To rent or buy?
As UK property values soar - and threaten to swoop - the answer could well lie abroad. This holds equally true for short or long-term rentals, or purchase for investment or pleasure.
A quality property in beautiful surroundings with a virtually guaranteed climate is always attractive. A villa in Italy or Portugal, an apartment in Spain, a farmhouse in France, or a luxury house in Cape Town all conjure up an undeniable magic.
South Africa is one of the worlds most beautiful countries. Its natural attractions are unparallel and Cape Town often called the "Mother City" is not just sophisticated but also a city with breathtaking views of mountains, seas and vineyards.
You could enjoy a standard of living unattainable in the UK, with the opportunity to experience the best that Nature can offer in this world. Imagine a three, four or five bedroomed house with their own pool, staff quarters and security can be had for a fraction of the cost of a Clapham semi. Spacious apartments overlooking the sea or Table Mountain cost less than a studio flat in Ealing. Fully serviced, gated retirement developments set in landscaped gardens cost less than a house in Newbury.
the list is endless. Failing that take a holiday house or a villa for a short break or stay in a Guesthouse and you may just land up buying a property.
