My pleasure! They say Mercury retrograde is a bad time to buy houses, and if you start and ink deals during that period, you wind up buying lemons.

Wow – I didn’t realise astrological influences had a bearing on house hunting! Talk about learn something every day – thanks Jack – we really needed to hear that. Let’s hope it comes true.

Astrologically, this is a better time to buy than during your earlier house hunt, so I have a good feeling! Good luck, Dennis.

Who knows – Jaen province may turn out a bummer but we’re going to give it a go. Hey Simon – I didn’t think SA had room for any more clapped old fellas like me

And then again, you could try South Africa’s western or southern cape. Cheaper if you’re paying in pounds, euros or dollars; better climate; food just as good; some of the world’s best scenery; and they speak English.

It sounds very nice Dennis. Iâ€™m afraid my message is going to be short Iâ€™m typing with one hand and holding the phone to the airport in the other, I should be out there within the next 5 hours â€¦â€¦..

No, on a more serious note it does sound nice, and living outside the ex-pat community will probably workout to your advantage in the long term, a real community spirit.

I hope you get your 4 bed place, as my dear old mum always says â€˜it doesnâ€™t do any harm to know people in a sunny climate with spare rooms come summerâ€™.
