France recommended to prospective migrants

British people who are considering a move abroad have been encouraged to set up home in France.

Shelter Offshore said relocating to the European country could offer a number of financial benefits, as living costs are quite low in comparison with Britain.

In addition, the online portal stated that the price of property in France is also relatively cheap, as values are "a fraction" of those in the UK.

The website said this could allow British nationals some respite from domestic economic problems, such as rising inflation, the credit crunch and the faltering housing market.

Shelter Offshore commented: "Living in France really costs less than living in the UK despite the euro's strength against the pound."

The country was also praised for offering comparable living standards, which means people can "live the same life for less".

This comes after Marjorie Mansfield of financial advice group Siddalls stated that the country is currently one of the most popular destinations for British expats.

Speaking to the Telegraph, she said a growing number of people from the UK are setting up in France every year.
