Hi Meri We have a two bed apartment in the center. We want 450 UK pounds for it. All inclusive. It will be ready for that date. Please get your friend to PM me if they are interested and I can pass on more details. Good luck Chaz

Hi. We have a two bed flat on the top floor of an older style building in the center, near Congreso. The place is furnished and we are now redecorating. It has a great view over the city. Would suit a couple. We are open to negotiation about the price, but would prefer all inclusive of bills...

We are coming to Baires to spend some some time with the Argentine part of the family and renting a flat in The Once / Almagro area. We are bringing along our two year old and would like some advice about activities for him. If he doesn't get out of the flat, I think we will all go crazy! In...

We are looking to rent out a two bed flat in the center, but as we are not going to be in Baires we are thinking of using a Real Estate Agent. However we are worried about the problems this may involve. Does anyone have any experience of using one? My gut instinct is that it would not work out...

I agree with Medhill. It was a good time to sell before the last elections. Since the restrictions have come in having property in Argentina looks like hard work. Moving your money around has become too difficult, or impossible. There are just too many risks involved and too much hassle. When...

There are builders out there who you can trust and who do a good job. If they get paid a reasonable wage on time you make it worth their while. They know it will lead to more work. Easier if you speak reasonable Spanish though. Unless it is very complex (which I doubt being a PH en Almagro), I...

Hia Afew years ago I used to go to their offices with a great view. Now I believe they do not have an office in BA. Even in the UK it is difficult or impossible to find an office. Everything is done on line or on the phone. On a different topic, becareful buying airline tickets from travel...

I am sorry about your experience, I do sympathise. I had a bad one in my first few weeks too. I guess you are understandably suffering from shock. Look after yourself and don't panic. Give it time and life will move on and those memories will fade and confidence will come back. Spanish classes...

If you have permanent residency you should be in Argentina minimum one day every two years, if you want to be sure to keep it.

William Brown was born in Ireland. As a British person I learnt to distance myself from the Malvinas issue. Obviously it is good to learn about it and have an opinion. However just because someone happens to be born in the UK, it does not make them responsible for the issue. That would be...

I'm not sure, but my ex girlfriend used to call me a buenboludo (which I was with her), and her cunado a medioboludo. It gets everywhere that word.

I did one of these courses four years ago at EBC, look at their web site. It was interesting. Only about three of us out of fifteen did any teaching afterwards. This was because the pay and conditions were terrible. Most of the people on the course were rich kids from the US and it wasn't...

I do not think so. Scotland has been providing a huge amount of money from North Sea Gas and Oil for years and there is more up there. This is a debate about self determination.

Abit off topic, but I was thinking....There is a good chance they could become independent, through self determination. The government in Westminster are up for giving them a straight, yes, no, vote. This is huge for Britain. Could the Falklands/Malvinas remain British, but Scotland become...

This was not similar to my experience there. Almost all Tango schools are set up for tourists as that is where the cash is, so who can blame them. If you want a not for tourist place, go where they only speak Spanish.

I am sorry to hear your story, and thank you for sharing it. It sounds to me like you need a new start, not in Argentina. I hope you can get yourself back to the USA or Europe and then start to build something up with the benefits that you get from being a citizen of those countries and by...

In Britain we call it the ironmongers. There are not so many now due to the big stores but they are not so different from those in Argentina.

Perhaps there is not much difference for expats bringing dollars into the country, but for Argentines, who make up most of the market, it is much more difficult to get hold of dollars. The dollars are also more expensive when you can get hold of them, the difference between the black market rate...

Will the new restrictions on changing pesos to dollars affect the price of property in Argentina? If it is difficult to get hold of the dollars to put on the table surely there are going to be a lot less people with the cash to buy? I would have thought the market could fall apart? However I...

When someone acts like this they are doing their best to frighten and intimidate the other person. Basically turn them into a victim, so it is bullying basically. A way of boosting their damaged egos. This is usually done with nastie threatening and totally unreasonably behavour. This is their...
