When will I be ready
- If it’s totally leaving the UK
- Unless we are retired millionaires we need an income
- If you don’t speak the local language you will be restricted to tourist trade jobs where the business owners are normally Expats.
- Why not learn the new language while you are still in the UK
- Different areas have different living costs
- A cheaper way of life can be lost with lower wages in your chosen country
There is no point in moving permanently abroad unless you can generate an income while you are in your 2nd home or your retirement pension is sufficient
Most second home buyers rent out their UK property while they try living in their new home. The rent can help their income and they have peace of mind that if their choice was wrong, after trying it for a year they always have somewhere to come back to.

Remember: If you dont have a job you can research on holidays at your home in between paying rentals, or have a year renting using some capital from your house as a guffer and in most cases your rental income from your uk home will cover the mortgage depending on the size of your mortgage.
