Give it a go for at least 6 months Steve, but DON'T burn your bridges back in the UK just yet...  especially as regards property and banking.

Your 'family' stuff,  and location in the Phils relative to them, only you can decide.  All our situations are different.

My wife's family are close by, and are lovely people who probably give more than they take. I feel loved and 'included' by them. Other families can of course be very different.

How your wife will feel about giving up her new (considerably wealthier ?) life in the UK is something else to consider. 

 

I'd certainly say that whatever you do, make sure you keep at least 1 UK bank account going indefinitely as it can be difficult to open one once you've left.  Try to find out which banks allow you to maintain your account even if you're abroad. 

If you're doing things right, life in the Philippines should be 'wealthier' than in the UK though?

I am with Nat west and they know that I have been here since 2011, I have not had any major problems with them.
