Foreign properties

Properties by the Sea, in World Capitals and Mountain Resorts

The purchase of property abroad is governed by different legal, tax and transactional rules depending on the country in question. In selecting international properties for our portfolio, we therefore work with local offices of the Sotheby's International Realty® network, which possess detailed knowledge of the local market, legislation, and the specific characteristics and risks of individual transactions. The international network thus combines the global reach of the brand with expertise on the ground, in the property's own location.

The portfolio comprises apartments abroad, villas abroad and seafront properties intended for permanent residence, as a second home or for investment purposes. It features penthouses and duplexes with terraces and panoramic views, city apartments in the world's leading capitals, and design villas in front-line seafront positions with a private jetty, boat mooring and private beach. A separate category is formed by mountain properties in prestigious Alpine resorts, including locations directly adjacent to the slopes. Layouts range from two-bedroom apartments to family estates with ten or more bedrooms.

The geographical scope extends from European capitals and Mediterranean destinations through the Middle East and Asia to North America, the Caribbean and Australia.
