A place to escape to at weekends, to be near the sea, to slow down and, in time, perhaps turn into your main residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is an important decision. Not only because of the amount involved, but because you are choosing <strong>how you want to live part of your time<\/strong>. And when we talk with clients at this stage, they are usually not looking for someone to sell them a house, but for clarity, judgement and guidance to make a good decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
