Laid back lifestyle of Florida Keys 'attracting Brits'

Britons who have been drawn in by the laid back lifestyle of the Florida Keys might want to consider making an international money transfer to purchase property in the region.

According to Kate Burgess-Craddy, UK representative of the Florida Keys & Key West, the Keys have "a very different feel to other parts of Florida" and the US.

She explained that they are "extremely laid back, relaxed and welcoming to all comers".

In addition to this, the weather is "lovely and warm all year round" but temperatures are kept comfortable during the summer by the cool sea breezes.

The comments follow news that AirTran Airways has commended a nonstop daily jet service between Tampa, Florida and Key West.

Its launch coincides with the extension into a daily service of the British Airways' flight from London Gatwick to Tampa.

Using an international money transfer service to move dollars to the US can help people to access some of the most competitive currency exchange rates on the market, which could help give overseas property buyers more cash to invest in their new home.
