I'm retired and looking at properties in the Essex area,Clacton in particular(cheaper).my question is any Filipino's living there in Clacton,or surrounding areas?

I need to come back to the UK,firstly on my own, for a fact finding tour...schools etc.living accommodation.

So any advice would be welcome....Thanks.
Patrick. I've just been reading the initial thread that you posted here in February ... at which time I was nearing the end of my second trip to the Phils ... so Welcome back into our midst.

I'm sorry to learn that your marriage appeared to not work out as you'd obviously hoped ... and most especially about the subsequent "rumours" that your wife may no longer be alive. Such news must have been devastating for you!

Forgive me being inquisitive, but would I be correct in assuming you've since remarried - as opposed to finding out that your Filipina wife HADN'T in fact, died after all and you'd been reconciled - as the second paragraph of your PRESENT post makes mention of your 11-year-old daughter's British passport as well as envisaging no problems with "your wife applying for a visa"?

As to your questions regarding current property prices in the Home Counties, I've wisely left those for others living in the South East of England to answer. Good luck in your search.
