You should speak to the Brazilian Consulate in London. You can apply for permanencia there. It is more expensive, but will take much less time, than applying once in Brazil. (and when applying in Brazil, a surprise home visit is also included, which some prefer to avoid)
You should also prepare to take full advantage of a window you will have with your permanencia to ship personal items tax free.
You might want to take a look at the forum on the expat site www.gringoes.com, whose members regularly discuss a lot of the questions you have posed, and more. (overlook some of the trolls/idiots/provocateurs who post, though)
Best wishes for a happy life in Brazil.

Expertise
Drawing on my personal travel experience in Brazil (more than a decade's worth), as well as time spent living in Brazil (especially Salvador, Bahia) and knowledge of the Brazilian community in the U.S., I can help with most questions concerning travel, specific destinations, paperwork for moving, marriage or business, and more. I enjoy helping people get the most from their stay in Brazil. I'd be happy to hear from you.
Experience
I have spent considerable time in Brazil, living and travelling, over more than a decade. I have travelled widely throughout much of Brazil, sometimes solo and sometimes with Brazilian friends and relatives, and am familiar with many destinations.
I have done translation and interpretation, and also have taught ESL.
Publications
I write for a number of travel forums, blogs and publications concerning Brazil.
