Why Should You Use an Approved and Registered Agent When Buying Abroad

Before you commit to anything do your homework and look for agent that is registered with professional bodies and ask them for their registration number. You can also visit the website of the professional body in question and or call them up to double check that the agent is in fact registered with them, Also ask the agent for some references from their previous clients. This way the client can tell you about their experience with the agent.

Also check what sort of after sale service you will receive from your agent and compare various companies.

A good estate agent should have a due diligence procedure in place to ensure that there are no defects on the title deed. There are plenty of good and bad agents that have been in the business for a long period of time would have a good understanding of the property market that they operate in. This way you can eliminate any developers with a bad track record from those that have high quality developments.

Make sure that the agent works on your behalf and safeguards your interest, ensuring that any information given is backed up with facts. For example if the agent claims the land next door to any potential property you like is in a green belt area and that it cannot be build upon you can request to see the council plans if you are in any doubt.

Make sure to use an independent solicitor, your agents should have a list of solicitors that you can contact.

Ensure that the name on the title deed is the person that signs the contract. If it isn't then ask your solicitor to attach the notarized power of attorney highlighting that the person signing the contract is the sole authorised person selling the property.

You can request to secure the property to your name even before the military checks. We will be more than happy to give you in depth information about this. There maybe a charge to you for securing the property.

If you are buying a property off plan make sure that stage payments are paid through your solicitor or by using an escrow account.
