New builds arent that cheap, location plays the biggest part in prices.

Within an hour of a major city/financial bubble prices are "high" (but not UK high!)

 

Renovation costs, the tax agency pays 30-50% of the labour costs up to roughly 8k/person/year. 

Green energy, 50% of labour and material upto 5k per person/year

 

Jonathan being a newcommer might needs to live here and pay tax before taxing advantages of the above though, not sure but might need a years tax paying before he's eligible?

One of pros about living in Sweden is the comparatively low cost of housing in rural areas where many Swedes are do not want to live compared to UK.

Programme on radio 4 today about car prices, on some premium models like Audi, a used unit can be more than a new one due to people's impatience on a waiting list. Vans are at a premium too, as previously said, "last mile subbies" soaking them up!

Not work trucks but is an indication of market forces/needs/component supply, JLR are apparently switching production to the new defender as that sells better than some of their other models.

The difference in house prices between here and Europe is unreal. Looking at 4 bed detached houses with land in France for half the cost of a studio flat around here.

Rural properties in France can be inexpensive compared to U.K properties though in our town 3 bed houses on 300m2 of land start around €300k.

The same property can be found in a rural area for half that with land measured in hectares but very little employment and a much reduced infrastructure.

For your interest, here is a page worth looking at.

I look quite frequently at properties there, i've wanted to move there for years. I was supposed to move there last April but Covid screwed that up.

 

Now it looks like it'll take 2-3 years to recoup lost money and get there with a new plan. Hopefully i can start up a business here to take with me in addition to the other stuff i can do for work.

Meth, learn how to cook meth and sell it to people who work in the slaughterhouses and food processing factories of rural Brittany.

Got to pay better than tree work...

After reading about your machine repair issues the other day i was thinking how i should've messaged you months ago. An English-speaking mechanic that wants to be a tree surgeon could've been useful!

 

Got a few things to look at, a combination of mechanics, HGV driving, welding, furniture making, tree surgery. Who knows.. Class 2 next week then starting new job the week after. Then i can start figuring out a new escape plan.

 

(I can cook, but meth hasn't yet made it onto my menu.)

Sounds like you have a plan there.

The French call this 'polyvalence'

 

HGV in France is complicated.

You'd need to pass a FIMO and to obtain that you need a good level of French.

Mechanics are always in demand though you'll need to be able to justify your qualifications and or experience to the Chambre de Metiers in order to register.

Treework isn't a regulated trade so easy to get into here.

Keep dreaming, you may get here.
