Greetings,
I was born in Kingslynn and was adopted out to an American Air Force family when I was 4. I always felt like a fish out of water here in the U.S.. I also promised myself that I would return to the U.K. before I died. Well, it seems that time is approaching for me.
My question for all you fine folks out there is approx. how much $ would I need to set up a modest life over there. I was hoping to find a flat to share or a room to rent in the Kingslynn area. Just a ballpark figure or a wild guess would be fine because I really have no idea.
Also, seeing as I have dual citzenship would applying for a British passport be more appropriate, or an American passport? Mind you I don't intend returning to the U.S.
Thanks so much in advance. I hope to do a lot more reading on here as time and health allows.

As you are a Brit wishing to take up residency in the UK you need to enter the UK using a UK passport...if you were just visiting you could enter using a US PP. Anytime you wish to re-enter the US you must enter the US using a US PP...even for a brief visit.

Alright. Thank you! That sorts that out. One step closer.......

hope you're going to enjoy some of the uk before you die

welcome to BE buzzkill, i don't know kingslynn so am no use regarding prices for that area. why not google kingslynn uk and see what that pulls up, maybe it'll give you the local rag mag website for rentals/house prices and etate agents etc.

tons of good luck

When all else fails....follow instructions. Perhaps I will learn that one soon. This place has some great info posted! Thank you for the suggestion though, I will try that as well. As far as how much time I've got is up in the air. My doctors tried to put it gently when they said more chemo would do more harm then good at this point. So we shall see. We've all gotta go sometime.
This is a little sooner then I would like but then again I'm not running things.
Thanks again for your reply.

Terrible news that you have the cancer. But spending your last days on the face of the earth in the UK is missing a lot of opportunities of being in places much calmer, less expensive and with a less oppressed population.

Hi,

For house prices and rental costs I recommend you looking at the rightmove website that has current properties for sale or rent in most if not all of the UK.

Thanks.......that's perfect!

I am very sorry to hear what your doctors have told you. Such a pity you will be returning home in such sad circumstances. I wish you all the best.

another good website for properties that have been reduced....

www.propertysnake.co.uk

That's your opinion, we are all different and what's "One mans beauty" etc....Buzzkill hopefully you will be where you want to be when the time comes....all the best to you, try finding the "local" paper's on line as they might be advertise "room share/house share" as well as property.....
All the very best of wishes to you....take care...

Many thanks for all your kind words and helpful help.
I have also found a ton of useful information here. So glad to have found you folks. "There's no place like home, There's no place like home....."

Hi there,
I moved to Australia from Downham Market (village just outside Kings Lynn) 3 yrs ago. The local paper has lots of properties advertised in it and is available online www.lynnnews.co.uk

I hope this helps,
