SBE’s origins

The concept of the Safe Buying Experience was created in 2006 with the aim to provide a safe and secure process for buying properties abroad. The founders of this new idea come from a long and distinguished background of law, management and financial services. They recognise that, in an increasingly sophisticated market, buyers seek upfront reassurance that their dream home abroad has been built in accordance with planning rules and regulations and that they are not burdened with a poor or unenforceable contract after handing over a reservation deposit.

Why Standards Matter

The implementation of standards ensures that a desirable level of safety, integrity and legality is met.

We tend to take for granted that standards and customer care, which we may be used to, will automatically be implemented abroad. Added to this, it can be difficult for the foreign buyer who may not speak the language or understand customs to make a safe and informed choice.

There are many safe properties to buy and many excellent professional companies abroad but in the absence of an independent quality award, it is extremely hard for the consumer to know whom to trust.
