Advice from us who moved to France just before Brexit and things we wish we’d thought about. Find out how much tradesman are on average a day, go to the nearest builders merchants and see how much materials cost. We fell in love with an old, beautiful and very cheap house in France, only to find the cost of renovating here is more than double that of the UK. We’d never go back to the UK and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done, but if we could go back we probably wouldn’t have bought something so big or that needed so much work
The dancing 🎅 Santa killed me popping up , and great job on the two tier kier at the intro Stef 😂 can’t wait to see you all smash it in the Algarve , Adam
One thing that I will always say is that try to learn the language as much as you can. Not knowing the language of the locals when we moved away from the UK was a massive hurdle… made us isolated and somehow miss the UK!
so excited for you - hope the house sale goes well and we will soon see you all in Portugal. I am very excited to gift two of you Blackout Card sets to friends next week for Christmas. We have a set at home and we also bought your couples deck. Great job with the Blackout cards! Yeah you!
Kinging it is renovating an old place in Scotland and it’s falling apart and I def think you can do it! So excited for this adventure for you guys! I’m assuming you’re able to get the tax write off since you’ll be moving before Jan and Hannah’s birthday🥳
So so excited for you guys - would love to know, how are you getting the dogs over there? Is it a mission? I’d genuinely LOVE to know this as a fellow sausage dog servant and me and alex talk about moving almost daily 😂 x
Hey my love, sorry I just saw this! Hannah is making me drive them from Bath to London to get the Eurotunnel over to France and then drive right down to the Algarve. I asked her if we could just perhaps leave the dogs here, but she’s adamant they have to come.
American here (I know) but I’m curious what the requirements are for being able to live there? Do they require you to get a visa of some sort or become citizens within x time?
Fantastic .. you only live once , unless you believe in reincarnation . Besides everything is reversible except when you snuff it. Best wishes from a Brit in Toronto who jumped many moons ago .
I'm so excited for you BUT this renovation is going to be a nightmare. Any reno is a nightmare. An entire home is a nightmare. Why don't you connect with Mr & Mrs Adventure? They may be too happy and upbeat for you Steph, but WGAF? HAHA They seem to be doing well in their Portugal reno. I'm sure they've learned so much already.
Mr & Mrs paid far too much (double?) for a place that did not even have all legal documents. And now they keep spending more and more cash on a project that is not even halfway, just troubleshooting problems. The total amount they have already paid would be enough to buy a modern villa ready to move in with all mod cons and good insulation. They are a good example of what not to do.
Smashed that like button before the intro was done. Top tier content as ever you pair of lovelies. Also, M&S is full of amazing stuff now. When did that happen?
Best wishes on this new adventure. I really look forward to following along on the renovation, how you settle in, the challenges and rewards you find.🙏🏻🩵🪷
no matter what, this move into the crumbling villa will provide you guys an endless amount of top tier content.
You guys should start a Reno series on this channel! Should hopefully attract a larger audience too 😊
Dying to see a walk-through of the house!

Are you telling me you’re not taking The Chive? What happened with The Chive? 😂

My family is from Portugal so I already have access to a house I'm just trying to convince hubby it's a good idea
I'd be really interested in the reno project!
American here (I know) but I’m curious what the requirements are for being able to live there? Do they require you to get a visa of some sort or become citizens within x time?
Does anyone happen to know where Hannah’s black handbag is from please? 🙌🏻😀

are you selling your plants?
hannah,beef liver+copper helps with the hair loss❤
Clean eating diets tend to cause hair loss etc. Look up Orthorexia Nervosa.
wow the suitcase looks sooo nice! good luck with the move x
You guys seem so genuinely happy! I'm excited to see the renovations.
‘Not actual Stef’ 🤣
Stef, Jonathan joly has a male fitting ballet skirt he might lend you 🧚🏽♂️
Is there a reason why a family of four needs such a big infrastructure to live in?
Please sell us your plants ahah
"Not actually Steff" 😂
❤
Xx💕💕

Qvc ?
Good for you Steph...do you have family out there?

Also, M&S is full of amazing stuff now. When did that happen?
Surprised you didn’t move a lot earlier then if you don’t like living in a police state
They were deciding where to move to and selling their house. It took years but definitely worth it, uk is a complete mess
Too much suspense! I’m out
We really are at the M&S is great age now 🫠
Good luck with the move lads x
