Check
out your Credit Rating Before Applying for a Mortgage
Before ending
this section, I just wanted to mention a very helpful site. Check
out: JoinCreditExpert.
It allows you to enter your details and get a free credit report.
This means you can check your credit history BEFORE you apply
for a mortgage to ensure that it’s correct and avoid any
unnecessary delays.
Learn
the French Language
It’s in your best interests to at least learn the basics
of the language, if possible. Whether you need to have repairs
done, need help at the local grocery store, need to consult a
local builder or even just be able to programme your answer phone,
understanding and speaking the basics will reduce your stress
levels and those of people around you.
Furthermore,
the locals will respect you more for making an effort to learn
the language most important to them. Start learning as soon as
you know you’re going to execute your plans!
You
can check out the #1 language-learning software in the world,
Rosetta Stone, TheRosettaStone.co.uk/en.
From what I’ve been told, this is the best system available
to learn a new language. HOWEVER, if you’re not totally
serious about learning the language to a fluent level, there is
a great UK website that offers audio-books. There are 70 audio
sets on languages alone – take a look at the Audible.co.uk

Travel
Insurance for Morocco
Recently I had to claim twice. Just a while ago I went overseas
and for the whole duration of my trip I did not have my luggage.
It simply stayed in Heathrow while I went crazy trying to locate
clothes to keep me going. If I had not taken insurance, the airport
would have only paid out 25 pounds/day whereas my insurance covered
all of my costs (and they amounted to well over 25/day!)
American
Express
This website has insurance for everything - home, motor, identity,
and of course - travel insurance. If you click on the link above,
you'll go to the Travel Insurance area. Personally, I feel that
their prices are outragous compared to others.
Columbus
Direct
I get my travel insurance from Columbus or Direct Line - one or
the other is always cheaper than everyone else. The website could
not be easier to use – it’s not crowed with all sorts
of services…it just offers travel insurance. All you do
is enter some details, determine what kind of insurance you want
and decide if you want to pay the price. The site offers regular
travel, over 64, adventure, pet insurance and more.
Travel
Insurance Online
This company is part of Jade Stanley Limited which is regulated
and authorised by the Financial Services Authority. They provide
Annual Travel Insurance for UK Residents only. The insurance seems
fairly cheap so check this site against the others to find out
where you can get the best quote.

Airlines
British Airways
I have
never looked for flights to Morocco due to the low-cost carriers:
however, someone mentioned that they were doing really good deals.
Well – let me tell you…I cannot recommend more highly
the entire process of buying and flying with British Airways (and
that goes for flying anywhere in the world).
To begin,
I booked my tickets over their website and it was totally awesome.
You can specify whether or not you can fly +/- 3 days or +/- 7
days in order to see the various prices on each day. By booking
this way, I found that it was £100’s of pounds cheaper
to go out on a Saturday rather than a Sunday. If I hadn't known
this, I would have simply booked the days I originally had in
mind or used a low-cost, no frills carrier.
Then…when
I arrived at the airport, all I had to do was go to a machine
that looked like a cash machine (hole-in-the-wall) and enter the
Credit Card I had used to purchase the tickets. After about 3
minutes of answering the security questions on the machine, my
tickets popped out and I was instructed to go to the baggage drop-off
point. Holy-flippin-smokes!!! The entire booking in process took
no more than 7 minutes.
I highly recommend
BA if you fly anywhere…they truly are a class act!
Travel
Booking Webservices
I use the following two websites when I want to compare the prices
that different airlines offer. It's easier than calling a travel
agent as you simply enter your preferred dates and let the website
work its magic. With both Opodo and eBookers I have never experienced
any problems.
Opodo
This website is also fantastic – it is one of those sites
that checks all air carriers at once. Every time I fly home to
Rochester, New York, I use these people. It’s easy to use,
the online system checks all the airlines flying to your particular
destination and then ranks them according to price, dates or whatever
you want them to be ranked by. The ickets are sent out automatically
or you can often get electronic tickets. I’ve used this
company at least 14 times and have not once been disappointed.
The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t see
the prices if you travel 1 day earlier or 3 days later as you
can on British Airways.
eBookers
eBookers is an excellent site. You can book flights, hotel, car
rental and anything else to do with travel. The site is easy to
use and I find the prices very competitive. When booking flights
I often check this one and Opodo. eBookers sends out eMails if
the flight changes so I always feel confident that I know what's
going on.
Thomas
Cook Don't forget to go to the Thomas Cook website
before you book your flights for inexpensive holidays. There may
just be a holiday offer that would slot in with your plans to
view property - a whole lot cheaper perhaps than it would cost
you through a high-street travelagent. There is no better way
to decide where to buy than to spend a holiday there, preferably
out of season.

Save
Money Buying a Property in Morocco
Many buyers unknowingly pay £1,000 to £10,000 more
than they have to - don't let this happen to you. By using a currency
exchange specialist rather than a bank you can save money by:
1.
Buying at a better rate (save 2% - 4%)
2.
Creating a strategy to buy at the best time (save £1,000's)
3.
Eliminating Bank receiving charges that can be in the £100's.
