Verify clear title at the local land registry. Check for encumbrances, liens or disputes. In Cyprus, confirm registration at the Department of Lands and Surveys. In Georgia, check at the Public Service Hall.
For off-plan purchases, verify the developer's delivery history, financial stability and previous project quality. Check construction permits and planning approvals are in order.
Compare projected yields against actual market data. Check occupancy rates, seasonal fluctuations and comparable rental prices in the immediate area. Verify property management costs.
Understand the full cost of ownership: transaction taxes, annual charges, income tax on rental and capital gains on exit. Engage a local lawyer in each jurisdiction before signing.
