If you are looking to purchase property as an investment or are looking to buy a property for retirement purposes, why not try Famagusta in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus?
With its miles of sandy beaches, warm seas, friendly people, long hot summers and mild winters, northern Cyprus has become one of the best places to invest.
For those who are unaware, Famagusta lies on the east coast of the country and has gone from a sleepy little fishing village to a lively and bustling major center for tourism in northern Cyprus.
Famagusta has some of the finest mediaeval monuments in Cyprus and it is said that if you spend a day in Famagusta, this will provide you in a nutshell, the complete history of northern Cyprus.
Homes Abroad Cyprus are an estate agent in northern Cyprus and have a wide range of property on offer including villas and apartments for sale in Famagusta. Prices start at just 30,000 GBP.

Since moving from Alhaurin el Grande in Inland Spain we have been rather at a loss since we didn’t have any British television. The kids have been going mad with boredom, the mrs misses her soap operas and I haven’t seen a decent film in ages, well, not one I could understand fully anyway.
So I decided to get sky tv installed by The Sky Doctor. Went for free view in the end as it provides us with all the channels we need. The guys who installed the dish and box etc were great and done a great job with hardly any mess.
So if you need sky tv and are living on the Costa del Sol, give them a call or visit their website www.theskydoctor.com

Well its been a tough couple of months here in Spain, as it appears that we are going through a mini recession, most probably due to the economic situation in the UK and the U.S.
Real estate companies have seen a huge drop in demand for properties on the Coast although there does seem to be some demand still for rural inland spanish property as there are some real bargains to be had especially if you don’t mind some renovation work.
A lot of Brits are leaving Spain to head back to the UK but the situation there does not seem much better.
Personally I think these things generally run their course. There are peaks and troughs not only in the economies of the world but also in life in general.
So if you are a Brit living in Spain keep your chin up as things will pick up.

With online auction sites such as Ebay now feeling the backlash from disgruntled sellers and bidders due to recent changes to their fee structure, there have been a number of emerging auction sites popping up across the web focusing on local communities rather than the global internet community as a whole.
There are a number of online auctions in Spain now being set up to cater for the British and English speaking communities on the coast and they are proving to be very popular among expats.
There are many advantages to using local auctions in Spain and include the following:-
By trading on an online auction site in Spain, as a buyer there is a good possibility that the delivery costs will be significantly reduced compared to the larger global auction sites. This is because delivery is within the same country which saves you the buyer money and also enables the seller to keep the price low to attract as many bids as possible on the item.
Another great advantage of using a local auction site is that delivery time is usually a lot quicker due to buyer and seller being in closer proximity to each other.
How about viewing the item in person before buying? Not something you can do on the larger global internet auction sites or course! This enables you to be more selective and make sure that you are not bidding for one thing and then receiving something totally different.
All in all, online auction sites in Spain and other parts of the world are a great idea and I think that eventually the major auction websites will feel the effects of these increasingly popular sites.

Well 2008 is finally upon us. Its funny how we all have high hopes for ourselves with our new years resolutions and also hopes for a better world to live in for all of us without terrorism, war and killing but year after year these hopes are dashed in one way or another.
If you are one of those who are planning on losing weight or getting fitter in the new year. Don’t give up!! You can do it. Don’ t be one of the many millions of people who do not follow through with their new year resolutions.
All the best and a happy 2008 to all.
