Default Looking for inexpensive, warm place away from UK

Hi ,
I am looking to move from England, I am really tired of this place. Somewhere warm would be nice, even if it gets cold a bit. A place where things aren't as expensive as here. Language is a thing to consider, Can speak Portuguese, but looking for a place where my husband will be able to work and speak English.
Thanks
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Well my advice is Turkey, with following reasons: Property prices are rising 30% annually, Interest rates are excellent and the process is very easy.
See you again
Joshua

Try Abu Dhabi in the UAE a strong and growing economy means plenty of jobs for expats earning tax free wages, prices for a 2 bed townhouse (1563sqft) completing coming a shade under £120k, which is pretty cheap for the capital city.

Plenty of sunshine, large expat communities and English is spoken by more or less everyone. Theres a healthy 2nd hand car market offers good value buys thanks to expats coming into and leaving the country, health care facilities are modern and upto date,. Over all there is plent to do and plenty to see, ideal for anyone wanting to move abroad

If you can speak Portuguese then maybe Portugal should be an option
Anywhere on the Algarve and your husband will have no problem finding English people to talk to. The Silver Coast north of Lisbon is cheaper and also becoming popular with foreign buyers.

Default Silver Coast - Portugal

I have heard this is a nice area, we work with some real estate there and it is quite upmarket and nice, and an area that is less commercial than the algarve, is an hour from Lisbon.
Algarve more work opps, but more competition, and more expensive for what you get. The other question is what does your husband do for a living.

Hi, Joseph,
I would like to offer you Bulgaria as an option, because it is a favorit place for many English already and many lokal people can speak English as well.

Hi Joseph,

I definately advise you to move to Turkey!
We have sold our one apartment to a British man who thinks like you.He was bored of money problems and efforts for living happily!He decided to have a search for Turkey with one of the inspection trips and he liked Altinkum at the end!He has sold his house in England, moved to here for permanent living.He has paid approximately £38.000 totally for his home in Altinkum and keep the balance in a bank.He does not think to work because the balance can be enough for him till he dies.He is living alone but we live in the same apartments so we can visit each other frequently.In Turkey, the neighbourship is like a friendship, we share our meals, have cup of tea at nights,help when needed,..
When I ask him, he says that he is happy because no financial problems any more, sun instead of rain all day, no stress..He is trying to learn the culture of Turkish people so happy to be with us! Altinkum is cheap in everything like foods,furniture,utilities costs,not too much local taxes...The weather is always sunny and it is not lower than 10 degrees even in winters..No rain unfortunately for us (we need it now)!
What is your husband's job?Our 2nd language is English so he can find a job easily for himself here, so many offices have English staff working..
If you have something to ask to that English guy who can be a guide for you, I will be happy to ask him.
He will be happy to help, I am sure..

I think sometimes it is time to change the lifestyle..
Best regards,
Cagla

What type of work does your husband do? There are different options depending whether he has a white collar or a blue collar job.

Getting work abroad can be a problem if you don't speak the language in very many countries.
