My Approach

Overseas Property Insider is built on research, real market exposure and long-term positioning.

As Founder of Overseas Property Insider, I analyse international property markets through both an investment and lifestyle lens, looking beyond headline prices to consider infrastructure, demand trends, buyer movement and economic direction.

Every guide is written to help readers understand not just where to buy, but why.

My focus is clarity, transparency and practical insight for international buyers who want informed decisions rather than marketing promises.

Overseas Property Insider

Overseas Property Insider is a content-led platform covering overseas property, retirement abroad, relocation planning and international lifestyle investment.

Founded by Elly Herriman, Director of Marketing, Communication & Innovation at International Property Alerts and Founder of elly-herriman.com, the platform provides ongoing insight into global real estate trends, retiree migration, overseas buying decisions and cross-border property opportunities.

The site explores where UK retirees and lifestyle buyers are moving, which countries offer favorable residency and visa routes, how healthcare and tax systems compare, and what buyers should understand before purchasing property overseas.

Content spans retiring to Portugal or Spain, second homes in Cyprus, property investment in Dubai, relocation to Thailand and emerging destinations gaining popularity with international buyers.

Topics include retirement planning abroad, overseas property buying costs, residency options, tax considerations, healthcare access, cost of living comparisons and long-term investment positioning across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Overseas Property Insider exists to provide clear international property insight and practical relocation guidance for people planning their next chapter overseas.

Overseas Property Insider is designed for readers planning a serious move abroad, a strategic second home purchase or long term international investment. The content is independent, research based and focused on helping buyers understand not only where to move, but why.
