Hello peoples of the forum, :spin:
My name is Ben and my wife is called Tamsyn, we go to Tenerife on holiday pretty much every year staying in different hotels on the south side of the island. We have a 3 going on 13 year old son we are contemplating a move to Tenerife on a permanent basis.
we will be looking to leave the UK in a couple years allowing us to save up about £45k whilst still having our mortgaged property in London being let out to ensure the mortgage is paid and should we have to return to the uk there is something in place.
My wife is a primary school teacher and has been for the last 11 years, myself I am a chef and have been in the catering game for nearly 20 years.
we would like to move out just before our son is 6 as I believe that is the start age of primary schooling.
I have joined the forum just to get advise and knowledge and hopefully hints, tips and pointers to making it a pleasant and easy transition.
Thanks for reading :)
Regards
Ben & Tamsyn

That is a very useful read,
The homesick bit my wife will struggle with I'm sure as she loves her London but if "WE" do it correctly I'm sure it will just become a place where she lived.

I hope so,
I think we are going about it in the right way.
lots of investigating planning and of course ensuring reasonable finance and something left in the UK should my wife change her mind as I know it will not be me :laugh:
