Places that South African expats are choosing

If your current residence is Kathorus, and you are looking to list your property for sale in the East Rand to jet overseas and invest in property abroad, then this article will help you to determine which destinations hold more appeal to you.

Purchasing property overseas as a South African can be a daunting exercise especially if you are converting your rands; this is why it is important to remember that once you have relocated you will be earning the currency of your country of choice.

The UK is certainly one of the most popular choices for South Africans. It currently has around 210 000 South Africans living in the country, so the UK would most definitely feel like a home away from home. As popular as the UK is for most South Africans that are relocating, investing in property can be a very costly exercise. The possibility of finding property a little further out of the city centre might yield more profitable results and with the commute being affordable, reliable and easily accessible, this might be the best option for you. Most Londoners choose to invest in smaller dwellings rather than larger homes.

Another popular destinations amongst South Africans is Australia. It is said that the culture is very similar to that of South Africa. It might be appealing to want to live in the lively city of Sydney, with all it has to offer, but property in this city does not come cheap so it is advisable to do some research into the property market a little further out of the city.

It is no wonder that the USA finds itself on this list too, with destinations such as Florida and California having climates very similar to that of South Africa, so it is easy to see why this destination is a favourite. As the cost of property for sale in the USA can be very costly indeed, it is surprising that one of the most affordable places to find property for sale in the states is Florida and Miami.
