Early December every year there is an international hang glider competition bringing together many of the worlds best pilots to compete. Flying conditions are different in Lanzarote to any other places in the world due to the islands many volcanoes and arid conditions. Cross country flying is still very possible but it is recommended to use the assistance of a local Lanzarote hang glider guide.

2
Confuse a lawyer with a notary.
Easily done, as notaries aren’t part of the conveyancing process in the UK whilst in most popular overseas destinations they must, by law, rubber stamp all property transactions.

3
Sign a contract without independent legal advise.
This is especially crucial when buying off plan property and during inspection trips, when you might feel pressured into signing something. A good lawyer will always be available by email/fax to check a contract
4
Rely on something unless it’s in the contract.
Rental guarantees, in particular, are often promised verbally but strangely absent from the contract. Ensure your contract is watertight.

5
Turn a blind eye to additional buying costs.
In the Canaries taxes and fees can add another 10% on top of the purchase price, some other countries as much as 15% so bear this in mind when budgeting

6
Ignore the effect of fluctuating exchange rates.
Remember, the buying power of your pound decreases or increases as the value of the Euro or Dollar fluctuates

7
Overstretch your finances.
It’s a dangerous strategy to rely solely on rental income to cover your monthly mortgage repayments. Always have funds in reserve.

8
Ignore the local taxation system.
Get advice about your tax obligations and never assume things are done the same as in the UK, especially when it comes to inheritance issues.

9
Under declare the purchase price.
It was common practice on the Continent a few years ago and so locals still consider it acceptable BUT don’t be tempted to save yourself a buck on the short term gain, long term it costs you more. It’s fraud and could leave you in some nasty trouble, or behind bars.

10
Let your heart rule your head.
The vast majority of overseas property purchases run smoothly, but your dream property could soon turn into a nightmare if you fail to do your research and safeguard your own interests from the outset
