Learning French for property buyers

So you’re heading off on that property viewing trip. At last! But when a long-cherished dream gets real, you might suddenly feel far from your comfort zone, and very foreign! Learning a little bit of French for property buyers puts you in control. But which is the best way to learn? Christopher Nye investigates your options.

The culture and customs of Cyprus

Cyprus may still feel like an outpost of Britain in some ways, but the weather tells a different story! And so do some of the customs. Take the time to immerse yourself in the culture and customs of Cyprus. You will be rewarded with a deeper understanding of the Cypriot lifestyle and more importantly, you will feel welcomed by the Cypriots as one of their own.

Could you spend your winters in sunny Cyprus?

Imagine swapping a dreary, overcast British winter for the sunny skies of Cyprus. That’s what hundreds of Britons who own a holiday home in Cyprus do every year – and then they make a good return letting it out over summer. And, Cyprus’ ‘golden visa’ scheme means you could even guarantee yourself EU residency after Brexit. So, how does it all work?

Could you spend winter in Greece?

If you’re dreaming of life in Greece, but don’t want to leave the UK full-time, a winter holiday home could be just the ticket. You could spend winter soaking up the Greek sun, then make a tidy profit letting it to holiday-makers in summer. Plus, you could even get EU residency by buying a Greek holiday home above €250,000 – so what are you waiting for?

Meet the new neighbours. They’re a bit wild!

If you enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, you’ll be very impressed with the variety of wildlife in Portugal. So what might you meet on a country walk?
