BRITISH EXPATS HEAD FOR FRANCE

Wednesday, 19 Mar 2008

France is proving to be a major hotspot for Britons who are seeking a home abroad, according to an expert.

The European country was highlighted as a popular location by Majorie Mansfield of financial advice group Siddalls.

Writing in the Telegraph, she said France is currently attracting a large number of people from the UK who want to live abroad full-time.

Ms Mansfield cited official figures showing that more than 200,000 British nationals now reside in the country on a permanent basis.

She commented: "France [is] continuing to be one of the most popular destinations, particularly for the 40-plus age groups."

Ms Mansfield added that country has become an appealing option for those who want to improve their quality of life.

According to currency specialist HiFX, accessibility improvements in recent months have triggered additional interest in the country among investors.

The organisation said the introduction of a high-speed rail link between London and Paris has prompted some people to consider living in France and commuting to their job in the UK.
