Buying or moving abroad? Don't miss out on this event
If buying a property or moving abroad has been on your mind, you’ve probably already discovered that there’s a lot to think about.
Where should you buy? How much will you really need to spend? What are the buying costs? How does the legal process work? What about tax, currency and residency? And, perhaps most importantly, how do you know whether the decision you’re making is the right one for you?
That’s where A Place in the Sun Live Property Showcase at the RDS Dublin on the 10th & 11th of October can make a real difference.
Rather than spending months trying to piece together information from different websites, agents and forums, the event gives you the opportunity to speak directly with overseas property experts, attend informative seminars and start turning your ideas into a realistic plan.
What could you gain?
A clearer idea of where to buy
Perhaps you know you want sunshine but haven’t settled on a country. Or maybe you’ve narrowed it down to Spain and Portugal but don’t know which region is right for you. Talking to people who understand different property markets can help you compare locations based on the things that matter to you – whether that’s lifestyle, budget, accessibility, rental potential or proximity to the coast.
A better understanding of your budget
The price you see on a property listing is only part of the picture. At the show, you can ask questions about the wider costs involved in buying and owning a property overseas, helping you build a more realistic picture of what your budget could look like.
Greater confidence about the buying process
Buying property in another country can feel complicated, particularly when you’re unfamiliar with the legal and administrative processes. Speaking directly with professionals can help you understand the steps involved, what to look out for and which questions you should be asking before you commit.
Make time for the seminars
One of the biggest benefits of attending A Place in the Sun Live's Property Showcase is the opportunity to learn from the live seminar programme.
The seminars are designed to tackle some of the most important issues involved in buying a property abroad, from understanding individual property markets to navigating the purchase process.
The programme includes sessions focused on destinations such as Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and France. That’s particularly useful if you already have a country in mind because you can spend time learning about the market before speaking to exhibitors afterwards. Here's a quick overview of the seminar sessions taking place:
- Spain; Property Hunting for all Budgets
- How & where to buy property in Portugal
- Understanding the Purchase Process in Spain
- Where and how to find your perfect home in Cyprus
- France v Italy - where to buy your place in the sun
The real benefit is that you can take what you learn in the seminar and use it in your conversations with exhibitors. Instead of simply asking, “What properties do you have?”, you can start asking more informed questions about locations, budgets, buying processes and the practicalities of owning abroad.
Chat with Jasmine Harman
We'll also be joined by A Place in the Sun TV presenter Jasmine Harman, who will share property insights, tips and practical advice on stage.
There will also be opportunities to meet Jasmine in person during a Show Guide signing session. For long-time viewers of A Place in the Sun, it’s an opportunity to take some of that on-screen inspiration and experience the property-buying conversation in person.
