I'm Kate and I live in Cyprus. We have been here for 18 months, having arrived here with no planning, 2 days after completion on our sale in the UK.
Regrets? None. But would I do it the way we did again? NEVER! There is so much information available on sites like this that we were totally unaware of.
We arrived here with no prior knowledge, e.g. Why is Pafos a holiday resort it looks inland on the map?
Research? Not really, we stayed in a hotel for 2 weeks, bought a house and rented for 6 months awaiting completion.
Lucky? I'll say. With hindsight we now know how wrong it could have gone, but good luck, not good planning made everything work out and we are grateful that we are happy here.
Web sites like this are wonderful and no-one needs to take the leap of faith that we did (blindly, I hasten to add)
I hope everyone is as lucky as we were, but you can help yourselves, read lots and ask questions here. Our kind of stupidity might not get you by.
Very best wishes to Nigel on an excellent web site, I know how lucky we were to scrape by without it. No-one else needs to.
Kate
