You've bought a place in the UK?? You mean recently???

You're either out of your minds or you've got bigger balls than the rest of the population................

I could have pointed you in a good direction - friends of ours in leafy Sussex were selling their place a year and a bit ago. They offered it at 875,000 ONO....... no takers of course......... last week someone put in a bid of 690,000....... they are holding out for 725,000, but they've no chance of getting it.................

Good luck.

Meow,

long time reader 1st time poster.

I was wondering if you can help me with some info regarding buying back in the UK. I entered a Contract to buy off plan just before i decided to move out here and the last i heard the building was for completion in January so i'm trying to get information on what the requirements are for the mortgage etc. now so that i can get the finances sorted out.

I understand i have to post twice to activate my PM so once that is up and running would you mind if i contacted you directly?

Thanks

Are you in the business of lending money or arraning it. I don't fancy a Russian mafia cat on my back.

I'm looking to buy a couple of properties over the next 12 months, but not only in the UK. Can you help?

We have recently found getting our house in the UK rented a serious problem. Thankfully it is now rented but it took the best part of 3 months to find a tenant as it seems the market has been flooded with properties to rent so tenants can really pick and choose and haggle for a better price (we had to lower ours, twice!). Hope you don't have the same problem, cause it's a pain in the a*se!!
