Another good bit of advice I have just received is to get copies of developer contracts in advance - I have requested these on properties Im interested in. I'll update you on the outcome and post copies of any I get

For anybody bringing diving gear or sports equipment out (or possibly any extra baggage) my allowance in total via Thomas Cook Flying with Monarch was the normal 20kg - excess baggage was £10 per kilo!!! However I discovered that Monarch do a sports allowance but you have to ask for it. It works out at £30 per return trip for an extra 13kg. However on pressing them it is actually £15 per 13kg each way so I was told I could get an extra 26Kg one way for £30 - still extra money but a lot less than the £260 I would have had to pay as excess baggage!! The number for this service (as well as extra leg room) was +44 1582 400 000 and they answered quite quickly
