WHY ARE SO MANY UK EXPATS MOVING TO FINLAND
Finland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Its pristine natural environment is a huge drawcard and a common reason for moving to this stunning country. Other reasons include:
THE FINNISH ECONOMY IS VERY STRONG
Finland has a GDP per capita output equal to other advanced economies like Germany, France, and the UK. The economy is industrialised and has many strong industries, including manufacturing primary production, professional services, electronics, and mining. It is a strong exporting country that is tightly integrated with the global economy. It is a fantastic destination for anyone looking for employment.
FINLAND HAS A RICH HISTORY
The history of Finland stretches back many thousands of years. It was an important location in the Bronze and Iron ages, with huge settlements in the Häme and Savo regions. The country has prevailed despite some major conflicts, including a civil war in the early 20th-Century. It is influenced by many European cultures but has its own distinct culture, which is deep and very interesting.
FINLAND IS WELL-LOCATED
Because Finland is an export nation, it has excellent transit routes to other countries, including Sweden, Germany, Russia, Denmark, and Poland. It is easy to travel to other parts of Europe, which makes it the perfect base for anyone interesting in visiting other countries.
THE FOOD IN INCREDIBLE!
The food in Finland is incredibly good. They tend to enjoy rich comfort food as it helps them stay warm in the colder months. This includes delicious breads, cheeses, soups, and vegetables. They are also crazy about coffee, with the Finnish people being one of the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world. You will love the cafe scene and the wonderful pastries on offer.
THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN FINLAND IS WORLD-LEADING
Finland has an education system that is the envy of other countries. The government funds the education well and pays teachers high wages — which helps to attract talented people. The Finnish education system regularly ranks in the top 5 for OECD countries, with its primary schools currently ranked #1 for reading and science. This makes it the perfect location for families with young children. The universities are world class and attending one is free for Finnish citizens. Some of the best schools in Finland include:
- International School of Helsinki

What’s Life in Finland Like?
When you go on holiday to Finland, you’ll be likely to get an airbrushed version of what it might be like to live there. We’re always interested in the experience of day-to-day living from clients who have made their home in this amazing country. What’s different from living in the UK? And what do they miss from home?
Here are 5 of the most regular responses we hear:
1. Life Runs to a Timetable in Finland
This tends to be the first thing our clients remark on. Meetings start on time, classes begin on the dot, and buses arrive when scheduled. Being prompt isn’t just about rules, and schedules; it’s woven into the Finnish way of life as a form of respect and integrity. The quickest way to annoy Finns is to arrange a meeting and then turn up late with no good reason.
2. Silence is OK
For anyone who’s struggled to maintain a flow of meaningless small talk at a party, this will come as a major relief. The Finnish people do not feel the need to fill a silence unless they have something the really want to say. This can be scary until you give in to the sense of peace and relaxation it offers. It’s OK to spend time with someone without talking.
3. The Winters are Cold – and Dark
Yes, the temperature plummets in the winter, to -30° or even -50°C. There’s very little wind, however, which makes the cold dry, and – so long as you’re wearing the right clothes – bearable. What’s more difficult is the darkness. In the south you get only 6 hours daylight, whereas in the north, the sun hardly rises. This is the most difficult thing expats in Finland have to learn to cope with.
4. You Need to Learn Finnish
This is a really interesting one. Finns are amongst the top English speakers across the globe, and it’s perfectly possible to live in Finland using only English. But you’ll feel like an outsider. We hear again and again that in order to understand the Finnish culture, and the people, you need to let go of your English and start to learn Finnish.
5. Standard of Living in Finland
The cost of living in Finland is 8.9% higher than in the UK. The items which are way more expensive than in the UK are alcohol and eating out. Renting an apartment is however 10.5% cheaper than in the UK, and Finland housing prices tend to be lower to. Apartments outside the city centre are priced at £2412.82 per square meter. The average salary for Finns, after tax is £2017.14.

Schepens is a European removals company with over 100 years’ experience moving clients for work, or to start a new life abroad. We hear again and again that Finland is a country that is prosperous, works well, and has learned to cope admirably with the adverse condition they face each winter.
