Our Property Purchase in Cyprus

Hello again!

I hope everything is ok with you and life is treating you well.

Following on from last week, we flew back to the UK so excited about our property purchase in Cyprus - but little did we realise how hard the new few weeks were going to be.

When I look back, how on earth we managed to do everything in 11 weeks amazes me. It was literally off the plane, put the house up for sale and start preparing for our big move.

The speed things progressed at was quite remarkable. We lived in a sought after area, so luckily, the house sold in 11 days. That was the first hurdle out of the way – or at least that’s what we thought. The sale ended up being fraught with problems as they often are. Not a surprise really.

It was the usual scenario, a solicitor not telling you what is going on, estate agents being careful with the truth – need I say more, you have probably been there yourself. It really was frustrating, to say the least.

Anyway, while all this was going on, we had to arrange our shipping. Having never done this before, we had a lot to learn very quickly. We really did not have a clue.

After we moved, I wrote an article about shipping to help others. It’s a minefield if you are not aware of what to look out for – particularly marine insurance.

I’m going to talk more about that next week.

In the meantime, have a great weekend.

Until next time.

Best wishes.
