'We swapped 'unsafe' UK for sunny Spain and now save £1,000 a month'

A couple say they're "living the dream" and saving £1,000 a month after ditching the UK for Spain.

Tim Sunderland, 35, and his fiancé, Sally Biddall, 33, decided to leave their new build studio flat in Fulham, London, for Nerja, in Andalusia, southern Spain following a stabbing on their street.

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.
