Buying a Villa in Orlando

The good news is that compared with most European countries - including Britain - the actual purchase process in Florida is quite simple. The legal aspects of home buying in Florida do not require each party to appoint and pay their own Legal Advisor. However, we advise all clients to utilize the services of a combined Attorney/ Title Guarantee Corporation - we will instruct the Title Company to act on your behalf.

We will arrange appointments with an independent Mortgage Broker. This way you can be assured that everyone is working in your best interest.
