Doshpoint launches overseas service

The website contains links to overseas brokers who can arrange a mortgage in one of over 20 countries – from Spain, France, and Italy to the USA.

John Witney, managing director of Doshpoint, said: "While buying on the continent was traditionally a pastime of the rich, investing in property abroad is now cheaper than people believe – with the number of British pensioners living abroad set to top one million by 2003."

"Whether you are emigrating or purchasing a holiday home, owning a place in the sun is a great way to cut hotel bills - and you even make some money by letting the property in high season. But it is vital to use a service which can reduce the stress and worry you’d normally encounter when buying a place overseas."
