Hi
We are a couple who are thinking of spending 5 or 6 months of the year living somewhere tropical. Last year i spent a few weeks working in Sri Lanka and enjoyed the country very much. We are thinking of buying a property to live in during the british winter months, around the Matara area. Something to do up would suit us best, and maybe in the future a couple more to do up and rent out. Any advice on buying property, taxes, visas and finding competent reliable work men would be greatly appreciated. Also do's dont's pitfall etc. We are planning a trip over within the next 6 weeks to see what things are like on the ground.
Many thanks
