Preparing for the future, cultivating your pension and lessening the burden of IHT are other frequently covered subjects in the national media across many countries.

Buying Caribbean property is one option ticking the box. Currently the properties in Jolly Harbour, on the island of Antigua, are extremely affordable.
With a range of spectacular beach side properties and land, to hillside views, this area offers a variety for the discerning buyer. Comfortable two bedroom, or sometimes three bed, town-house style villas situated directly on the water provide affordable relaxation within a pleasant community that you can choose to dip in and out of.
These villas have been the choice of yachties, golfers and beach lovers, among them many Swiss, British, Canadians and Italians. Plenty of Europeans are among those choosing migration like the birds mainly around October or November each year. This group of fair weather devotees opt for the healthier choice to stay put, enjoying the beaches and spectacular sunsets the winter season brings, and not leaving until April or even May. Photos coming!
It’s a good arrangement, working well for those who’ve made the decision to downsize their main property and eschew the cold winters back home.
