Buying from abroad
When you want to see it yourself.
Some buyers want to stand in the room before they commit. We plan the trip around a shortlist, so every visit counts.
The short answer
How does a property viewing trip work?
We shortlist homes with you first, usually after video viewings, then plan a visit of two to four days around them: the homes, the developers, the neighbourhoods at different times of day, and meetings with a lawyer if you want to move quickly.

Planning the trip
Built around your shortlist.
Shortlist first
Video viewings narrow the field, so the trip is spent on the homes worth seeing.
A day-by-day plan
Viewings, developer meetings and time in each neighbourhood, timed for traffic and the light.
On the ground
An advisor with you throughout, and a lawyer available if you decide to reserve.

What buyers ask us.
How long should a viewing trip be?
