Laura Hamilton has shared her top tips for buying abroad after purchasing her dream house in Spain. 

The A Place In The Sun host, 43, bought a house in the heart of Pollença back in August and has been renovating the six-bedroom townhouse ever since. 

Drawing on her own experience, Laura has now shared the lesson she has learnt along the way after completing a ‘big part of the demolition.’

She is currently working to reconfigure the ‘higgledy-piggledy’ house into a four bedroom home with a courtyard garden. 

Laura explained how she has forced to change her plans along way and has ended up paying more than she expected. 

In an interview with The Sun, she detailed: ‘You need a lot of patience because you have to follow the rules and regulations.

She continued: ‘You need to do a lot of research before doing a project overseas. What I will say is like any property you buy, you should get a survey.

‘Something else that I would say is to get the right mortgage. There are some amazing mortgages available out there.’ 

Laura said that due to her three per cent mortgage which is fixed for 25 years, she didn’t have to ‘sink all my money’ into the project. 

The presenter also urged anyone thinking of buying a house abroad to ‘do it now’ as she regrets not doing it sooner.   

Laura ended up knocking down most of the house in order to create her dream ‘plunge pool’ as a centre piece to the holiday house. 

Taking to Instagram at the end of November, she posted an update for her fans, writing: ‘LOOK HOW FAR I’VE COME…

‘Back in August I purchased a holiday home in Mallorca. But of course me being me, it had to be a ‘renovation project’. It’s a mᴀssive undertaking and I am loving the process and of course the transformation.

‘I decided not to post lots about my renovation on this page as I know not everyone is interested so I decided to create a separate page with more content on the project over on @myrenovationinthesun.’

The whole back of the house had been demolished and the roof terrace has gone in order to create a space for a courtyard garden with a plunge pool.
