It may be smaller than many of its European cousins, but the UK is a priority for many overseas investors. The country’s main appeal lies in its strong economy, which has led to a reputation as a financial safe haven for investors. Nowhere is that more true than in London. The capital city’s real estate market is driven by foreign and wealthy investors. Prices have risen steadily for several years in London, increasing its attraction as stable market of growth. Away from London, a large student population makes student accommodation in regional cities popular, while rental demand has turned the UK into a promising destination for buy-to-let investors. Combined with colourful countryside across Wales and Scotland plus attractive coastlines, the UK has something for everyone.
