Now is the time to move overseas for the Brits

NOW'S THE TIME TO MOVE OVERSEAS

The great British workforce is returning from the holiday season, refreshed and rearing to get back to work, so it’s only natural that our thoughts are turning towards making those lingering nightcaps gazing out over the Med into a daily, rather than annual, treat. The property shows are starting, and there’s no better time to take the plunge and start making your dream of escaping overseas a reality.

Children are heading off to university, so many parents are looking forward to enjoying their own time a little more. You might even think about downsizing – swapping an empty nest for a petite apartment and swapping the gardening for golf practice, or you might prefer to make the most of cheaper real estate to give yourself some more space.

The recent security alerts at UK airports and continued restrictions on cabin baggage are slowing the passage of travellers leaving the country. There are even accusations of cheating in Test Cricket – the world truly has gone mad!

The nights are drawing in already, and it’s only just September! The morning air has a definite chill and wind and rain are plaguing the nation. Driving home on the M25 late at night this week, one of the New Skys staff found themselves surrounded by thick fog!

It’s no wonder that over 350,000 people leave these shores every year, and once they’ve settled in the sun, very few would swap their new lives overseas - even for a tin of baked beans, reading The Times on the day it’s printed and the evening mug of Horlicks.

As we move into the autumn, overseas property exhibitions all over the UK are showing off new development launches, while seminars and presentations are explaining how to make the move. The Internet, of course, is often the first place these new properties appear, and you can start finding your property paradise from the comfort of your living room, or sneak a peek at our great range of sun-soaked locations while the boss isn’t looking!

If you start searching now, and think seriously about your financial options, it’s not at all unrealistic to expect to move into new property overseas by summer 2007.
