Setting Up Some Viewings

By now, you will have hopefully seen details (online or via email) of some properties that are suitable for you. At this point, there's really only one thing for it: viewing them in real life.

So this is where the fun begins. Liaise with your estate agent to set up a day of viewings. Although it depends on how many properties you want to see (and, sometimes, restrictions on viewing the properties - especially if they're currently occupied) you should be able to get through them all in a day, perhaps two.

Which leaves you plenty of time to have a fun holiday! How long you stay there is clearly up to you - but I'd also recommend taking some time out of your holiday to do a little more investigation of your chosen area. Do some driving around, and check out where the local amenities are. Where are the local supermarkets and shops? How long will it take you to walk/drive to the beach? What's the transfer time to/from your nearest airport? What entertainment options will you have - what restaurants, bars, cafes will be near to you? The more information you can gather, the better position you will be in to make your final decision.

And of course, don't forget to do some all important shopping whilst you're there!
