Read some of the stories of people who have done what you are planning, didn't work out for most of them.
Because they made lots of assumptions:
Sterling would remain at the same exchange rate
Inflations would not increase higher than their pensions
Property would increase in value abroad at the same rate as the UK.
They would never want to come back to the UK.
Overseas property would be easy to sell, at a higher price than the bought it at and they could recover the cost of the ridiculous over-spend on decorating, pool, BBQ etc.
I think it's funny that people have these ideas on how they are going to spend the rest of their life, without any research.
