Land/property is registrated at the cadastre (land register). No matter if I sell it for euro, pounds, ETC or give it away it will always stay my property till the registration is changed.
So certain people or agencies, lawyers or notary are needed to do so and give the new owner the "title deeds".
As far as I know this is the same everywhere and bills need to be payed. As long as bureaucracy exist and there are governments who raise taxes over taxes there is no benefit at all.
An income stays income so taxes need to be payed.
It might be an other way of paying but that is all there is.
If it comes to buying property abroad it can even be more tricky. The one who sells can not be the only owner at all so if you pay your money is lost and no property at all just costs...
Also not every country allows foreigners to buy land or there is a max plus there will be an announcement if someone likes to do so, so people in the village/neighbours can put a complain against that.
Imagine I can buy some land/property in Tokyo?
If I want to do so and it is allowed for a foreigner to do so I already can if I have the money.
Better also keep in mind that buying property abroad is seldom as easy as it sounds plus the (a new government) can take the property away from you if...
