Both times my, ehm, good friend bought a house in uk the docs included a very thorough list of things that had to stay, as well as things that HAD to go.

Does England count as Europe?




Geographically, England is part of Europe, but regardless of the EU membership thing, UK domestic laws have always been very different from those in continental Europe due to very different legal histories. They aligned on the kinds of things that the EU regulates, but when it comes to something like property abandonment I’d expect them to be wildly different.


Not in this case, no - at least, it’s not the norm in the U.K., whereas it absolutely is in a lot of mainland Europe.


Quite shockingly Old Blighty hasn't been French for quite some time.
