Quality of life is becoming far more important to people. Finding a balance between work and leisure can be challenging, and few places combine the natural beauty of coast and country with the hustle and bustle of city living.

This is exactly what sets Jersey apart; a superior quality of life, a top-rated business environment and tax rates among the lowest in Europe. Strategically located between the UK and Europe, Jersey offers clean and pure air, coastal walks and unspoilt beaches while not sacrificing on its business networks.

With its tax friendly status and thriving business community, Harry Trower, Director of Broadlands, explains why Jersey is the ideal place to put down roots “Jersey has some of the best and highly developed communications network with island wide gigabit, 4G connectivity and excellent access to world-class professional service providers,” he explains “Major financial centres are only a short flight away and commuting doesn’t cost you hours with excellent travel links to major European and UK cities. Jersey’s airport and private airfield is very accessible and you can be home in minutes to enjoy the island’s relaxed pace of life.”

In addition, the entry-level taxation threshold stands at £145,000 per annum (plus 1% on all income over £725,000) with no capital gains tax, inheritance tax and many other financial benefits to take advantage of. But it’s not all about the fiscal considerations. The island has some of the finest recreation amenities anywhere in Europe, with Michelin-starred restaurants sitting alongside Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and two championship links golf courses that overlook the Atlantic Ocean.

These perks make Jersey the ideal spot for property investment, with a variety of options from contemporary beach homes, traditional granite country mansions and spacious modern apartments. All property sales and leases are overseen by Jersey’s Housing Minister who also grants licenses to new incoming ‘High Value Residents’. Only a select number of High Value Residency permits are granted each year, with each case considered on the basis of the financial and social attributes that candidates bring to the island.

“We are well regulated, have excellent educational facilities and are safe for families and  children,” adds Harry. “Jersey truly offers the ideal balance between work and play, a top quality location that ticks all the relocation boxes.”
