          Just doing some free market research for Plan C.

          Where does the average Brit look (not the location/country but how do they find the property they like) when buying overseas?

            you my friend have been talking about Cyprus villas for as long as I can remember

            question for you is:

            are you looking for an investment property, or a villa for you and the missus to escape to a few times a year to get away from gloomy Swindon ?

            Milan.

                No, I am thinking of flogging the villa I already own and have done for many years, making a very good profit and keeping the cash ready for another cunning plan.

                Question is, where best to sell it (through).

                Cyprus estate agents charge 5%. Greedy fookers.

                  aha

                  so now the truth comes out you want the dipsticks here to tell you (were they ever to find themselves in such a position) where they would look for property and then you want to advertise yours there ?
