The Ideal Property Show, at the Kent Showground, Detling, is organised by specialist overseas property agency Ideal Homes International, which is based in Portugal’s Algarve region.

Visitors who are considering buying a property abroad as an investment or as a holiday home can find out more at the free event. There will be information on overseas mortgages, taxation, the legalities of buying abroad and currency transfers.

Visitors will also be offered the chance to go on a trip to Portugal to view properties. Prices for the all-inclusive viewing trip start at £99.

Chris White, of Ideal Homes International said: “We believe in meeting clients in person and building a relationship with them, which is why we invest in these shows. The conditions for buying an overseas property remain highly favourable to British people, with prices in many destinations still depressed and exchange rates moving back in sterling’s favour, making your money stretch further.

“Visitors to the free-to-enter Ideal Property Show will be able to browse villas, apartments and townhouses for sale at heavily reduced prices – in some cases up to 60%.”

The Ideal Property Show will be at the Kent Event Centre, Kent Showground, Detaling ME14 3JF, from 10am to 9pm, from Thursday, October 17 to Sunday, October 20. For free tickets see www.idealpropertyshow.com or call 0800 133 7644.
