John, this is veering OT from your housing question, but the above caught my eye. Just in case you haven't already come across this, be aware that in the case of a no-deal Brexit where the UK is treated as an unlisted country there might be additional hoops to jump through bringing your cat in... or not.

Here is a thread discussing the subject:

Hop on over to the Pets Corner if you have further questions, hopefully folks who regularly travel to and from the UK might have updated information.

(And if you've already got this covered, then applogies - ignore me. )


Good luck with the house hunt!
