I've recently been looking around Estonia and looking at property there. This page is a collection of bits that can save you some time and energy!
The country is lovely, David and me went out for a reccy in April 2006. Here are some useful bits;
Getting there Easy jet from Stansted, fly into Tallinn. From Tallinn Airport, you can get a bus into the centre. The taxis are also very reasonable they don't cost much for short journeys!
Your cash card will work, the exchange rate is roughly 22.5 Kroon to the pound (April 06). The Kroon is pegged to the Euro, Estonia will enter the Euro in 2007.
Property Searching sites
Well to start there's a UK based company, with offices based in Estonia, called Churchill Overseas i'm not linked to them, just to say, i've been out there, met their staff,
they are very helpful.......
