A city gainging huge levels of international investment
Manchester saw a 118% increase in foreign direct investment between 2014 and 2016. For example, with
an £800 million investment from Beijing Construction Engineering Group, Airport City is one of the largest
single investments in Britain from China. A revolutionary extension of the city’s airport, it’s part of the UK
government’s Northern Powerhouse agenda.

A city outperforming London:
London is undoubtedly the UK’s favoured lifestyle
destination. But with a slow place of growth and low
rental yields, more international investors are leaving
London and turning to Manchester, instead –
Home to some of the
world’s leading brands
and organisations
Average London property prices could fall by as much
as £78,267 in 2017 (OPPToday)

The only UK region that recorded a loss – rents in
London decreased by 0.42% in the 12 months to
February 2017
More investment is needed:
According to CBRE –
Over the next 5 years, housing delivery in Manchester
will meet just 25% of annual demand
Following this date, average annual supply will drop
to just 8% of demand based on current delivery

Both UK and international
investors are increasingly turning
their attention away from the
traditional hotspot of London
towards Manchester, thanks to more
favourable capital and rental growth.

There’s never been a better
time to invest in UK property.
Right now, there is a huge opportunity for international investors to buy UK property and
benefit from the best exchange rate in 10 years:
British real estate has long been a preferred asset among many international investors:
Last year sterling fell to a 30-year low against the
US dollar
For those dealing in dollar-pegged currencies, such as
the Emirati dirham, UK property is approximately 16%
more affordable than it was in June 2016. For those
dealing in Chinese yuan, it’s now approximately 11%
more affordable.
But with the pound one of the world’s strongest
currencies, it will soon start to increase in value once
more – meaning investors need to move fast to take
advantage of this currency opportunity
Established property market – over 200 years old
The UK is regarded as a safe-haven for property
investment
Its matured legal system protects property owners
more comprehensively than those in many other
countries around the world
One of the world’s most stable property markets
£1.9 billion was spent on regional UK properties by
GCC and Asian buyers in 2016
