No accounting for taste

People looking to invest in property in Brazil should get the right account to suit their needs while they are abroad, according to an expert...

Simon Ripton, Joint Managing Director of Alliance and Leicester International, says finances are an important part of moving abroad, or investing in property overseas and that an account should be chosen which gives great returns.

"That means you can also take a little bit of Britain with you," he adds.

Other considerations include the financial stability of the economy and the employment opportunities, he says.

According to a poll conducted by Alliance and Leicester International, over half of expats believe their new country rates higher than the UK because of the better weather, closely followed by the better quality of life offered.

Of those surveyed, 53 per cent believed that there was a higher standard of living in their new country, just under half felt it was safer, a third said they had a higher income abroad and 36 per cent preferred the slower pace of life.
