Chinese demand for UK properties is still persisting even 18 months after the Brexit vote, reports World Property Journal (20 December 2017). According to Chinese international property portal Juwai.com, Chinese enquiries for real estate in the UK are still 43% higher than the time of the Brexit referendum last year. "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," said Carrie Law, CEO of Juwai.com.hinese buyers now find that --due to the low Sterling-- they can buy UK property for about 10% less." The UK is currently the sixth-most popular country for Chinese buyers on Juwai.com in 2017, after the US, Australia, Canada, Thailand, and New Zealand.
