Sydney came a close second with Melbourne ranking third.

New Zealand is ranked as the second most popular relocation destination, up by 11.5% from last year, with the United States a close third place. Canada is in fourth place achieving six per cent of all overseas movers.

"The monitor revealed that whilst Australia remains the firm relocation favourite, Bulgaria received twice as many UK expatriations as before, and almost as many people to United Arab Emirates as to France, which shows just how the international property market is changing. Organising relocations to 104 countries around the world, from Argentina to Zambia, the Move Monitor reveals that people are prepared to consider all parts of the globe as their home."
