Overseas investment could soar as Brits look to emigrate

Overseas investment could reach a new high as research shows that a third of Britons are hoping to head off into the sun by the end of 2020.

The results of the survey, conducted by the experience day website intotheblue.co.uk, found that as many as 34 per cent of Brits were keen to emigrate within the next decade, with 86 per cent of them looking to move to a warmer climate and 18 per cent looking to reduce their cost of living.

Both factors make Turkey an ideal destination for those wanting to escape the rigour of life in Britain, with the strength of the GBP against the Turkish Lira combined with its Mediterranean climate appearing to tick the right boxes for potential investors.

Commenting on the results, Rob Holmes, ecommerce and marketing manger of Intotheblue.co.uk, said: "This is interesting because it shows that the public are fed up and want to experience something different."

The likelihood of Turkey's acceptance into the EU has made it an attractive option for many tourists and property investors.
