    Letting Agents, What exactly do they do?

    You will be more careful of who you let into your house than a letting agency( even a good one). That 'd be my opinion. Nothing to stop you asking for references from there previous landlords and giving them a call, if not first time tenants. Used letting agencies in the past and never again...

    Honeymoon options for July

    Barcelona is very nice but if you are willing to do the city option for your Honeymoon, then I would suggest Rome and Venice. Spend a few days in Rome and a few days in Venice. Nothing more romantic than the Trevi Fountain at night.:)

    Anybody going to Ecuador in the next two weeks

    The property market is likely to drop for another few months before any SLOW recovery. I would make a fair offer of €400,000 but be prepared to sit and wait for a week.
