Article Date : 10 December 2007

Spain is proving to be a highly popular destination among Britons who want to emigrate overseas, according to new research.

UKForex revealed that the country was highly rated by expatriates who had set up home there on a permanent basis, YourMortgage reports.

More than nine out of ten people said they were happy living in Spain, more than the proportion who expressed satisfaction about residing in Canada and New Zealand.

The findings were welcomed by Chris Humphrey, general manager of UKForex, who said that it was "good to see" that the majority of expats believed they had made the right decision.

He added that the number of people emigrating from the UK was likely to increase during the next few years.

This comes after data from the Office for National Statistics showed that the number of UK citizens opting to move abroad permanently reached record levels last year, with 207,000 people leaving the country.
