The appeal of London as a global city remains strong among Asian investors. With a history of stable returns, a reputable legal framework, and an enduring appeal for lifestyle and education, London real estate continues to be a “safe haven” for investors. While the UK does not offer a “golden visa” programme for property investors like some countries, London’s intrinsic value outweighs the absence of such incentives.

Regent’s View from St William, an upscale residential development situated on the scenic Regent’s Canal and adjacent to a new park, has become a hub of interest for Asian buyers, notably from Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China.

Regent’s View’s success also stems from London’s enduring reputation as a safe, stable investment destination. “We see sustained demand from Southeast Asia, especially Singapore,” Dean Summers, Managing Director, St William, noted, underscoring Singaporeans’ appreciation of London’s strong legal framework, reputable education system, and favourable currency exchange rates. For Singaporeans, the relative strength of the Singapore dollar against the British pound offers a notable advantage, potentially yielding savings of 8-10% on property purchases.

London’s property market has long been a magnet for international investors, particularly those from Asia. In a recent conversation with AsiaBizToday, Dean Summers, Managing Director of St William, a part of the Berkeley Group, outlined key insights into the growing trend of Asian investments in L...
