Retiring abroad

[sir baconface]

Haha. The irony of a Brexiteer calling Europhiles ‘self-interested’! Lol.

Fcukin “lol”. OMG, literally like how old are you?

Retiring abroad would be ok for a while but I bet the statistics show more people return home

Usually they go for the better climate and depending on where you buy you can often get more for your money. These days with the wi fi and satellite TV they can get every TV channel they can at home, so it's like home with better weather. I think bad health fetches a lot back, or the death of a partner.

I'm wondering if some kind of agreement will be reached with people who buy a property otherwise sales will probably plummet. Mind you the whole coronavirus situation has added more complications.

Of course. Brexit voters should have put a few thousand self-interested expat property buyers and long stay vacationers above petty considerations like trade, unfettered immigration and sovereignty. How stupid of us.

Some corkers in there

We used to pop down to SP for a change, around 40 minutes from Campello.

when we were looking for a place one of the estate agents was pushing this place (as a house wasn't that bad actually) but his big selling pitch was 'you'll really like the area its just like little England' - we couldn't get out the door quick enough

I'm now retired in NZ.. small block of 15 acres.. its the best thing I ever did. I did assume I'd retire back in the UK.. but I cant leave here.. I do the occasional days work for verbal interaction with other people than the War office... but rarely feel the need to move away from the block. I fancy starting a small farm/ air bnb but purely a hobby. Just like my car collection ..

Think 3 months abroad is just enough. My plan is to spend Jan and Feb aboard in a couple of years and 10 months over here with a couple of weeks away in the summer. 2 x 1 week. Think will rent in a different place each winter. See more that way. Kids getting out of my hair soon so going to start winding down a bit.

Went to NZ for the first time a couple of years ago. Stunning country and a place I want to explore more when I am retired.
