A lot of people buy properties abroad as vacation home or to live in when they retire. A beachfront property in belize is an extremely popular choice for a lot of buyers and there are a few things to consider before buying. Many homes are available to buy or rent which are situated on the coast and some careful thought is required before you make your final decisions.

Purchasing a villa or condominium has a lot of plus points due to the location and great climate. Caribbean Sea views, good access and the fact that values have been increasing over the years make it an attractive option investors. Another benefit is that foreigners have the same ownership rights as nationals which may not be the case in many other destinations.

English is the language spoken and this makes property buying much easier during negotiations and when filling in paperwork. Moving your personal possessions and furnishings to Belize is possible without paying tax. All property prices are in US dollars which also makes everything easier to understand as you will not have to spend time calculating money in other currencies, or worry about a fluctuation in exchange rates.

A large number of potential investors will rent a place before making a financial commitment, and buying, to make sure it is the right move. You can easily rent a beachfront home but you should bear in mind that it will be expensive with an apartment or small villa costing around 2000 dollars a night. If you sign a longer tenancy agreement then a better rate may be available.

Before you take the plunge and decide to invest, it is very essential to carefully calculate your budget and adhere to it. The asking price for properties will vary greatly and will depend on the location and the build quality. Small condominiums can be secured for approximately 750,000 dollars and this can rise to over 3 million for a well appointed villa.

The easiest and best place to some in depth research on properties in Belize is online and there are many well established companies that specialize in overseas real estate. After selecting a list of potential purchases, you can contact the firms and they will guide you through the whole viewing and buying process. You should always visit the country and take some time to view the properties at least once to ensure they are suitable.

After arriving to view the properties it is highly recommended that you find and employ the services of a well established lawyer. Many estate agencies can offer their own lawyers to look after things but independent legal advice is always the better option. Some countries have very complicated and strict laws on large money transfers and so someone with local knowledge is a big advantage.

One important thing for you to do is to open a bank account in the country before you move. Any documents such as life insurance policies and driving licenses should also be amended. If you intend to bring a vehicle into the country, it is worth speaking with your solicitor, to check on the correct procedures.
