NEW FOR 2026 – UK Lifestyle Zone!
Thinking about buying a place in the sun but not quite ready to cut ties with the UK? The new UK Lifestyle Zone at A Place in the Sun Live Birmingham (18-20 September) is designed for exactly that mindset: people who want the freedom of overseas living with the comfort of a base back home.
At the UK Lifestyle Zone, you can explore both sides of your journey in one place. It’s where you can discover how to release equity, downsize and simplify your UK living; to then take the next step with confidence towards buying abroad.
Why keep a UK base when moving overseas?
For those relocating or buying abroad, having a UK bolt-hole offers clear advantages:
Flexibility and reassurance
Returning to the UK is easy and stress-free; ideal for family visits, seasonal stays, or simply a change of pace.
Lower costs and less upkeep
Park homes typically require less maintenance and investment than traditional second homes.
Community and lifestyle
Many parks offer welcoming communities and managed environments, appealing to both families and retirees.
Income potential
With UK travel trends favouring shorter, more frequent breaks, holiday letting can provide an additional revenue stream.
Balance and freedom
Enjoy the benefits of life abroad while keeping a comfortable and familiar base in the UK.
Meet the Companies
Come and chat to our experts and gain clarity, guidance and the confidence to structure your dream of owning a property or relocating whilst staying connected to the UK.
