Britons are desperate to move abroad – Report from Robinsons
A new survey has revealed that young Britons are keen to escape overseas for more opportunities, better living standards and cheaper taxation. The survey commissioned by Foreign Currency Direct found that 58 per cent would go abroad for a better work life balance than what they can achieve in the UK.
Over twelve hundred British workers across the UK were surveyed to determine how large a percentage of the British population is dissatisfied with their life in the UK, and would they contemplate escaping this ‘great’ nation of ours for a new life elsewhere.
Almost a quarter of the twelve hundred British workforce questioned by the survey are already actively considering moving abroad within the next two year, to live and work somewhere where they can have better quality of life potentially, where they can enjoy the expat tax advantages potentially available to them, and where they can perhaps even enjoy cheaper living costs.
And the largest numbers of those actively planning an escape were in the 18-30 brackets. As a result of the hike of tax to 50 per cent, 31 per cent of those surveyed declared that they would go abroad to seek out better taxation advantages. In fact, out of the over 60’s age group surveyed, 40 per cent advised that they would contemplate moving abroad to save tax on their pension payments.

The Australian Government, who has seen a record number of immigrants enter the country during the 2008/09 year, may plan to reduce its intake target figure for the coming migration year. With the ongoing global economic crisis in full flow, Australia is set to drop the number of immigrants into the country as a result of the economic circumstances.
The countries immigration minister Chris Evans said, “"It is fair to say that we expect the demand in the economy for labour to reduce. As it is a programme very much linked to the demand for labour, we expect to run a smaller programme,"
The changes to the immigration system has not yet been finalised but is expected that the Government will take a more targeted approach in the coming years. In recent months, increased emphasis has already been placed on attracting applicants with employer or state sponsorship, and those with skills on the Critical Skills Lost, which was implemented at the start of this year.

Robinsons Removals – Brits flee to New Zealand
The number of Brits travelling to New Zealand has soared in the past year, with more than 20 per cent flocking to the country due to the rise in unemployment and rising taxes in the UK.
The Budget this year has seen super tax rise to 50 per cent and unemployment levels at their highest since Labour came in to power in 1997, which has led disillusioned Brits to seek a better life overseas. It has been predicted that Switzerland will attract many skilled high-earners as they are the one’s who will be feeling the crunch of the new super tax rate, the highest it has been since the 1970s.
New Zealand, over the past year has enjoyed a high increase of British citizens moving to the country, and the sole reason doesn’t just stand on the tax avoidance. During the last 12 months, around 83,000 people migrated to the land most famous for its lamb and kiwis, up from 6,900 in the previous year.
In addition to this, the weakening of the sterling against the euro is making Brits want to migrate further afield. Andrew Lockheart, of Immigration New Zealand, said, “The affects of the recession appear to have spurred a lot of people into taking the plunge and making a permanent move abroad.
“There is still a huge variety of opportunities available for skilled British workers who are keen to move to New Zealand, from traditional occupations such as doctors, teachers, nurses, to more unusual skills such as sky diving instructors and animators.”
Property over in New Zealand has dropped 10 per cent since 2007, making it cheaper than properties in the UK. Renting is also cheaper in New Zealand, plus the largest amount people can be taxed in New Zealand is 39 per cent. There are so many advantages to moving abroad, yet the hard work is sorting out all the paperwork, planning and packing that often the hard work doesn’t seem worthwhile. One of the most tedious tasks when moving abroad is the packing of all your personal belongings and shipping it abroad.

