TheMoveChannel.com launches guides to property around the world!

TheMoveChannel.com today launches its guide to buying, owning and selling property in France.  This is the first in a series of guides to key property markets around the world which will be hosted on TheMoveChannel.com website...

Since its launch in 1999, TheMoveChannel.com has prided itself on supplying accessible, up-to-date and impartial information on buying, owning and selling property.  After its 25 new country sites went live last month, TheMoveChannel.com is now launching a series of guides to buying, owning and selling property in popular countries around the world.

Dan Johnson, Director of TheMoveChannel.com, commented: "TheMoveChannel.com prides itself on being an accessible, up-to-date and impartial source of information for people wanting to know more about property, both in the UK and around the world.  With the recent explosion of interest in buying property abroad, we thought it important that TheMoveChannel.com offers its visitors accessible guides to the key property markets around the world."

Johnson continued: “The guides highlight key issues to consider before buying property abroad such as tax, mortgage finance and inheritance.  Each guide is intended to offer an accessible ‘crash course’ on property in the given country so that investors who are new to this market can quickly swot up on the key questions to ask when doing their research and consulting their lawyer and local estate agents.”

A home from home

With its fantastic culture, climate and cuisine, France currently receives more tourists per year than any other country in the world and for some Brits, a holiday there isn’t enough: According to recent figures by the Institute for Public Policy Research*, 200,000 Brits already live in France.

Dan Johnson commented: "France is the second most popular place for Brits to buy property abroad after Spain.  With its world-beating culture, climate and cuisine, it’s a fantastic place to live or holiday, and has a very safe property transaction procedures to boot.  However, buying, owning and selling property in France is very different to the UK experience and it’s important investors should understand the French notary system and properly consider issues such as tax and foreign exchange before diving in.”

Johnson added: “We hope that our visitors will find our guides accessible, informative and, most of all, useful to make that dream purchase as stress-free as possible.”

TheMoveChannel.com will soon be releasing guides to the Portuguese and Polish property markets.
