A Jubilee emigration story
22nd March 2012 - 02:11This week The Overseas Guides Company talks to Rene Grisedale Smith, a British lady who moved to America when her parents emigrated there the same year Queen Elizabeth ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom 60 years ago.

Can 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.

Someone I was chatting to a few days ago was telling me that her dream had always been to live on Lake Como but that George Clooney et al had put paid to that! And I suppose that price-wise Lake Como is a trifle out of most ordinary people’s price range now. The presence of Clooney plus folk like Sting caused a boom in the market that caused a 25% rise in prices in little over two years. more...
Find a Good and Trustworthy Developer
31st March 2011 - 06:52Chatting to people about buying property abroad, I find that one of the main concerns is how to chose a good and trustworthy developer if you are buying off-plan. This problem has been made worse by the current economic climate – many developers are going under, and sometimes taking unwary buyers and their dreams with them. It is therefore absolutely crucial that you have a really god look at the credentials of your developer before signing on the dotted more...
