Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about buying, selling, and investing in international luxury real estate.

Can foreign nationals purchase property in Europe?▼

Yes. Most European countries allow non-residents and foreign nationals to purchase real estate. Requirements vary by jurisdiction — for example, France and Italy have few restrictions, while Switzerland limits purchases in certain cantons. Our legal team provides country-specific guidance throughout the process, including residency permit implications where applicable.

What are the typical transaction costs when buying internationally?▼

Transaction costs typically range from 7–15% of the purchase price, depending on the country. This includes notary fees (1–2%), transfer taxes (3–10%), legal fees (1–2%), and registration costs. In France, for example, total acquisition costs average around 7–8% for existing properties. We provide a detailed cost breakdown before you commit to any purchase.

Do you assist with mortgage financing for overseas properties?▼

Yes. We have established relationships with international private banks and mortgage brokers who specialise in cross-border lending. Non-resident mortgages are available in most of our markets, typically requiring 30–50% deposit with competitive interest rates. Our finance team will help you explore the most advantageous financing structures.

What is the process for viewing properties?▼

We arrange bespoke viewing tours tailored to your schedule and preferences. For international clients, we offer virtual 3D tours, live video walkthroughs, and can coordinate private in-person viewings with as little as 48 hours' notice. Airport transfers, accommodation, and local transportation are arranged by our concierge team.

How do you ensure the security and privacy of transactions?▼

Discretion is at the core of our service. All transactions are handled under strict confidentiality agreements. We comply fully with GDPR, anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and international KYC standards. Client data is encrypted, communications are secured, and we operate on a need-to-know basis with all third parties involved.

What happens after I purchase a property?▼

Our relationship continues well beyond closing. We offer comprehensive property management, including rental management, maintenance coordination, renovation oversight, and resale services. Our local teams in each market ensure your property is maintained to the highest standard, whether you visit seasonally or year-round.

Are there tax implications for owning property abroad?▼

Yes, property ownership abroad typically involves local property taxes, potential wealth taxes, and income tax on rental earnings. Double taxation treaties between countries may apply. We strongly recommend engaging our tax advisory partners who specialise in cross-border property taxation to optimise your position and ensure full compliance in all relevant jurisdictions.
