Real estate
Property bought, held, and passed on across borders.
The discipline
A purchase abroad, carried properly from structure to succession.
A property abroad is never only a property. It is a currency position, a tax exposure, an inheritance question, and a financing decision, all fixed at the moment of purchase. Structured well from the start, it stays an asset.
ValMonde assists you in purchasing property in other parts of the world, London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jakarta and Manila among them: the structure that holds it, the currency behind the purchase, the financing where it serves you, and the arrangements that pass it on intact.
The work
The structure before the purchase
Personal name, company, or trust: the right holder depends on the jurisdiction, the tax position, and who inherits. Decided before signing, it costs a conversation. After, it costs a restructuring.
Currency and financing
The purchase currency, the mortgage currency, and the income currency rarely match. Each mismatch is a position, and each is planned rather than discovered.
Both sides of the border
The tax treatment where the property sits and where you are resident, read together before the purchase fixes both.
Passed on intact
Ownership arranged so the property transfers to the next generation without a forced sale, in the jurisdiction where it stands.
A property abroad is a position in three markets at once.
Who this serves
A first purchase abroad
A property in a market you know as a visitor, bought with the paperwork of a resident.
Financing across currencies
A mortgage in one currency, income in another, and a purchase that depends on both.
A property for the next generation
Bought as much for who inherits it as for who holds it now.
How it begins
- 01
The introductory meeting
An hour on the property you hold, or the one you intend to buy, and everything attached to it.
- 02
The fact finding
The jurisdictions, the currencies, and who the property is ultimately for.
- 03
The proposal
A proposal in writing: the structure, the financing, and the order to do it in.
The markets
London
The deepest property market in Europe, four centuries of title law, and stock that holds value through difficult decades.
Dubai
A market built for the international owner: multi-currency banking, straightforward foreign freehold, and a regime designed to attract you.
Abu Dhabi
The quieter Gulf market: institutional-grade developments, long leases, and stability prized over speculation.
Manila and Jakarta
Young, growing markets where demand is demographic rather than speculative, entered with local specialists at the table.
Questions
Does ValMonde sell property?
No. The firm assists with the purchase itself: the structure, the currency, the financing, and the tax around it, with specialists on the ground in each market whom you meet directly.
I already own property abroad. Is it too late?
No. The structure is easiest set before a purchase, and still worth setting after: holding, financing, and succession can each be arranged around a property you already own.
Which markets does the firm cover?
Most purchases sit in the markets named above, and the work follows your position rather than ending at that list.
Can you help with the mortgage?
Financing is part of the work: which lenders serve foreign buyers in each market, in which currency, and on what terms. You contract with the lender directly.
What about managing the property afterwards?
Management stays with specialists in the market where the property sits. Where you need one, you are introduced, and you contract with them directly.
Who pays the specialists on the ground?
You do, directly. Their fees are quoted to you in writing, and ValMonde's part is set out before any work begins.
