Description of International Real Estate Handbook
Today, many people no longer limit the horizon of their activities and aims to the borders of their own country. New transport and communications opportunities, the political stability and integration of Europe, cross-border activities and prolonged stays in foreign countries have made the acquisition of real estate abroad an increasingly popular trend. The International Real Estate Handbook is essential for anyone who is serious about acquiring, owning or selling international real estate. A comprehensive general chapter introduces all the key aspects, and a detailed coverage of 16 key countries then provides a very useful tool for advisers to private clients, such as private bankers, tax advisers, real estate lawyers, fiduciaries and other professionals handling the private residential sector of international real-estate. The Handbook will be of equal interest to individuals/private investors looking to aquire or sell real estate abroad. The International Real Estate Handbook is a unique reference manual. It features: - A comprehensive general chapter introducing the reader to all key aspects of acquiring and structuring international real estate. - Specific chapters authored by leading real-estate lawyers from the respective countries. - A complete and extensively researched address section listing carefully selected contacts (lawyers, tax advisors, real-estate brokers, banks, etc.) for each country, representing an eminently useful and practical resource. - Several unique tables of international overviews and comparisons covering topics such as purchase costs, tax rates and inheritance laws relating to real estate.
