Why Invest in the UK?
Investing in UK real estate offers numerous advantages, making it a compelling opportunity for international investors.
Safe haven market
The UK has the world's 6th largest economy and a large, well-established real estate market. Its robust legal framework and transparent regulations mean reduced risks compared with emerging markets. Political, economic, and currency diversification are key components of a investment portfolio.
Capital growth potential
Historically, UK real estate has demonstrated long-term appreciation, making it an attractive investment option. Cities like London are trading at the highest cap rates seen in the last 10 years.
Liquid and Diverse market
The wide range of investors in real estate in the UK means there is good market liquidity across all real estate subsectors and investment risk profiles.
Infrastructure and connectivity
Well-developed infrastructure, including transportation and amenities, enhances property value and liveability.
Tax and legal benefits
For Latin American investors, the UK offers a streamlined, tax-efficient base with no withholding tax, a clear single-level tax system, and access to the world’s most extensive Double Tax Treaty network.
Rental demand
The UK has a strong and dynamic services and retail sector that drives long-term demand for well-located commercial real estate. On the residential side, a lack of supply and increasing demand provides a safe and stable investment strategy.
Landlord-friendly lease regulations
UK commercial real estate leases tend to be long (typically up to 15 years), allowing for recovery of operating and repair costs, and they include regular rental adjustments to reflect market increases.
Popular with International investors
The UK welcomes foreign investment with straightforward acquisition processes and fund repatriation.
