Six money mistakes buyers make between offer and completion
On 30 September, the Solicitors Regulation Authority warned about fake correspondence in a property transaction. Someone was impersonating a genuine law firm and directing a potential payment to an account that didn’t belong to it. It was a UK case, but it illustrates a risk faced by anyone sending a large sum abroad to buy property. And fraud is only one way a purchase can go wrong after your offer is accepted.
Helping your children buy a home overseas: how to gift the money without holding up their purchase
A parent offers to help their child buy a home in Spain. The money is sitting in a UK savings account, the property has been found and everyone agrees on the amount. Surely all that’s left is to send it? Not quite. That apparently simple family gift could face questions from banks, lawyers, mortgage lenders and the authorities in the country where the property is being bought. And if those questions aren’t answered before the deposit or completion payment falls due, the money may not arrive in time.
Liberty Justice Center Petitions U.S. Supreme Court to Protect the Rights of Firearm License Holders to Carry their Firearms Across the Nation
WASHINGTON | Sept. 8, 2026 — In Johnson v. Jacobson, the Liberty Justice Center represents a long-haul trucker with two state-issued firearm licenses who has been prohibited from exercising his Second Amendment rights in Minnesota.
Liberty Justice Center Declares Victory in Omaha Second Amendment Related Lawsuit
(OMAHA, Neb.)—The Liberty Justice Center is pleased to announce that the City of Omaha’s attempt to impose a sweeping ban on firearms across Omaha city property—including city-managed buildings, parks, and surrounding public areas such as sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots—is officially over. The Liberty Justice Center filed Nebraska Firearms Owners Association v. Omaha on December 18, 2023, challenging Omaha’s firearm restrictions that conflicted with Legislative Bill 77.
10 essential tips for buying property abroad in 2026
For many, 2026 is the year the long-held dream of an overseas home finally becomes a reality. The global property market is entering a period of normalisation after years of post-pandemic volatility, offering more stability for anyone looking at buying property abroad. But while the market may be calmer, the rules of engagement have changed. From stricter energy regulations in Europe to evolving visa landscapes, buying a home abroad today requires more than just finding a villa with a view.
Buying property in Italy in 2026
Buying a home in Italy is rarely a purely logical decision. It is usually an affair of the heart, driven by a love for the food, the pace of life and the sheer beauty of the landscape. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the trulli of Puglia and the lakes of Lombardy, the emotional pull is undeniable. However, the Italian legal system is famous for its complexity. It is bureaucratic, formal and moves at its own distinct pace.
Buying property in Greece in 2026
Greece is a country of islands, myths and incredibly blue seas. It offers a lifestyle that feels refreshingly removed from the frantic pace of northern Europe. Whether you are looking for a whitewashed house in the Cyclades, a stone villa in the Peloponnese or a city apartment in Athens, the appeal is timeless. However, the reality of buying property here is distinct from other Mediterranean markets.
Buying property in the USA in 2026
The United States is not just one property market; it is fifty distinct markets under one flag. From the art deco hotels of Miami and the brownstones of Boston to the ski lodges of Colorado and the desert villas of Arizona, the scale of opportunity is immense. However, the “American Dream” comes with a distinct set of financial realities. The US buying process is highly structured, litigious and moves faster than almost anywhere in Europe.
Buying property in Ireland in 2026
Ireland offers a proposition that is unique in Europe. For British buyers, it is the only remaining EU country where you can move, live and work freely without a visa. For buyers from further afield, such as the US or Australia, it offers a deep cultural connection, an English-speaking environment and a pace of life that balances modern tech-hub energy with rural tranquility. However, the Irish property market is competitive and strictly regulated.
Buying property in Australia in 2026
Australia is often seen as the ultimate move. It offers a lifestyle that feels reassuringly familiar—same language, similar legal system—but with the weather, space and optimism dialed up. From the harbourside suburbs of Sydney and the laneways of Melbourne to the sun-drenched coast of Queensland, the appeal is obvious. However, buying a home here is not as simple as hopping on a plane. The Australian property market is one of the most strictly regulated in the world for foreign buyers.
Buying property in New Zealand in 2026
New Zealand is the ultimate escape. For many buyers, Aotearoa represents a return to a simpler, safer pace of life, set against a backdrop of scenery so dramatic it feels fictional. From the vineyards of Marlborough to the alpine peaks of Queenstown and the harbours of Auckland, the appeal is powerful. However, the “Foreign Buyer Ban” remains the headline story in 2026.
Buying property in Malta in 2026
Malta packs a lot into a small package. It is an archipelago where the Mediterranean meets British heritage—think red post boxes, driving on the left and English as a joint official language—but with a climate and history that are distinctly southern European. For international buyers, the appeal is often strategic as much as it is lifestyle. Malta offers some of the most attractive tax residency schemes in Europe, making it a magnet for retirees and high-net-worth investors.
Buying property in Canada in 2026
Canada is vast. It spans six time zones and offers a wilderness so expansive it can feel endless. Yet for international buyers in 2026, the property market is surprisingly small. To cool housing prices, the federal government has effectively walled off the major cities from foreign capital. The “Foreign Buyer Ban” dominates the headlines, leading many to believe the door is firmly shut. It isn’t. If you look beyond the skylines of Toronto and Vancouver, the market is open.
Buying property in Cyprus in 2026
Cyprus offers a reassuringly familiar slice of the Mediterranean. It is a place where you drive on the left, the legal system is based on English Common Law and English is spoken almost everywhere. Yet, it pairs this familiarity with 320 days of sunshine, ancient history and a relaxed island pace that feels a world away from the UK. However, buying a home here is not as simple as packing your bags.
Buying property in Portugal in 2026
Portugal has quietly transformed from a budget holiday destination into one of the world’s most sought-after property markets. Often compared to California for its surf, sun and tech scene, but with a pace of life that is distinctly Old World, it offers a blend of safety, climate and culture that is hard to find elsewhere. However, the days of “cheap renovations” and easy visa-via-property schemes have evolved.
Buying property in Dubai in 2026
Owning a property in Dubai is an exciting prospect. It’s a city that defines modern luxury, innovation and global connectivity, with architecture and amenities that are hard to beat anywhere else in the world. But buying property in Dubai as an overseas buyer can feel daunting. You’re spending a large sum in a fast-moving market, in a different legal system — and crucially, in a different currency.
Buying property in Spain in 2026
Spain isn’t just a holiday destination; for many, it is the Plan B that becomes Plan A. From the white-washed villas of the Costa del Sol to the vibrant streets of Madrid and the rustic charm of Alicante, the country offers a lifestyle that is hard to beat. The climate, culture and cost of living continue to attract buyers from across the globe. However, purchasing property here is not without its complexities.

New warmist study ups alleged 97% climate consensus to 99.9%! - Analysis: ‘The Irrelevancy of Lynas ‘99.9 Percent Certainty Climate Change’ Consensus’ - Climate Depot
The study is yet another attempt to convey the nebulous notion that widespread scientific consensus exists regarding the primary causal factor behind climate change. A previous study, spearheaded by climate blogger activist John Cook, concluded in 2013 there was “97 percent consensus.” Despite near universal acclaim and its citation by leading policymakers such as the United Kingdom’s energy minister, the study was inherently flawed.

Democrats' Election Bill Is a Disaster for Free Speech
(Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times/Getty Images.) If Congress passed a law that put your name and address on the internet because you gave money to a nonprofit, would it scare you? If politicians wrote a law that matched their campaign donations by 600 percent with public money, would you be angry?
