在2021年第一季度，中東的投資者在英國房地產市場佔有16％。比去年第二季度和第三季度高出了6%。來自中東政治組織——海灣合作委員會 （Gulf Cooperation Council - GCC）的投資者紛紛對倫敦梅菲爾 (Mayfair) 特別有興趣。
另外，第一季度英國最大的海外投資者是歐洲人(包含英國人)，每10單交易內有佔近6成都屬於他們。來自亞洲的投資者佔有國際銷售額的18％，可見英國物業的投資價值從沒減退。
Middle Eastern buyers trickling back to UK property market: Knight Frank
Real estate consultant's data highlights that buyers from the GCC are currently ranked third most prominent in the UK.
Investors from the Middle East are beginning to return to the UK’s property market.
According to real estate consultancy Knight Frank, 16 percent of all sales to overseas buyers in the first three months of 2021 were to Middle Eastern buyers, up from less than 10 percent in the second and third quarters of last year.
“This is the highest proportion of Middle Eastern interest since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the UK,” Knight Frank said.
However, Middle Eastern investment is still someway off pre-COVID-19 levels. But the consultancy expects activity to tick up further as international travel restrictions ease.
The data highlights that buyers from the GCC are currently ranked third most prominent in the UK, only surpassed by buyers from Asia (18 percent) and Europe (59 percent).
“International demand for London property has been building over the last 12 months despite global travel restrictions,” said Tom Bill, head of UK residential research at Knight Frank.
“It has led to frustration on the part of some prospective buyers, particularly against the backdrop of the UK’s successful vaccination programme. Once travel rules are relaxed, we expect normal service to resume, including London’s long-standing relationship with buyers from the Middle East,” he added.
Despite lower-than-normal levels of investment from GCC investors, Knight Frank has completed almost £90 million ($124.36)worth of sales since the UK went into lockdown.
Moreas Madani, Middle East Global Wealth Ambassador at Knight Frank, said: “There is a particularly high demand from GCC investors for best-in-class new build projects in and around Mayfair.
“We are seeing steady interest from the Middle East, however, the biggest challenge remains restrictions on international travel. As this eases, and post-Ramadan, we are expecting to see more activity from the region as pent-up demand is released.”
