The Ultimate UK Property Buying Guide for Foreign Buyers: A Guide for International Investors: Buying, Letting, Compliance, Tax Setup, and Exit Planni (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243265126)

Foreign buyers lose money in UK property-not from bad locations, but from compliance failures, hidden costs, and leasehold traps they never saw coming.

This is the guide that tells you what really happens when you buy UK property as a foreign national-covering all four nations (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), with real numbers, real case studies, and the compliance frameworks that keep you out of trouble.

What You'll Learn:

- The UK's four legal systems and why treating them as identical destroys returns
- How to calculate accurate net yield (spoiler: it's 40-60% lower than gross yield)
- Leasehold due diligence that saves 20k- 50k per property
- Nation-specific compliance (deposit protection, tenancy types, eviction rules, purchase taxes)
- The Section 21 abolition (May 2026) and what it means for tenant selection
- Tax setup for non-residents (NRLS, NRL1, CGT reporting, MTD)
- Social housing and RP partnerships (7-9% net yields in the right structures)
- Exit strategy, including CGT calculations and refinancing mechanics

- 17 comprehensive chapters
- 8 real case studies (winners and losers with full financial breakdowns)
- 100-point deal scorecard
- 4 appendices with templates, checklists, and compliance quick-references
- Nation-specific guides for England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland
