Why do People Move to Spain?

Moving overseas to start a new life is life-changing, and a big decision that individuals and families make in their thousands every year. There are numerous reasons why people make such a big decision, and if it’s down to work or professional grounds, it is normally to have a better lifestyle or for family reasons.

In this blog, Greens Removals analyse what makes people opt for international removals to Spain, and why the country is such a popular moving destination for Brits in particular.

It's A Familiar Holiday Destination

Many British people holiday in Spain, and it has become one of the most popular destinations for us over the years, with many returning time and time again. One of the main reasons for this is because it is one of the closest countries to home to enjoy a summer holiday in the sunshine, with the weather virtually guaranteed to be nice and warm. Spain is also only a short flight away, so getting there and back couldn’t be much easier or quicker.

Spain is also a country that caters for the holidaying Brit and provides a lot of what we are accustomed to in our own country and are already familiar with it. It’s therefore quite understandable that the British are drawn towards it, and it has therefore become a popular choice of destination for those who take the plunge and decide to emigrate.

Spain offers a more laid-back and relaxing lifestyle, and after years of working in the UK with the rain and cold of winter, it is little wonder so many people see it as offering everything they are looking for in later life.

The Property Price Plusses

Typically, Spain is known to be popular for the retiring Brit partly because property is inexpensive compared to property in the UK. This allows many people to sell up and buy a lot for their ‘pound note’ so they can upgrade to a bigger and better property. Some may buy something similar to their existing home (or smaller); this will allow them to take equity out of the sale of their UK home to put into their money pot to help fund their new lifestyle choices.

It's Not Too Far Away

Spain is not just a new home for those retiring, and many young families opt for a new life in the sun with everything it offers for them and their children. Being just a short flight away from home often makes this an easier destination for young families to move to because they can have family and friends visit them in their new home, or they can easily visit their loved ones back in the UK.

It is easier, quicker, and less expensive than it would be, for example, if they were many thousands of miles away in other popular places for Brits like Australia, New Zealand or Canada.
