The number of Britons opting to pack up and head 'Down Under' for a new life has hit a record high, a new study has revealed.
New
research carried out by the removals firm Allied Pickfords found that Australia is now beating traditional favourites such as Cyprus and Spain when it comes to attracting
Brits looking for a new start.
Notably, as well as the better weather and higher quality of life, many are now making the move for career purposes, showing that it is not just retirees who are leaving these shores.
The removals firm concluded: "People are prepared to consider all parts of the globe as their
home."
The comments come soon after the currency exchange service HiFX revealed that it had seen a ten per cent increase in the number of inquiries it has had with regards to buying a property in Australia.
Those heading to the sun for a new start may want to leave some of their possessions in the
UK and could therefore benefit from
secure storage facilities.
