As the title, we have bought proprty in England before moving out to Aus, just wanted to know if the same law, procedures, taxes, fees etc are the same in Wales as the UK ?? Cheers........

I almost bought a house in Wales in 2006 and as far as I can recall, it was basically similar - unlike Scotland, which is VERY different.

As far as I'm aware buying a property in Wales is the same as in England, the only difference I know of in the UK is within Scotland. I may be wrong as I haven't bought a house for 3 years but I think Wales has got rid of HIPS too, not sure if England has

Thanks for your help guys, looks like if we go back it will be easy enough.. cheers, Pete

Exactly the same up until the point where they burn your house down:

Wales has come a long way in the last 17 years, I don't think they do that any more.

speaking as a welsh lass exactly same, if need advice on areas give us a shout Mine's up for sale more than welcome to buy ours

THAT IS VERY NAUGHTY OF YOU- Look at the date.!! 1993. Very bad thing to post on here.

FFS! Bold? Caps? Underline? Really?

I thought my subtle approach was sufficient, but maybe my sense of irony is over-developed.

D, I was always led to believe, Criticism, is the sincerest form of flattery. (I thought the comment, was OTT)

Sorry, which comment?

My Maltese granny has a home in Wales and loves it there; my parents bought her a country house in disbelief when she decided to move there in 2001. As far as I know the procedure is exactly the same or very similar.

The ref that ''John'' made to 'house burning' . don

Yes, England & Wales have the same laws on everything so buying a house in Wales is identical to that in England.
