A holiday home in France will probably be the most life-enhancing thing you ever buy.

It helps you and your family get to know and love another place and another culture, while usually appreciating in value. It can be more relaxing than a package holiday to the tourist sites, a holiday whenever you want it, for ever, and to pass on to your children.

But buying a property abroad can be quite an effort on your own, through all the legal and financial processes. Buying the property with your family, or friends, is a great way to spread the burden. And with enough of you and the costs split you could even own together for just a few thousand pounds each.

The Buying Abroad with Family guide looks into:

  • Why buying with your family makes sense
  • How to finance the purchase
  • Organising legal ownership
  • Legal advice from local lawyers
  • How to get along!
