Why Outpost exists
Cross-border property is a minefield of small print
The price isn't the price.
Transfer taxes, notary fees, legal costs, stamp duty. Foreign buyers pay 6–10% on top of the listed price — in fees they didn't budget for.
average hidden purchase cost
The rules just changed. Again.
Spain's Golden Visa: abolished April 2025. Portugal's NHR: replaced. Spain's proposed 100% non-EU surcharge. The landscape shifts faster than any blog can track.

Living and investing are different maths.
That Algarve flat with 'Airbnb potential' might need an AL licence that no longer exists. That French farmhouse? French inheritance law may override your will. Intent changes everything.
