The numbers nobody shows you
№ 1
The €22,000 we spent making a "sunny" house warm, and how to spot it before you buy.
№ 2
The pool that quietly cost us €240 a swim, and the smarter way to get the swim without the bill.
№ 3
The seventeen-year title deed trap, and the one question to ask before you hand over a cent.
№ 4
Why the bank says no the moment you move, especially if you're retired, and the workaround.
№ 5
Healthcare: what we paid in Cyprus versus what we pay in Dubai, and what to sort first.
№ 6
Solar: the one cost that pays you back, and takes the electricity bill to almost nothing.
Why listen to me?
I'm not the guru who did it perfectly. Five years in Thailand, a year back in the UK, five and a half years in Cyprus, and now Dubai. Two houses, a family of four, more than a decade of my life spent living abroad.And I got caught out, again and again. I paid the €22,000. I got de-banked by my own UK banks. I bought the pool I barely used. Then I sat down and worked out the real numbers, and now I hand them to you, so you go in with your eyes open instead of finding out the hard way like I did.
