Reasons to Invest In UK Property

Tax – the UK enjoys one of the most favourable tax regimes in the world for non-residents purchasing residential property and this lack of restriction ensures that market is supported by both domestic and international investors.  For example, as a non-resident, upon selling your UK property you will pay 0% capital gains tax.

Value – property retains an inherent value, although prices may fluctuate, it should always show long-term gain as UK properties have risen 410% between 1986 and 2006 (source: Housing Statistics Briefing, English Partnerships September 2006)

Transfer – can be gifted or placed into trust easily and for additional discretion or indeed with future transfer in mind can be purchased in the name of a company

Risk – through an independent legal firm, all documents and fund transfers are completed and ownership title is registered at the UK Land Registry
