New research from foreign currency specialist Foreign Currency Direct (FCD), which questions over 2,000 people each quarter on their appetite to buy a property abroad, reveals that one in two Brits would like to either move abroad permanently or buy a holiday home abroad the highest proportion since FCD began its research nine months ago.

Foreign Currency Direct questioned Brits on how they feel during the winter months and what they would like to do to combat their winter blues. While many respondents would opt for the short-term solution of heading off on holiday, over a quarter of the population would take the radical step of permanently moving to a country with a warm climate. Meanwhile, 26 per cent would like the best of both worlds by buying a holiday home abroad.

In all, 94 per cent of people have winter gripes. These include: having to both leave for work and return home in the dark, Christmas starting in October the onslaught of colds and flu and the cold, wet weather.
Peter S. Ellis, Chief Executive of Foreign Currency Direct, said: We Brits love to moan about the weather but the fact that over half of the population are considering either permanently moving abroad, or buying a holiday home is staggering.
By using a reputable foreign currency provider those people who will take the plunge and move abroad this winter will be guaranteed to get the best deal on their money. As more and more Britons Bail Out of the UK in search of a more pleasant winter we can help to knock thousands of pounds off of the cost of buying abroad: meaning more money in the pot for Christmas parties in the sun!
