Fewer expats planning to come home

The number of expats planning to return to the UK has fallen during the past six months as people decide they are better off staying in their current country of residence, according to a new survey.

About 67 per cent of people living abroad said they had no plans to come back to the UK, 11 per cent more than when the same research was carried out six months ago, according to Lloyds TSB International.

Just 4 per cent of expats think they will return to the UK within the coming year, only 12 per cent of whom said they were doing so because they missed the UK lifestyle.
