The UK has become a popular destination for foreign real estate investment with a total of £1.4bn being invested by China in 2015. This figure rose in 2016 to £1.8bn for China’s total UK investment. The UK’s record year was noted in 2014 where an investment total of £3.8 billion was invested for the year. 2017 holds unclear predictions for foreign investment figures due to China’s recent target of interest being central Europe. The property markets in central Europe offer lower prices and less competitors in comparison to UK markets.
