Thought Leadership Paper (in partnership with 11K Consulting) Post-Brexit 2021 UK-China Property Investment Outlook
Post-Brexit 2021 UK-China Property Investment Outlook:
Where, what and why are Chinese high-net-worth-individuals and Investors buying and developing
in the UK property market?
Key Findings:
Despite Brexit, it is expected that the UK property market remains a hotspot for Chinese high-net-worth-individuals (HNWIs) and investors in the long term
The pandemic is a bigger concern for Chinese buyers than Brexit; Chinese buyers are cautious about the timing of their purchase
London’s position as a global financial powerhouse, an international go-to for education and a safe haven for Chinese investors, remains strong and stable in the long term
London remains a gold standard of investment. Many still view a property in London as a trophy asset and a safe diversification away from their home country
Location, value creation and access to education are some of the major deciding factors that influence Chinese buyers’ decisions when buying or developing properties for own use or investment in the UK
Within London, Covent Garden, Mayfair, Regents Park, Canary Wharf, Nine Elms, Lewisham, Deptford, Woolwich, White City and Ealing are some of the most popular areas in which Chinese HNWIs and investors are buying
Regional cities such as Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield are increasingly popular among Chinese buyers because of potential higher yields and tech start-ups in these cities
