"We left 'unsafe' London after stabbing on our street - and we save £1k a month living in Spain"
A couple fled "unsafe" London and emigrated to Spain after after a stabbing on their street and say they save £1k-a-month living abroad and are now "living the dream". Tim Sunderland, 35, and his fiancé, Sally Biddal, 33, decided to leave their new build studio flat in Fulham, London, for Nerja, in Andalusia, southern Spain. The couple claim the cost-of-living crisis combined with a spate of local crimes in their area made their life in London "a chore". Having grown up in Hammersmith and Fulham, Londoner Tim felt "there was a lot of tension" in the capital - after his friend was mugged twice and lots of watches and phones in their area were stolen. Tim - who runs a multi asset brokerage Mitto Markets - decided to shut up shop in the UK in March - and now is a digital nomad. This new lifestyle means he can roam around different countries with access to the internet his only requirement. Tim is running his company from his laptop on a sunny terrace with a sea view and says he now has a "happy perspective on life". Tim can end up working from 8am until 9pm and wanted to make the most of "precious resources - time and happiness". He couple claim living in Spain saves them £1,000 every month - and so far, they've saved themselves £3k by moving out of London and Tim insists they have "absolutely no regrets". Tim said: "It doesn’t feel like a holiday from Monday to Friday. "Me and my fiancée both run very full-on businesses and we're entirely focussed on that. "Taking on such a heavy work commitment like we have, it’s become completely necessary to take more care of our mental health – and living near the sea in a sunny country and away from a major city, it helps us keep perspective on life. “You rarely ever hear sirens. "I have maybe heard two in the three months we’ve been here versus three every two hours in London. "The week we were packing up to leave, a kid was stabbed on my road. "I could see some of the blood stains on the pavement and thought: 'Thank God we’re off.' Tim added: "The cost of living is way cheaper here. “Eating and drinking out is noticeably more affordable. “Just the other night, I had a pint of local beer, large bottle of water and two tapas dishes which only came to €4.65” Tim owns his flat in Fulham, but if he was renting his house it would cost at least £2,300-a-month whereas a like for like holiday apartment in Nerja costs just £1,700-a-month. "Everything is cheaper here but rent especially so," he said. Due to Brexit and new …
