IFN UK REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT SUMMIT

While the lack of clarity around Brexit shows no signs of improving, strong opportunities remain for investors looking to grow their UK property portfolios. The uncertainty of the past two years has undoubtedly had a stagnating effect on UK property prices, with some areas noting a significant drop. However, there remains to be an opportunity to invest in a number of stable asset classes which both local and international investors will find attractive.

Despite Brexit delays discouraging European investments into the UK, relationships with other countries further afield are blossoming. While manufacturing, healthcare and retail sectors are continuing to be squeezed by Brexit uncertainty, the UK’s strong reputation in the real estate market seems to be gaining pace, particularly for investors looking to take advantage of decreasing property prices.

Unlike many other global markets experiencing political and potential economic turbulence, the UK’s regulatory and legislative prowess is one of its greatest pulls. Still regarded as a ‘safe haven’ for those looking to invest in property, the opportunities — no matter whether commercial or residential — continue to flourish.
