Chinese buyer interest in UK property has kept momentum even 18 months after the Brexit vote, reports BuyAssociation (23 December 2017). According to the international property portal Juwai.com, the number of buying enquiries from potential Chinese investors is 43.2% higher than it was in June 2016. According to Carrie Law, CEO of Juwai.com, “At the time of the referendum, we said that the plummeting British pound would be a primary driver of Chinese property investment in the UK. The lightweight pound is still a key motivator of Chinese investment. Chinese buyers now find that – due to the low sterling – they can buy UK property for about 10% less."
