UK Government give advice to overseas property buyers

 
The Uk government is campaigning to help British overseas property buyers buy safely abroad. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office the official agency for advice and information for British Nationals Abroad is highlighting its advice in its “Know before You Go” campaign.
 
Uk Overseas property magazines and other media are seeing the FCO advertising campaign aimed at  Brits who are buying real estate abroad. Some of the advice smacks of “nanny state” stating what would appear to be the obvious. One piece of advice includes making sure you have a valid passport before travel.
 
The FCO advice “9 things you should know before you go”
 
  1. Take out travel insurance for any trip overseas , make sure it covers you comprehensively for anything you might do or need
  2. Find out about your health entitlements and costs abroad
  3. Find out how to keep track of pensions, tax, and healthcare costs. Make sure you know everything in advance from the Department of Works and Pensions see www.dwp.gov.uk
