    Non-resident bank account

    Yes, it does depend on who you talk to at HSBC. First call their International Divison in Manchester who will give you all the facts. I recall there is a fee of 100 pounds but mine was wavered for as a Premier customer. You may get lucky with your local branch who may know all the facts, but if...

    WARNING- get out before you get in

    Personally I would not take advice from a pundit trader who also finds time in-between trades to respond to property forums. The more you write the more you're embarassing yourself. I come from the Warren Buffet school of investing, not Nick Leeson.

    Zan, stop beating about the bush and say what you really feel about Intl City. Intl City has proved one of the best investments for novice buyers in terms of rental yield (by far better than Discovery) and percentage price increase. Last time I checked there were human beings trying to make a...

    Miscellaneous Questions: Post them here

    I didn't really care much about the names when I bought 3/4 years ago. I was simply looking for a good investment and a good return in the long run. The Moroccan sector overlooked the lake and I bought purely for that reason alone. Waking up to a half decent view should go someway to rent the...
