What fees are involved with buying property overseas?

This depends on the country and what the government has stipulated. For example, some countries have a stamp duty tax of 10% or more but don’t have capital gains tax. Other countries have instituted a tier system with the stamp duty taxes where a property below $250,000 USD has a 6.5% but a property that ranges from $250,000 USD to $500,000 USD has an 8% stamp duty tax attached. We highly suggest you speak with a real estate lawyer in the country you choose to purchase in before making any final decisions, your agents should be able to recommend a few different lawyers for you.
