Hi Len and Syl, we've just got back and managed to rent a house for the first year from next Feb, it's still being built but we can move in as soon as it's ready which should be in the next couple of months. We are just waiting for our house to sell. Thanks for the info, it's looking as though it may not be worth taking the car across as it is an old Lexus and the engine size and emissions mean that it could incur quite a high charge when it gets to Cyprus, we are still checking though. Pam and Dave.
