UK owners in the villages
 

Hi we are interested to learn about owning in the villages - Are there any UK owners that I could make contact with

Are you asking about UK residents owning homes as a winter / vacation property or just in general, UK expats that now live in the villages?

Feel free to message me or ask any questions here. I'm originally from East Anglia, for American's, that's North East of London :)

See Post No. 20 in the thread above discussing opinions on moving into new vs. established areas in The Villages. The poster is British who just bought near Glenbrook Country Club. I imagine he'd be happy to share his knowledge.

If you are already in TV, I think there is a British-American club you could join

I’ve sent you a message - thank you

I had close friends who lived in Yorkshire and would come over to their home every winter for six months. They did it for many years until the medical insurance and other UK fees got too much for them and they sold their home for a really good profit and went back. They loved it here, but age gets you in the end.

By the way you might want to look into owning vs renting. I know they ran into problems with the tax man when they sold over here.

Also TwoBills is British and rented here and elsewhere for years for the winter.

Plenty of Brits in TV...

Only problem is they talk funny... :icon_wink:

I we do that 🤭especially from Yorkshire

Years ago, while on. a cruise, we met a lovely older couple (on one of our tours) from England. They invited us to join them for drinks before dinner.

I arrived w/o my wife (running late, as usual), to find him and another gentleman sitting at a table in the bar (their wives were also running late...)

The third gentleman was from Scotland.

Every single time he said something, I said, "Excuse me?, and I looked to the gentleman from England to translate. I literally couldn't understand a word he said!

By the time my wife showed up, we were roaring with laughter at the insanity of our being separated by a common language, and my wife commented that she could hear us all the way down the hall...

When she asked what we were laughing about, I simply asked the Scotsman to say something. She said, "Excuse me?" Which sent us into another fit of laughter...

I am sure you will find this funny

When I first met my husband he had only lived in this country a few months, he moved from Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I got tired of saying “excuse me” so I just said “yes” to everything he said, that is why I am married to him and have three children.
