Moving abroad easier with Eurostar
24 October 2009
Brits looking to move abroad, but planning to stay in close touch with the UK, have been encouraged by the Eurostar rail links to choose parts of Europe with easy access to the service, it has been stated in the papers.
The Times found that experts in overseas property had noted how the ease of travel had encouraged people to target certain areas of France, Germany and the Low Countries.
Sales manager for international property firm Assetz Martin Sadler told the Times that this includes areas of France outside the north, due to the links between the Eurostar and other high-speed railways.
"Eurostar’s connection to the TGV has opened up areas of the south-west of France, which previously had been hard to get to," he said.
Such access can help those who wish to enjoy living abroad while being able to return to the UK frequently either for business or pleasure.