Choose a ‘bonded’ removals firm for international moves says Robinsons
Choose a ‘bonded’ removals firm for international moves says Robinsons
People planning to emigrate are being urged to protect themselves from disaster if their removals company goes bust mid-move by choosing a firm with British Association of Removers’ (BAR) overseas bonding.
According to the UK’s leading overseas removals specialist Robinsons International, few people are aware of the financial bonding scheme, which works in a similar way to the better-known ABTA protection for holidays by making sure customers don’t suffer if their removals company goes into liquidation.
But by choosing a bonded company like Robinsons, they can ensure that their payments – which are always made in full, in advance for [international moves|http://www.robinsons-intl.com] – are protected. It also means that if a company goes under while their goods are in transit, arrangements will be made for the move to be completed.
Ian Brown, Robinsons’ Head of International Moving, said: “One of the biggest things people should be thinking about when planning a move is protecting themselves against anything going wrong with the removals company they use, especially in the current economic climate. If the company goes bust mid-move and they have not provided a financial risk guarantee, the customer may lose their money. If their goods happen to be in transit, they will also have to pay someone else to continue their removals – if their goods can be recovered, that is."
“There are more than 6,000 moving companies in the UK, but fewer than 100 offer this advance payment guarantee. Firms may say they are members of the British Association of Removers, but our message to people who are moving abroad is that they should also check that the company they use is a member of BAR’s overseas group.”
Robinsons has also warned that the credit crunch is driving some smaller firms to take bookings for international removals, when they normally wouldn’t, and then bring in a second company to help.
“The company that gives the quote won’t necessarily administer the removal and that means customers might unwittingly be using a removals firm that doesn’t have the overseas financial protection they need,” adds Ian Brown.
To become a member of the overseas group, removals companies have to meet strict standards and undergo regular inspections. Robinsons International is a member of BAR and a founder member of the internationally recognised industry associations OMNI and FIDI.
The company specialises in worldwide and European removals and relocations, as well as UK moves. Robinsons does everything from residential moves to business moves and corporate relocation, as well as shipping antiques and new furniture all over the world.
The comprehensive service includes specialist packing, storage and transporting and the firm’s website, www.robinsons-intl.com, is a mine of information for anyone considering a move.
There are tips for moving with children and pets, advice on how to de-clutter before a move and checklists for the countdown to a UK or worldwide relocation.

International removals ‘booming’ say relocation specialists Robinsons
International removals ‘booming’ say relocation specialists Robinsons
International removals are continuing to boom despite a decline in the housing market here in the UK, according to relocation specialists Robinsons.
The firm, one of the UK’s leading experts in house moves and corporate relocations, says the number of people seeking to emigrate has grown steadily in recent years, continuing to make international removals one of the most popular services it offers. Ian Brown, Robinson’s Head of International Moving, said: “International removals has been a big part of our business for the last 40 years and we have noticed an increase in growth particularly over the last five or six years.
“We’re still getting a large number of inquiries from people who are looking to move overseas, even though the housing market is slow here. Australia has always been the most popular destination, closely followed by Canada and New Zealand.
“People think it’s a big upheaval to move abroad, but from a removals point of view it isn’t much different to moving house in the UK. We simply pack people’s furniture and belongings in shipping container and then we have partners worldwide who unload and deliver at the other side.”
To reflect the growing interest in moving abroad, Robinsons have put a new checklist on their website, http://www.robinsons-intl.com/, for anyone who is planning to emigrate.
The guide, called Your route to a new life, counts down from 18 months, to 12 months, six months, three months and then one month before the move. It recommends going on a fact finding trip and includes tips on paperwork that needs to be completed, medicals and other checks and sorting out finances.
Some of the more unusual tips include:
• Helping children get to know pupils in their destination country by arranging an online chat through the schools
• Cleaning outdoor furniture ready for removal, as any items covered in soil are not allowed through customs
• Setting up social networking accounts to stay in touch with friends and family after the move.
Robinsons’ website also features country guides for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA and South Africa, frequently asked questions and customs information. All emigrating clients get their own international move manager who co-ordinates the whole moving process and also advises on everything from the tax system in the new destination to the latest customs regulations.
Prices vary depending on destination and level of service, but a typical move from a three bed roomed home in the UK to Australia with Robinsons would cost between £3,000 and £4,000, including the packing and wrapping and all materials, loading, customs, shipping, delivery and unwrapping and unpacking at the final destination.
Robinsons International is a private, family owned business that was established more than 100 years ago and now has six bases around the UK. It handles home and business moves within the UK, Europe and worldwide, including corporate relocation into and out of the UK.
The company also offers a range of specialist shipping services, as well as long and short term storage.
