Hi !!! We moved back after 8 yrs I think you have said what we were missing in just one post...good luck in your desision.

Hi...We were with Allianz in Oz .had no claims .....understood they would honour our no claims in the UK...but no they did not want to know...you will find if you have been out of UK as we had for 8 yrs it is very difficult to find cover ...most companies don't want to know and if they do it is going to cost you thats from our experience but good luck trying....

Brisbane to devon - any good removalists or ones to avoid
TIDNINN replied to fizzybangs's topic in UK Chat
Well !!! What a small world......we have not been back here for 20 years as we lived in Spain before moving to OZ... we stayed in OZ for over 7 years.......I lived here for many years before Spain ...... I have a lot of my friends here and the family are much nearer than OZ...so I am very happy too be back..although my husband misses his 3 times a week golf as the weather has not been too good for golf since we came back.......Torquay is still good although the town needs improvement as lots of shops have closed ...like many towns everywhere....there is a big choice in property so you should have no problems in picking up a decent buy....we have bought an apartment overlooking Torquay harbour with views around the bay ..... and I can see Roundham from all my windows......It is still " The English Riviera " ... -
Brisbane to devon - any good removalists or ones to avoid
TIDNINN replied to fizzybangs's topic in UK Chat
Hi there, We moved from Twin Waters back to Torquay a few months ago ...we used " CHESS " the packing was excellent ....the container was bought to the UK and then Brittania removals to our place of abode....no problems....everything was professionally carried out.....time of arrival was spot on ....we had one 20ft container.....would certainly give them a call...they are near Brisbane....good luck with your move !!!! -

Good luck with your rental...keep your property in case you want to come back... Australia is not for everyone!!!!!! it is more expensive than the UK....make sure you have a good job before you go out there...

Have been back in Devon for 10weeks now after nearly 8yrs on The Sunshine Coast...I must say it is nice to be back....biggest problems cannot get any credit cards when you have been out of the country for a while...have to build up utility bills ...and it will take about 6 months.....if renting you have to pay 6monhs rent in advance......just two of the main problems for anyone coming home after years away.....but otherwise no big problems.....:wink:
-
I will miss drying the washing in an hour or so.......but looking forward to returning to the Uk in March after.nearly 8yrs here on the Sunshine Coast.:wink:

You ask Why !!!! after 7 years Australia is not for us...miss UK and Spain...easy to get from one country to the other...miss family and friends in both places...it's a long way over here from people we miss..and we lived in Marbella for many years.....so we know.what to expect...but have to agree things are different now ...we keep up to date with all the news over there from our friends...and relatives...but we have no doubts on going back....and as you say if retired you can maintain a good life.
