Thomas Sinclair is the founding editor of the UK Argentina Guide. He arrived in Buenos Aires in 2019 after a decade writing on UK personal finance for national publications, and has spent the intervening years mapping the practical landscape for British professionals who move to Argentina — not as retirees winding down, and not as gap-year travellers, but as working-age people who need their tax position, banking stack, and healthcare to hold up under real scrutiny.
Before launching the guide, Sinclair worked as a freelance journalist in London, contributing to the Financial Times, The Guardian, and a stable of specialist money titles on tax, pensions, mortgages, and inheritance. That background shapes the editorial method here: every guide starts with the primary source — the gov.uk page, the HMRC manual, the Migraciones decree, the BCRA circular — and works outward. When Argentine law or UK tax rules shift, the guides are re-verified and re-dated rather than left to drift.
Sinclair writes for the British professional who is trying to decide whether the move is viable, not merely romantic. The coverage leans into the questions that actually determine whether a relocation holds up: how HMRC treats non-resident landlords, whether the UK State Pension freezes in Argentina, what prepaga actually covers compared to the NHS, and which Buenos Aires neighbourhoods suit British families with school-age children. Legal review on immigration and property matters is provided in partnership with Lucero Legal, an Argentine immigration and property law practice.

How this guide works
Every article links back to the editor who stands behind it
Coverage on this site is written from a single editorial desk in Buenos Aires rather than a rotating pool of freelancers. If an article is published here, Thomas either wrote it, edited it, or takes responsibility for the facts.
