Woolybanana - He gave do's and dont's and errrr pitfalls(perhaps he should have seen this coming) etc in moving to other countries I quote Howell will be well known for his regular appearances at exhibitions and seminars at which he was invariably one of the best respected speakers. He has also been a regular advisor on TV and radio shows in both the UK and Ireland. It is to be hoped that he and his company will not be lost to the overseas property community completely.    Report

We couldn't watch it as quite simply so much was misinformation - especially as regarding new legislation regarding health, the programme must have been made 12 months before broadcast.    Report
