    Buying a house

    Villa actually. Found a sucker who is desperate enough to do a quick sale without due diligence. This summer I will be coding SKA on a nice beach in Cyprus

    Sorry mate, to live in Cyprus you must have an annual income of at least £5K pa. Vagrancy laws.

      Apparently in the 50s a B52 accidently dropped a nuke over Cyprus, but luckily it landed on a mud flat near a beach and failed to go off.

      It was all hushed up at the time, and anyway was considered too dangerous to dig out, and they later built a load of villas on the site before the incident was declassified.

      I remember an IT contractor who'd bought one being interviewed last year on some holiday program "A Place in the Sun" (?). He was moaning about being lumbered with the worthless thing for ever, and never being able to find a mug big enough to take it off his hands for the asking price.

        He should have looked in the mirror.

          Impact does not detonate a nuke.

          HTH.

              £500K is bottom end of the market these days.

                Either prices have sky-rocketed since I last looked or his place is an absolute palace.

                Or he is telling tall tales...

                    No, mine is a cheap little villa only worth half that.
