US Property : Buying a Home in Florida
Purchasing property in Florida is quite different than purchasing property in the U.K., and is a complicated legal process.
The estate agents, lenders or sellers won’t be able to accurately explain the differences and they will not have knowledge of your particular needs or options as a U.K. resident. Furthermore, the contract alone may not set out the rights you are entitled to under both State and Federal law. You cannot rely on the seller’s lawyers or the title agents who research title and prepare the deeds to advise you of your legal rights as they do not represent you.
