Insurance tops the list of items forgotten by those buying second homes overseas, boutique real estate agency Ideal Homes Portugal, has revealed. Founding Director Chris White explains,
"Buying a property overseas is a wonderful venture, but is also a process with a lot to remember. Dealing with a foreign country's paperwork can seem daunting and there are exchange rates and language barriers to throw into the mix as well. It's an exciting process, but our experience has shown that buyers often forget things that they would undertake as standard in the UK. Purchasing insurance is top of that list."
