CANNIBAL!! How could you?
From what I've seen, read and heard, just about the most important point of buying abroad is to use a solicitor who is familiar with the pitfalls of buying in your country of choice.
Also if I was paying anything up front I would want some form of bond or insurance to cover any risk.....builders seem to have a habit of going bust and leaving people thousands of pounds out of pocket.
Also, if it's meant to be an investment it's worth adding up the total cost including interest. We've got a ''hut'' in Wales and if we factor in mortgage payments, rates, electric, water, insurance costs and maintenance etc. and sold up tomorrow we would just break even.
And don't forget that if Labour get into power again they will probably try and tax you for owning it.
But when you get there and sit out on a summer evening with your glass of brown ale I guarantee you will think it's worth every penny and all your troubles will be left behind.
My advice would be follow your heart and do it.....but don't ignore your head
