The amount of cross-border capital invested into UK residential assets totaled £5.5 billion last year. Over the last two years, cross-border investment into UK residential has contributed 61% of the total volume of capital deployed.

 

In Q1, £1.1 billion of investment was from overseas, adding to the trend. This has been led by North American investors and, to a lesser extent, by European and Asian funds. Middle east at 2.4%.

 

As investors seek security of income, yield stability, rental appreciation, we expect to see further global capital look to target UK residential investments
