Why Is British Capital Fleeing the Island

In this report, our research team discusses why the British capital is moving out of the United Kingdom and the reasons behind British investors’ appetite for properties abroad.

For many, reasons for leaving the UK are far more profound than merely purchasing a home and making an investment abroad. British people are looking for a better lifestyle, both for themselves and their families. While achieving this by acquiring properties is an increasingly popular solution, attractive tax schemes offered by EU countries are getting a lot of attention
too.
