The Truth About Expats & Property

The Truth About Expats & Property: Don’t Let the Hype Fool You

Expats often find themselves in a whirlwind of advice, property ads, and investment promises. But what’s the truth behind the real estate obsession? Should you buy property abroad, or is it just another distraction?

Join Tom Pewtress, Group Head of Proposition at Skybound Wealth, for this no-nonsense webinar where we break down the facts, not the FOMO, about buying property as an expat.

This session isn't about selling property; it's about helping you understand whether property fits into your bigger financial strategy. We’ll explore where, when, and whether you should buy property, and what people often get wrong.

• From freehold vs. leasehold to off-plan hype and liquidity risks, understand the real deal behind UAE property.
• How rising taxes, mortgage rates, and property maintenance in the UK might surprise you.
• The difference between emotional home-buying decisions and financial investment logic.
