Three ideal destinations for buying abroad

UK buyers are starting to branch out from the expat favourites such as France and Florida. We bring you the best new locations with that rare combination of good value, good potential and a pleasant lifestyle.

When it comes to investing in property abroad, the top destinations for British expats are France, Spain and the United States. There are 200,000 Britons in France, and an astonishing 761,000 have migrated to Spain. But there's a whole wide world out there to choose from, and we're becoming an increasingly adventurous bunch. As Rupert Bates puts it in The Daily Telegraph: "Buying abroad used to be a question of whether the sun shone, where to find all-day English breakfasts and if the country had an extradition treaty should the authorities track you down. Today it is more complicated." A recent article in The Guardian shows just how much more complicated choosing where to live abroad has become: there are UK expats living in countries ranging from North Korea to Tonga. If you're among those tempted to sell up here and make a new life for yourself abroad, here's a look at three destinations that still offer that all-too-rare combination of good value, good potential, and most importantly a pleasant lifestyle.
