Lifestyle and cost of living 'part of Australia's broad appeal'

Lifestyle and cost of living 'part of Australia's broad appeal'

Many expatriates living in Australia consider their standard of living better than what it was when they lived in their native country, an international property expert has claimed.

According to property magazine Shelter Offshore, expats from Britain, in particular, are attracted to Australia because of the relaxed way of life, cheaper living costs and more informal working environment that the country enjoys.

Rhiannon Davies, director of Shelter Offshore, said that foreign nationals are attracted, above all, by Australia's positive energy and added that this was in the interest of the country, as it attempts to attract skilled workers from Britain and Europe to relocate down under.

"Over the past five years there has been a 300 per cent increase in the number of Brits moving with 23,000 making the transition in 2006," she said.

"In terms of what is driving record numbers of Brits to Australia, it's about lifestyle, the cost of living, the weather and the broad opportunities that Australia seems to offer. The majority of Brits who are buying property in Australia are doing so to live in."

Ms Davis added that people coming from Britain have the added advantage that there is no language barrier, one of the main reasons that Australia is actively seeking highly skilled Brits.

According to RightmoveOverseas.co.uk, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane are the most popular destinations for expats from Britain, relocation (66 per cent), investment (15 per cent) and retirement (five per cent) the three main reasons for them to invest in Australian property.
