A SCCC membership would work out cheaper

Believe it or not, prices are extravagant everywhere.
What’s the betting that the money made on these doesn’t make it into the coffers for the ground improvements? This was said to be the reason for the development but the cynic in me says that the monies get swallowed up in the general running of the club and the ground stays exactly as it is.
Does that mean you’d need two lottery wins to be able to afford two?
Definitely as my mrs would have spent the rest of the win on crap.
A friend almost brought one off plan but there are a lot of caveats and restrictions surrounding what you can and can’t do with the property, restrictions on buying to let etc. Plus you’d be living above a pub. Which has pros and cons. So he pulled out. Shame. Although I have another friend who’s balcony directly overlooks the ground.
However, I prefer being down amongst it. Pay an extra fiver and get a pavilion seat. Bar and toilets just behind you, cricket in front of you and mates beside you. Throw in a blozza and a burger and all my needs are met

There's a 2 bedroomed flat on the marina here on the market for 1.75 million euros. No cricket to watch, just boats and waves (it has its own rooftop pool though)..

Wow. Just had a friend and his Mrs move to Portugal as they said the cost of living, quality of life etc.. Is better out there. On some scheme for pension aged people. Said it was easy and quick to get residency.
Only moved out at Xmas so early doors yet. Sounds great to get away from the cold and wet tho.
Any problems with residency post Brexit and all that?

It's not too difficult to get residency (D7 visa) as long as you have an income of around 1,500 per month. Cost of living is generally lower than the UK but cars are very expensive to buy and insure. Housing is cheap away from the Algarve, Lisbon and Porto.. They are probably on the NHR tax scheme, 10% income tax for 10 years and no tax on share dividends.

You have to apply for residency via VFS Global and the Portuguese Embassy in the UK now. You need proof of income, health insurance and a 12 month rental contract or property purchase. You can't just move here and then apply at the local town hall as you could pre-brexit.

Ive just cancelled Netflix & Disney+, and used the money from that to put down a deposit....
Mind you, if FP Jnr makes it in the sport, he can buy one for his folks instead!
