Yes, buying a property in the UK is a good investment. With property forecasts suggesting the UK could see prices to continue growing, UK investing remains a reliable channel for maximising stable returns amidst low interest rates and high demand.
There are no legal restrictions on expats or foreigners buying property in the UK. It is also possible to get a mortgage in the UK for non-residents. However, those with less than two years of residency in the UK and without a job may face more stringent requirements and larger deposits.
The UK has a wide range of housing prices. The capital city London is one of the most popular cities in the world for overseas real estate investment. The higher demand means that the average property price in London is some of the highest in the world. More affordable locations such as Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham can offer investors more reasonably priced homes.
