80% of London units sold to overseas buyers

"In the latest twist in the whole “squeezed out” debate, media reports in the United Kingdom have claimed that 80 percent of the units in a series of new Thameside developments have been bought by foreign purchasers.
As is generally the case, the definition of “foreign” isn’t entirely clear, but according to statistics obtained from Knight Frank by the Guardian, buyers from the Far East accounted for a quarter of properties sold in the four as-yet unnamed schemes. Around 20 percent have seemingly gone to buyers from the Middle East.
The newspaper claimed that 40 percent of the units were sold to investors, and has picked up on Knight Frank’s marketing material for a new scheme at Vauxhall Cross, which is quoted as saying that London is “widely regarded as the ‘gold bullion’ of international property markets” and goes on to talk about returns that have been “better than…the FTSE 100 and gold”.
A spokesman for Knight Frank explained that this level of foreign investment only related to “a narrow percentage of the market, and in the total market across London it is a much smaller proportion”.

Last year, Savills went in-depth on the subject in its World in London report. The agency found that 68 percent of prime London private residential property were owned by domestic U.K. buyers – but that 37 percent of Londoners were born overseas."

Insider news is that 50% of buyers who bought Royal Wharf, a new launch condo in London are Singaporean buyers. Why are Singaporeans so invested in UK property?

1.) London is like a mini Singapore

2.) UK is the country we are most familiar with in Europe because we were once ruled by the British, hence, our education system and governing system has some similarities with London.

3.) London property are similar to Singapore. Pricey and small yet the value still goes up. 

4.) Who wouldn't want to own a property in UK?

Property is one of the safest investments anyone can make. Bricks and mortar. A roof over your head. Solid and tangible. In most markets, property is surging ahead for good reason - interest rates are low and new stock is plentiful.

Two notable cities that look like having a stellar year in 2015 are Manchester - England's second city - and Los Angeles in California. Here is my outlook of some markets around the world to help you start your search.

United Kingdom: Even with an election pending, property is on the up - gains are the biggest in the G7. London offers the best capital gains (over 22% in some areas in 2014) and Manchester, the UK's second city, is also recording double digit growth - with no end in sight. Outlook: POSITIVE

Philippines: A mass of new projects are currently under construction, including a mega casino project, although problems with oversupply may arise, Manila is still a solid buy and prices are increasing. Excellent rental yields too. Outlook: POSITIVE

USA: Uncle Sam is back on his feet, property-wise, and the market has started to accelerate. California is the hottest place for property investors looking at the USA in 2015 - who wouldn't want a piece of Hollywood or a sliver of Silicon Valley? Outlook: POSITIVE

Thailand: While the junta has put back any hope of elections until 2016, the property market is still growing at a good clip. Fears of oversupply appear to be unfounded, and Bangkok and Phuket are still tops. Outlook: POSITIVE

Australia: Low interest rates - forecast to be cut again soon - will keep property buoyant in 2015. Cheaper square foot prices make the Gold Coast and Brisbane attractive. Sydney and Melbourne are set to grow at lower levels than 2014. Outlook: POSITIVE

Indonesia: A new president, a new surge in property prices. While rental yields may not be quite as good as they used to, capital gains are looking promising, with gains of over 10% predicted for Jakarta in 2015. Bali is set to continue its 10% per year increase. Outlook: POSITIVE

Why Invest in overseas property?

Seeing that local properties were moving slow due to the cooling measures, i decided to venture to overseas proprieties. Why has investing in overseas properties seen a rise in sales? It because it provides low capital layout and high rental return yields.

Though home prices in most Asia countries are extremely expensive and see slow capital appreciation, emerging counties like Cambodia, Philippines are still great investments.  Just today, news about property prices in Cambodia abstracted from Phnom Penh Post.

"Political stability, economic growth and foreign investment have led to doubled land prices in four of the capital’s central districts compared to 2008, when prices bottomed out due to the financial crisis, according to a report.

From the second to the third quarter of 2014 alone, land prices in the districts of Chamkarmon, Daun Penh, Prampi Makara and Tuol Kork went up by 20 per cent in commercial areas and 30 per cent in residential areas, the Bonna Realty Group study found.

In Chamkarmon’s Tonle Bassac village, high-end condominiums such as The Bridge and Casa Meridian helped push residential land prices up to $2,000 to $2,500 per square metre, while commercial land sold for up to $4,000 to $6,000. 

Tonle Bassac remains cheaper, however, than Chamkarmon district’s Sihanouk Boulevard. On the centrally-located strip of land from Monivong Boulevard to Independence Monument, commercial land is priced at $8,000 to $9,000 per square metre, a 10 to 15 per cent increase from the second to the third quarter of 2014. The high prices have scared off some investors from developing land in Chamkarmon, the report noted.

The riverfront’s Daun Penh district, on the other hand, had a wider variation in prices, with residential land priced from $500 to $4,000 per square metre. The study noted that the district’s price range, along with the fact that there are relatively few high-rises, made it a promising area for hotel development."
