Expats issued money transfer tips

Potential UK emigrants wishing to transfer money to overseas mortgages have been issued tips on how to sell their current homes.

Financial advisor Shelter Offshore recently published a guide that aims to help Britons to successfully close deals on their UK-based properties amid the recession.

The expert explains that some simple measures can go far in helping homeowners to secure funds that may go towards international payments on their new home.

For instance, householders ought to make sure their property is thoroughly clean and well-maintained.

In addition, building up a good relationship with a successful estate agent is imperative, so properties are sold as quickly as possible.

"You need to find an agent who is selling houses, and selling houses like yours to buyers who are seeking a property just like yours," said the financial advisor.

"Keep an eye on which agents are shifting the properties on their books and contact them about your sale."

Investment expert Property Frontiers recently warned expats buying repossessed homes abroad to get premises surveyed.
