Retiring abroad is no longer just a dream!

Almost a million Britons already draw their state pensions abroad, and it is predicted that by 2010, one in eight British over-55s will be living abroad. By 2020 this could have grown to one in five living overseas.

For those people willing to grasp the nettle it is a fantastic reality and an opportunity to live out your retirement years in a superb climate away from the rip-off culture, increasing crime and wet, grey winters of the UK!

For many, the decision to retire abroad is partly a financial one, as stock market-based investments under-perform and the property boom leaves so many people sitting on a goldmine.

In addition, the cost of living in most of the popular retirement destinations abroad is lower than in Britain – a big advantage if your pension brings home rather less bacon than you had hoped.

Growing evidence of the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet and a more laid-back way of life add to an increasing sense that southern Europe’s natural resources can be a boon to those seeking to prolong their lives. Heart disease rates, for example, are considerably lower in Italy than in the UK.

The vast majority of Britons buying retirement property abroad still head for Spain and France, with Italy and Portugal in the second rank. But overseas property experts have identified a widening interest in a host of other countries as the European Union expands and affordable global travel throws open far-flung destinations to the more adventurous.

Twenty years ago, Egypt and Morocco were footnotes on the list of favourite holiday destinations. Now millions of tourists visit every year with increasingly more people going on to buy a home there with a view to their retirement. Egypt and Morocco have plenty to offer the retiree - especially while they remain relatively unspoilt - property prices and the cost of living are both low.
