The UK received more investment from China than any other nation in Europe and North America in 2018 – around £3.84bn. Much of this went into the purchasing of property.
Increases in personal wealth and rising house prices in traditional investment hotspots like Hong Kong have led Chinese investors to seek out opportunities in the UK. In fact, with trade between the two nations doubling over the last 5 years, China now views the UK on of the most stable and open investment economies in the world.
And it’s not just London that has benefited from this. Enquiries for residential properties in Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh from Chinese investors saw three-digit increases between August 2017 and August 2018 alone.
With this increase in demand for property investment in the UK we have set up a base in Hong Kong to establish links with Chinese investors.
