Bargains can be found in Europe with international mortgages

Wed, 11 Jan 2012
Individuals looking to invest in property across Europe may find now is a good time to start considering their international mortgage options.

This is because Paul Collins, editor at BuyAssociation, has suggested individuals could take advantage of a number of bargains likely to spring up throughout the continent as a result of current economic uncertainty.

The industry figure pointed out the sovereign debt crisis is likely to represent an opportunity for people to buy a home at reduced cost.

However, international mortgage applicants may be wise not to rush into such a purchase, as doing so also holds numerous risks.

Mr Collins explained: "This has to be tempered with the realisation of additional potential changes that can come along."

These may include buyers having to pay higher property taxes as governments attempt to bolster their income to cover debt repayments.

He noted any form of investment carries pitfalls in one form or another, recommending it is always best for a person to make sure they have protected themselves from risks as much as they can.

His comments come after research from Assetz recently found many European nations are witnessing reductions in the number of available mortgages.
