I DON´T LOVE AND ADMIRE THE VIKINGS. I DON´T ADMIRE OR WORSHIP THE ICELANDERS ( THEY ARE NOT “PURE VIKINGS” BUT A MIX OF MANY EUROPEAN NATIONS, AND NOW POLISH, ALL KIND OF ASIAN, ETC…).

MAYBE IN NORWAY YOU ARE DOING A BETTER WORK IN TRYING NOT TO MIX WITH “IMPURE” RACIAL GROUPS AND KEEP YOUR VIKING HERITAGE INTACT. BUT NOT HERE IN ICELAND. ICELAND IS VERY MULTICULTURAL AND MIXED. YOU CAN FIND HERE THOUSANDS OF “REAL ICELANDERS” WITH BROWN SKIN AND BLACK HAIR…

AND, WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOUR RESPONSE??

THERE ARE CERTAIN LAWS THAT ALLOW EU CITIZENS TO BUY LAND IN ICELAND, AND EVEN IN NORWAY, JUST IN THE SAME CONDITIONS THAT THE NATURALS OF THOSE COUNTRIES.

DO YOU LIKE IT LIKE THIS OR NEED SOME MAYONAISE?

GUS. When it comes to buying properties, it is very important to read what is written in small letters – never thrust what is written in big letters/uppercases/capitals. The Vikings – that you love and admire so much – has at least made a very good homepage for those of their citizens who wants move around http://www.hallonorden.org.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FREE MOVEMENT OF WORKERS ALL EU CITIZENS ARE GRANTED RESIDENCE IN ICELAND. THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO THE BUYING OF PROPERTY BUT THE LIMITS THAT ARE IMPOSED TO THE NATIONALS. ALSO RESTRICTIONS OR DISCRIMINATION GROUNDED ON NATIONAL ORIGIN IS FORBIDDEN WITHIN THE BORDERS OF THE EEC.

SO AS A BRITISH YOU CAN BUY AS MUCH AS ANY ICELANDER. ACTUALLY ICELANDIC BANKS AND REAL STATE AGENCIES ARE HOPING FOR FOREIGNERS TO INVEST IN HOUSING IN ICELAND.

IT IS TRUE, YEARS AGO IT WAS BULGARIA OR RUMANIA, YOU COULD GET VERY CHEAP HOUSES AND APARTMENTS THERE, NOW IS THE TURN OF ICELAND. THERE IS PLENTY OF EMPTY UMPAID HOUSES, SUMMER HOUSES ETC… THAT THE BANKS WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET RID OFF.

CLEAR?

Thanks Oystein, I’ll use Google to plow through it.

Anyone else doing likewise might like to know that translating that contents page means the rest of the document translates when you follow the contents links. Very cool :) .

“Speaking of exchange rates, I note that the new Yahoo currency converter had the Króna at 357 to the £ compared with the Seðlabanki joke rate of 202 to the £.”

Króna at 357 – today 360 – to the £ is ‘BID’.

‘ASK’ is 417 against £ ( 363 to the Euro ).

An untenable situation for the icelandic people.
