Scottish woman advises renting before relocating abroad

Jacqui Lockhart, a Scottish woman, shared her experience of moving to Spain after appearing on the TV show A Place In The Sun in 2017. She was searching for a holiday home in Costa Blanca and purchased a property for £49,000 in the town of Almoradi. Eight years later, Jacqui has moved to Spain permanently, is enjoying her new life, and feels healthier. Jacqui has expressed regret about not making the move sooner. She mentioned that living in the UK affected her health negatively, but since moving to Spain, she has felt better and more active. She enjoys outdoor activities like cycling and spending time at the beach with friends. Jacqui also offered some advice to others considering relocating abroad. She suggests renting first to get a feel for the area. Due to Brexit, Brits can only rent in Spain for three months at a time, making it essential to explore the town before buying. She recently reflected on her journey and how a change in scenery has positively impacted her well-being. Jacqui will appear in an upcoming special episode of A Place In The Sun, where the show revisits past participants to see how their lives have changed.
