Description of Australia
Australia likes to describe itself as a ‘land of plenty’ and this is certainly no boast. Coral reefs, endless beaches, lofty mountains and burning deserts with fascinating natural rock formations contrast with bustling towns and cosmopolitan cities. Frequently ranked as one of the countries with the highest quality of life in the world, it is a dream destination for expats. Indeed, Australia ranks just below Spain and France as one of the main targets for British buyers looking to retire in the sun. The superb climate encourages an outdoor lifestyle; the cuisine is superb and varied, and the local wines are rightly celebrated all over the world. Investors interested in what is a well developed rental market will also note Australia’s stable economy and its growing property prices, partly driven by demand from overseas.
