British expat children have better quality of life, survey suggests
The vast majority of British expats believe that their children have a better quality of life since they moved abroad, according to a recent survey.
Some 80% of UK expats believe their children’s life is better and 85% say they intend to stay living abroad for the foreseeable future, the latest research from currency specialists Moneycorp shows.

However, it’s not all easy living for UK expats as more than 50% report their cost of living has increased since moving overseas. One in four of the expats surveyed live in France where food and petrol prices have increased significantly over the last year or so.
Missing family is also a cause for concern, with nearly half, 44%), saying they are visited less frequently by their family since the financial downturn while 36% visit their family in Britain less than once a year.
‘UK expats face a dilemma. Although many are happy overseas and enjoying a better quality of life, they are suffering from a rise in the cost of living, which is forcing some to return home. This isn’t helped by fluctuating exchange rates as the pound has lost value against many major currencies of late, especially the Australian dollar, meaning those transferring money from the UK are seeing their funds diminish,’ said Moneycorp private client manager David Kerns.
