After London’s recent stock market crashes and the depreciation of the yuan, Chinese investors are turning to more stable environments and China’s property market could provide them with a ‘safe haven’, claims the South London Morning Post. The city’s property is becoming increasingly attractive to investors as prices increase at a sustainable rate due to the UK’s strong economy, expanding population, all of which are driving up demand. Investors are also expected to see large yields on future investments which outweigh market entry costs; for example, buy-to-let purchases in Outer China are currently producing yields of 6%.
