I've been flying control line aircraft for 57 years and RC aircraft for over 35 years and teaching noobies to fly for just about as long. I've been around long enough to know what I'm talking about.
Now you come up and tell us that you are unemployed and looking for another house (probably evicted). Man, you need to get your priorities in line before you go spending money of toy airplanes.
"I do want to join a club, but I am in the middle of moving job and house at the moment, so no clear idea of where I will end up, and certainly no flying time ATM."
I've seen a million people like you, don't get into this hobby if you can't afford it.
