New research shows that the vast majority of British expatriates claim that moving abroad has given their children a better quality of life since relocation abroad.

The survey by BritishExpats.com has found that as many as 80 per cent of all expats abroad believe their children are better off living abroad. Additionally the survey found that 85 per cent of those who have relocated abroad hope to continue living abroad for the near future.

Interestingly, a quarter of all British expatriates would consider moving to another overseas country before returning to the UK.

Figures from Post Office International Payments show that Australia, with its laidback lifestyle, enviable climate and good infrastructure is the ideal place to move to for the majority of people from the UK.

21 per cent of people say they would most like to live or work in Australia, followed by the United States of America (18 per cent) and Canada (14 per cent). Spain came in fourth place (10 per cent) and was also the highest placed country where English isn't the first language.

Moving abroad can present itself with numerous challenges, particularly when you are moving abroad with your family, perhaps as part of a corporate relocation.

When it comes to planning the move of employees, both the employee and the company relocating them prefer to use the services of a specialist relocation agent.

Not only will a relocation agent be able to help you with everything from tax, housing, storage and shipment issues, but they can also help find suitable schools for children, too.

Just some of the services available include an accompanied visit, selection, admission and on-going support and education system overview.
