2) Consider the benefits of using a Property Investment Agent. If you are new to overseas property investment (or have a busy lifestyle with limited time to carry out fundamental research into potential investments), you may want to consider investing through a property agent. The role of a property agent is to support you at all stages of an investment. Agents will work with developers who they have already thoroughly researched (giving you that extra bit of added confidence and security), and assist you throughout your own Due Diligence process. A property agent is there to support you with any questions to the developer, ensuring that your purchase process runs as smoothly as possible.

2 Due Diligence, Due Diligence, Due Diligence. Aside from an independent legal team, being thorough in your own research is your biggest ally when reducing any risk involved in investing overseas. Due Diligence might be a timely process, but could save you thousands by flagging up any potential issues at an early stage. Even when working with an agent who has already carried out research on a development opportunity, it is vital you know what to look for when starting your own Due Diligence process. Redbrick Wealth has worked with carefully selected developers for years – those with a proven track record, and previously successful developments (where returns have already been paid to investors). We would like to use our expertise in this field to offer you a checklist of what to look out for when considering investing abroad: Check out the developer: • Look at the developer’s track record with previous projects. • Ask to visit previous completed projects where funds have been returned to investors. • Make sure you meet the developer and ‘walk the ground’ of where the new development will be. • Use Companies House, Linkedin and Google to do your own research into the background of the company directors.
