Foreign Property Investments

Those thinking of investing in Brazilian property have been told that these desires are inevitable at this time of year.

A spokesperson for Joslin Rowe, a UK-based recruitment company in the UK, told ShelterOffshore that the shorter days, lack of sunshine and distance from summer are all drivers behind Britons seeking warmer climes overseas.

"Skilled workers are being drawn to extremely competitive overseas packages, many of which offer tax-free salaries, relocation costs and first-rate health care. These can prove very tempting to British workers, and even more so if the job is based in a country with a temperate climate," added Stephen Riley, director of IntaPeople.

The ShelterOffshore report added that recent graduates could also look abroad, as other countries are recruiting more than the UK is at the moment.

Another reason to invest in Brazilian property was highlighted earlier this week, with Lonely Planet picking the Latin American country out in its top destinations of 2011.
