Report on survey results finds that in recent years, demand from overseas investors for UK residential property has increased markedly. This surge of interest has been driven by rising wealth, a desire to widen portfolios, and a more international outlook on behalf of investors. The UK is attractive due to its tax regime, stability and market transparency. In addition, cross border investment regulations have eased. However, legislation still restricts investment from some countries. Concludes that UK stock owners require effective marketing and knowledge of major overseas markets in order to attract further foreign buyers.
