Approximately five and a half million people from the UK live abroad permanently. That is almost ten percent of the UK population. Reports indicate that over two hundred thousand British citizens emigrated from the UK last year. This amounts to one person every three minutes.

If you, like millions of Brits dream of moving abroad you may find it difficult to turn this into a reality. This is because the recent slump in the housing market can complicate the process.

The housing boom no longer exists and it can be difficult to sell your home. Many homeowners have reported waiting months for a prospective buyer to view their property.

In an ideal world, once you decide to start a new life abroad, you would buy your dream house, sell your existing home and start living your dream. The stark reality though, is that most people just don't have the capital until they first sell their home. You then have a problem as to where you will live in the meantime.

Imagine for the moment that you could sell your property, have the equity released to you to buy your new home in the sun and then stay living in your home until you have completed the purchase on your new home.

Furthermore you will remain as a tenant in your home, while you plan your move abroad, pack your furniture and belongings and organize the shipping. Wouldn't this just take all the stress out of your life and allow you to make your fresh start with complete peace of mind, knowing that nothing can fall through and no one will pull out at the last minute.

Let me tell you that this in not pure imagination and can easily be achieved. There is no need to put your house on the market with an estate agent and risk the ups and downs of a traditional house sale. No need to get stuck in the middle of a housing chain or have a buyer change his mind at the last minute. There is an alternative.

You can put the sale of your home in the hands of a house sales specialist, many of these, such as, A Quick Sale Direct in Leicester; operate throughout the whole of the UK and work to a timescale determined by you.
House sale specialists will not offer you the full value of your home, but they do not charge valuation fees or any fees like an estate agent does. You will not even have to pay for a solicitor. You will probably find that if you sit down and work out the total cost of these fees, plus the fact you will have less mortgage payments to meet, that there will be very little between what you actually receive when selling your home in this way, or with an estate agent.

A house sale specialist deals in cash sales and can make an offer on your house within a couple of days and guarantee a sale as quickly as seven days. This may be the solution that you are looking for.
