Please don't sell your property. Tell your husband to have more patience in finding work. How old is he? If he's nearly retired, then you only need to wait few years.
If you have already your business running good, you have property for accommodations, I would still say don't sell the property and let somebody to let it for your other income source. The cost of living in the Philippines is really getting high and British way of living is not that simple like we do.
My husband can't wait to settle there too. But he's only 51 so I always calm him down.Although I've got properties, but I can say he needs decent house and I can't feed him if he has no pension or we don't have stable business in the Philippines. I do like to live and move there asap. But I will make it sure that the business I am going to establish is running good and we have other income aside from that. I don't think about buying property anymore and no plan to sell any.
Hi Steve! I have met some british in Cebu who staying in Pinas for a decade. One of them is doing scuba diving business and the other one is running a bar and restaurant. Another british who owned a pension house in Ermita and motel in Mindoro. They seem happy running their business and no plans yet in coming back to UK. I also met one dutch who own big boat for scuba and he also owns restaurant where you can find dutch beers and liquors. He is also married with filipina. Some filipinas are really good in running business. Most of the time, the wife is the industrial partner.
Here's one of their website:
