Australia popular with British migrants

Britons who want to live abroad could find Australia a good place to live, according to property experts.

ShelterOffshore.com stated that the country is currently very popular with migrants from the UK, as it offers both lifestyle and financial benefits.

However, the website recommended that people research the market thoroughly before committing to a move.

"It can take time to get through the emigration process and this time can be well spent researching the market in Australia," it commented.

ShelterOffshore.com added that a third of Britons who moved abroad in 2006 moved to Australia and New Zealand.

This, it stated, means that there are large expat communities in many parts of the country.

The comments follow figures from HiFX which revealed a recent surge of interest in buying property in Australia.

According to the firm, the country was the subject of ten per cent of the enquiries it received into moving abroad last month.
