To save money and maximise profit on your investment properties abroad, you'll need to save money wherever you can.
One way to save significant amounts of money is to use the Jigsaw Overseas Property Service Directory.
Ill give you an example, our recent purchase in Bulgaria we were undecided whether to use the Real Estate companies after sales service and being so far away we felt a little venerable.
After receiving the quotation for a complete furniture pack we decided to do our own research and see what other prices companies where offering for the same standard of furniture pack as we felt it was slightly expensive.
We spent a lot of time looking at websites and asking other buyers for advice until finally we spoke to a company who where offering the same standard, for 50% of the price.
Of course our natural reaction is the same as what you're thinking right now, surely there must be something wrong?, did they have the correct price?, how can this be?
The answer however was simple, after more research we discovered that the company who had given us the quotation for the furniture pack was the same company who where supplying the real estate agents.
So you can draw your own conclusion, but the truth is, the real estate agent was marking up the furniture pack price by nearly €2500, how many times before have you heard this before?
I know that it can be time consuming and I'm not saying you should use the Jigsaw Overseas Service directory, but do some ground work and research before you commit to any quotation.
One thing I found out was that is was more prudent to get more than one quotation for my furniture pack in Bulgaria.
