We are determined not to spend another cold winter in the UK. The older we get the worse they seem to get.
We did visit Malts a few years ago and really liked it. Southern Spain or the Islands also have similarly mild climates but they seem positively anti-dogs. At our age, learning a new language is an obstruction we can do without, so Malta it is.
Apart from our Staffy, we have no real ties. Our pensions can all be paid there so we're determined to get things in motion.
The house is due for initial valuation tomorrow and I seem to have done little else for a week but research tax, houses, heating, cars, furniture, shipping companies etc.
And still we have loads of questions.
I've browsed this forum and you all seem such a helpful lot. Maybe there's a definitive answer to our most important question: Is it best to buy a Maltese property in advance and try to synchronise sale/purchase/moving or would it be better to sell here first, bank the money and move to a rented place in Malta while deciding on what to buy?
Any and all advice will be gratefully received.
