailored to each and every client.

This is achieved firstly in the UK, with an individual consultation arranged at a convenient time aimed to inform and educate the purchaser of the opportunities and process to expect.

An individual inspection visit will be arranged and tailored according to each client’s specific requirements. Each client will be met on an individual basis by a dedicated Overseas Homes property consultant and transported by private car to the accommodation. After discussion with the client the consultant will devise an itinerary to include all elements to meet the client needs. As the consultants are all English and live in the area they can provide extensive and learned knowledge of not only the property portfolio but also give detailed understanding of local facilities and help with foreign orientation into the local area.

On return to the UK, Overseas Homes will ensure that future information and any purchase will be dealt with as smoothly as possible. Comprehensive communication with the client will continue throughout the buying process and beyond.

  Buying To Let
