Who Invests in UK Property?

The UK property industry is worth around £110bn to the economy, roughly 5% of UK GVA and supporting 1 in 13 jobs. It is a foundational sector underpinning all other economic activity that relies on the built environment to function.

It's also a sector that is very open to global capital investment. That's why the BPF has partnered with CoStar to produce 'Who Invests in UK Property?', which is the first of an annual series that will track trends in overseas investment into UK property. This will demonstrate the scale of such investment, as well as give indications as to who is investing and where that capital is going, both in terms of geography and asset type.

Through this report, we intend to inform policy-making so that it can understand and better support such investment into the UK, further growing the economy and helping achieve policy ambitions to build more homes, create more jobs and
regenerate town centres.
