Has anyone retired to the Dominican Republic and bought a house without renting first?
We have had previous problems selling a UK house with obstructive tenants who would not let people view at weekends, and it took ages to sell. We're not keen on doing it again.
If you did buy straight away, which agents are the best to use, and solicitors?
How many trips did you do before you found your home?
These are all important questions to us.
