Many people are choosing to move abroad as they are unhappy with their lifestyle in the UK.

Issues such as high property values and tax payments were cited by Paul Beasley, editor of Emigrate magazine, as two of the main reasons for people opting to live overseas.

Speaking to Homes Worldwide, Mr Beasley added that other countries were also widely seen to offer a number of other lifestyle benefits, such as better weather and natural surroundings.

He commented: "People just feel that life in Britain is becoming more stressful, more difficult."

Mr Beasley went on to highlight the effect that moving to a foreign country could have on a person's social standing.

He said that experiencing life in a different culture gave people a sense of "social kudos".

The comments follow a study by UKForex which revealed that Spain was a very popular destination among emigrating Britons.

Research by the organisation found that the country was highly rated by expatriates who had set up home there on a permanent basis.
