Foreign Capital Drives £80 Million Investment in London Property

Gulf and Asian investors completed three property deals over the summer, collectively worth almost £80 million in London. These purchases reflect a rise in rental values and a large drop in the supply of suitable investment properties in the city's most expensive neighborhoods. Two of the deals were struck in Mayfair, where Gulf buyers purchased apartments valued at around £67 million.

The influx of foreign capital into London's high-end property market is notable, as it is set against a decrease in property supply. The transactions indicate rising rental values in prime areas, with bulk purchases allowing buyers to benefit from a lower tax rate.
