Extreme examples perhaps, but not unknown when it comes to owning property abroad says Saundra Satterlee 1. European Union 2. Worldwide 3. Terms and Checks page1 2 3 European Union No two countries in the world have identical legal systems, nor are the rules and regulations that govern the purchase of property the same. Unfortunately, potential property buyers often assume otherwise, and hence open themselves up to the possibility of getting bitten by the legal intricacies of a foreign property market. European Union Britons buying property in the EU can take some comfort in the knowledge that they are subject to the same rules and regulations as the locals, or any other EU citizens for that matter. But - and this is a big but - not one single EU country has the same buying procedures as another. Individual countries have their own property laws. For example, in Spain any outstanding debts attached to a property become the responsibility of the new owner. Or, if you purchase a farmhouse or villa with agricultural land in Italy, your farming neighbours could exercise the right of pre-emption, that is, buy back the land for less than its purchase price. This is a complicated area of tax and law, warns international estate agents Knight Frank. Not only countries, but regions too may have their own property specific regulations. A national Spanish law on development was revamped and passed by the Valencian legislature in 1994 for instance, which gave local developers in certain circumstances the right to demand payments for infrastructure improvements or to obtain repossession orders. The different systems of property purchase within the EU are echoed further afield.
