I considered NZ as well but the weather looks pretty terrible in NZ (maybe slightly better than the UK), windy and rainy. House prices weren't too bad but quality wise they weren't great. I can't say they were much worse from London tbh (but it may be more related to how everything is expensive in London, outside of London house quality is way better). Also taxes are pretty bad. I'm completely appalled at how they're dealing with COVID so I'm glad I kept away from NZ and AU

Not sure about the weather comparison with the UK - its a lot wetter but the weather is more tropical (ie we get the rain in massive downpours, not drizzle). House prices are very very high relative to wages and the quality is deeply average. Comparing house prices to London is not very logical, as the wages are nowhere near the same. Dealing with covid - compare the death rate to pretty much anywhere. That was the point and what we wanted.
