Overseas property after Brexit

Brexit appears to be a nailed on certainty from here on, even though article 50 needs to be invoked by the government in power and from what we are hearing from the media this will not happen until we have a new Prime Minister in place, even then there will be negotiations that will take place over many months and possibly years before full exit is acheived.

Whether or not  full blown Brexit takes place there are many people who still want their dream home abroad, only just this Saturday I listend to a lady on a talk radio show who was making her point about Brexit and one of the issues was that she and her husband had been planning to retire in France in the near future and that they now feel very let down and feel unsure as to what they will  do next.

Many buyers have questions about buying and owning property in the EU.   A Place in the Sun   will be giving the opportunity to  agents, lawyers, currency firms et others  to present the current facts and likely outcomes.

Specialist Brexit sessions will be  at both events,  A Place in the Sun Live at the NEC Birmingham 23rd – 25th September and the SECC Glasgow 29th – 30th October will attract a serious audience of motivated buyers, potentially even more motivated given the UK remains a fully paid-up member of the EU for a good two years to come.
