Jeez, all you guys leaving Canada to come here and I'm trying to escape to get there .. . . . . !
I would agree that the market over here is picking up, but beware. The cost of living is also far higher, property prices in the UK are outside of the average wage bracket (in fact I earn £40,000 and cannot afford a house in Oxfordshire) and tax / NI is high. Having lived in both Canada and the UK, the people are nicer in Canada, it's a better quality of life and I know which I prefer. The grass may seem greener . . . . .. . .
Have no doubt that anyone moving over here has done their research and will have valid reasons but just wanted to add my 2 pence worth .. . .
Good luck with the conversions
