How to purchase the perfect European property
Buyers looking to take the plunge and purchase a dream property in either Portugal, Spain or Cape Verde are advised to visit The Overseas Property Show on 27 and 28 January, at the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull, Birmingham. Run in partnerships with Ideal Homes International, the show is considered the first port of call for those looking to start a journey to purchase European property in 2018.
