Outpost vs doing your own research
You can research a foreign purchase yourself — and you should understand it. Outpost compresses the parts that are slow or easy to get wrong across a foreign language, tax system and local rule-set into one sourced dossier.
Outpost is best for
Getting a reliable, sourced read quickly — especially across a language barrier — without missing a costly local rule.
The alternative is best for
Buyers with time, local-language ability and patience who want to assemble everything themselves.
Using both
Outpost shows its sources, so it's a starting point you can verify and build on — not a black box. Many buyers use it to know what to check, then dig into the specifics that matter to them.
Common questions
Can't I just use property portals?
Portals show asking prices, not sold prices, and rarely cover taxes, non-resident surcharges, rental-licence rules or hazard zones. Outpost benchmarks the price and models the full cost and risk, with sources.
Does Outpost show its sources?
Yes — figures cite the registries and indices behind them, and reports show their review and FX dates, so you can verify rather than take it on trust.
