		<description><![CDATA[Buying country property raises a number of issues for buyers that differ from those commonly faced when pursuing a house in or near a city. These issues take on legal importance when they are threaded into the language of a purchase-offer contract.
In the next few weeks, I’ll discuss the contract snags that can catch buyers [...]]]></description>
