Almost three-quarters (72.2%) of young Brits are considering moving abroad at some point, with over one in ten (12.3%) contemplating making the move within the next five years according to data released yesterday by the Fresh Start Show (13 to 15 May 2005 at Londons ExCeL Centre).

The survey reveals that the most popular destination for young professionals considering emigration is Australia (32.1%), followed by France (15.5%), America (11.9%) and New Zealand (10.7%).

Nick Clark, Managing Director of Homebuyer Events comments: "These statistics show the extent to which other countries are becoming more accessible with increasing numbers of people seriously considering moving abroad. More and more people are realising that their dream of life on sunnier shores is not only achievable, but a viable option in terms of living costs, property prices and quality of life."
