Differences in Buying a Home in the US vs England – Our Experience Buying a Flat in the UK

In this video we discuss some of the many differences between buying a home in the US vs. in England. We have purchased 20 houses in our 32 years of marriage… most of them were in Texas, but one was in Gloucestershire, England! Join us for a chat about what is different, difficult and surprising!

Please SUBSCRIBE for more discussions about all things British and videos of our adventures in the UK! Cheers! XX Dara and Ian
