I have an odd question....for a friend....for 4....
I have "a friend" that is considering throwing in life in the UK and moving to Europe with his wife and 2 friends. The idea is to buy a B&B/small hotel in a resort that is good for skiing and also summer hols too.
They would rather keep away from just buying a chalet and renting out to guests and using as a second home, more of a full move to Europe (yes, they are aware of new Brexit requirements - but lets put all of that to one side at the minute).
Few questions to anyone who may be able to provide some info:
1. Where on earth do we find businesses for sale. Our friend Google has found some websites, but there's not much out there.
2. One of the interested parties seems to think that they could rent a property off a owner and then sublet during the winter months to paying guests. Basically, rather than buying a property yourself, rent from someone instead. Does this kind of thing exist?
This is still in the early stages at the minute, wont be looking to buy anything for 18 months - 2 years, however the planning may take that long in itself.
Any thoughts - please dont mention the brexit implications etc at the minute. They want to focus on looking at what is out there and whether it is within budget
