Hi Damien, If its your first home, you will not pay stamp duty. If it is for investment, stamp duty is 5% of the total cost of property. Other costs, such as insurance and bank fees will again be contingent on the cost and/or value of the property. This is far as I can help but close to...

Hello all, My partner and I, mid 50's, are looking to buy a place for 2nd home then retirement, and have narrowed our search down to 2 areas - SW France (Lot & Garonne, Dordogne, Gironde etc.),and rural Andalucia in the general Seville area (big difference I know). We enjoy sun/pool...

Hey Nelson, I'm sorry to hear you're no longer happy in Belgium, where would you ideally like to move to? If you can be more specific, I'm sure there are expats out there who will be more than happy to pass on their experiences. What kind of work would you be looking for? How old are your...
