tryCan I take my car when I move to Europe?
26th January 2012 - 06:26When you move to the Continent, you may decide to take your car with you, rather than buy a left-hand drive one when you arrive in your new country. This should be possible so long as you have no outstanding finance against it - if you do it will be illegal to export the car out of the UK. You may also wish to consider the value of your car. If your car is not worth a lot, then it will more likely be cheaper to buy a new car once you move abroad, as the shipping can be costly. When moving a more...

Do you sell or do you rent your UK property when you emigrate
31st March 2011 - 06:52I was thinking about a very contentious issue last night, and it’s this: given that prices on house sales have dropped considerably in the UK, is your best bet to sell your property if you decide to move abroad, or would it be better to rent it out? The latter does mean that if, for what ever reason, your move does not go according to plan you haven’t burnt your boats completely…not a bad idea in my book. Let’s say you decide to rent it out: two more more...
