Luxury homes at a ‘bargain’ price for overseas investors following Brexit fall in the pound The Daily Mail
We’ve all been guessing what Brexit could mean for property in the long term, but in the short term it seems as though more and more foreign investors are flocking to the UK to pick up bargain luxury pads after the value of the pound plummeted.
Overseas property investors are facing an opportunity to pick up bargain-priced luxury homes in the UK following the pound’s post-Brexit plunge, according to experts.
The fall in the price of sterling – which tumbled to a 31 year low against the US dollar this week in the continuing fall-out from last month’s European Union membership referendum – means the price of such homes are 10 per cent cheaper, building consultancy group Arcadis said.
It claims there has been ‘a bounce’ in enquiries from overseas buyers after the vote at the end of last month and that investors could see a £2million purchase rise in value by £250,000.
Mark Cleverly, head of commercial development at Arcadis, said the trend would help provide a much-needed boost to the housing and construction sector as it grappled with the fall out of the referendum result.
He said: ‘For a market that, in some areas, has been stuttering for some time due to ongoing stamp duty hikes taking the steam out of buyer demand, the buying opportunity presented by recent events could be a big plus.
‘More buyers means a more buoyant market which can only be good news for the industry.’ [Read more]

As good as the BBC coverage is, it would be way cooler if you got to watch the Williams sisters warm up from your own back garden. This amazing home has recently gone on the market which will allow you to do just that (strawberries and champagne not included).
Some tennis fans would pay any price for courtside seats at the world’s favourite grand slam, but how about millions of pounds for year-round access to the sport’s most famous courts?
