Relocation to Australia has risen immensely over the past decade, particularly for British people with young families who are looking for a higher quality of life, but with a familiar lifestyle and low adjustment and disruption. With a robust economy and a strong property market that has achieved nearly 7% capital growth year-on-year, it is understandable that many families find Australia appealing both from an investment and lifestyle perspective.  

However, immigration policies within Australia are well known for being both complex and strict. Unlike many of the European options within Mortimer International’s portfolio, citizenship cannot be secured simply through property acquisition. However, building a property development business can act as a method for securing a Business Talent Visa (subclass 132) which will grant renewable residency in Australia for a period of five years. This provides you and your family the ability to work whilst developing your business, as well as access to education and healthcare, and the potential to apply for citizenship after four years.
