Why Invest in the UK Property Market?

For APAC investors, the UK property market presents a compelling opportunity for diversification and long-term growth. One of the key attractions is the stability and resilience of the UK property market, which has demonstrated consistent growth over the years. In 2021 alone, property prices surged by 8.6%, showcasing the market’s robustness even in challenging times. Moreover, the UK rental market remains strong, with high demand for rental properties across major cities like London, Manchester, and Birmingham.

Numerous APAC investors consider the UK as a good investment opportunity, with Singapore-based buyers investing an impressive £9.5 billion in the UK’s real estate market, a 120% increase from 2021, and Hong Kong residents own more than 23,000 properties in England and Wales, a dramatic increase from 2,170 homes in 2010.

Rental yields average around 5-6%, offering investors a steady stream of rental income. Additionally, investors benefit from capital appreciation as property prices continue to rise over time. Historically, UK property prices have shown steady growth, outperforming inflation and providing investors with long-term wealth accumulation opportunities.

Moreover, the UK’s transparent and well-regulated property market offers APAC investors peace of mind and confidence in their investments. As the UK continues to attract global talent and investment, investing in UK properties presents an opportunity for APAC investors to capitalise on the country’s economic stability and long-term growth prospects.

Whether you’re considering residential properties, student accommodation, or assisted living properties, we provide insights and resources to help you navigate the dynamic UK property market with confidence. Discover the potential for success and capitalise on the advantages of investing in UK property with us.

There was always someone at the end of the phone line - a human, and a friendly helpful one at that. No question was too small. They made me feel valued. Every single one of the staff I dealt with were simply amazing, approachable and nothing was too much trouble."
