More people than ever are quitting the UK in search of a better life

abroad. Experts say the lure of a sunnier climate, combined with a

discontent with home life and the high cost of owning a property in

Britain, is causing people to leave in their thousands.

Many of these 'expatriates' head for countries such as France or

Spain, where the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle is a sharp

contrast to the hectic pace in crowded Britain. But some are

choosing far-flung destinations such as America, Australia, and New

Zealand.

Traditionally, the majority of those who have chosen to live

abroad have been people of retirement age. These people are often

more able to afford a foreign home and are likely to have become

fed up with life in Britain, so look to find a place in the sun where

they can spend their golden years. But some of the new generation

of expatriates are younger people, or families, in search of a better

quality of life.

However, recent research has found that around 41% of Britons

who moved abroad to start a new life were back in the UK within 12

months. Just under a third of people who relocated said they were

happy and planned to stay where they were for the foreseeable

future, while the rest said they were either still trying to settle in or

that they divided their time between the UK and their new home.

The research found that many people who move abroad looking

for a better quality of life often find their new situation more

difficult than life at home. The main reason people gave for

returning was that they missed family and friends. For some it was

financial worries or problems getting a job that drove them home.

Others came back to Britain after being unable to overcome

language and cultural difficulties.
