I got chatting with a local estate agent a couple of days ago.
He told me that nothing is shifting, and 95% of their current business is rentals.

This is from a long established local estate agent in the area i live. One with a very respectable name.

He didnt even try to sugar coat anything. Just told it as it is.

that's what i believe too... rental seems to be the way forward

And no, not even a viewing

Hi everyone,

This one's for Mr Bond I think. Like you I am about to move out to the States - yay! :j

Am wondering what the most cost-effective way is to convert from £3k up to £10k at a time to dollars and get it to my US bank account. You're not allowed to take in more than $10k at a time in cash when you fly in.

Was just out there working for a couple of months and once I got the go-ahead that I will be working out there permanently in about six weeks' time, I began drawing out my daily limit from my Nationwide and then putting the cash into my US account. But surely there must be a better way than that!

Thanks in advance Mr Bond! Hope all your prep is going well - I've got most of the US side of things covered but am about to start on things like changing my UK phone to a PAYG and other loose UK ends.
