Published by Zeb BhamNew Zealand's relaxed pace of life makes it a popular destination for Britons looking to set up roots overseas, according to the country's tourism board.Gregg Anderson, general manager of long-haul markets for Tourism New Zealand, pointed to research showing that the lifestyle the country affords is the strongest influencing factor for Brits deciding to emigrate to the country.He added that while the New Zealand's major cities such as Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Nelson are as popular as ever among Britons, there is also a sizable contingent moving to places like Hawke's Bay and Wanaka, which promise a slower pace of life.For those attracted by the idea of buying property in New Zealand, Mr Anderson advised: "Visit New Zealand for a holiday first and use the trip to research work and lifestyle opportunities."And for those who do decide to buy, researching foreign property mortgages thoroughly may pay dividends.For more information on purchasing currency for regular or one-off payments, visit our Personal FX site.
