Where is the best place to buy a house in Britain?

London has always been a super attractive city for investment and will continue to be the focus of investment. In 20 16, the amount of foreign investment attracted by Europe was10.3 times that of Asia and10.8 times that of North America, of which Britain accounted for 25% of Europe and London accounted for 37% of Britain.

London has always been rated as the favorite city of the rich in the world. One-third of the buyers in London's core area come from overseas. Therefore, London real estate is also a very popular city for overseas buyers. It is not uncommon for Li Ka-shing to invest 100 billion pounds in London and Zhang Songqiao to invest100 billion pounds in London. According to Savills statistics, more than half of the top London properties in London were bought by overseas buyers, with China buyers spending the most time.

Overseas buyers prefer London real estate because the fundamentals of British real estate policy have many advantages. For example, permanent property rights, hardcover with home appliances and no swimming pool, no foreign property tax, low loan interest rate (the lowest interest rate can be 1.69%, only the principal is repaid without interest), and London's transparent and mature real estate transaction system is also very easy to endorse.

Due to the gravity of London, the rigid housing in London has been in short supply. From June 20 18 to June 20 19, about174,000 new properties were added, which is still far below the government's annual target of adding 300,000 new properties. Demand exceeds supply, which is why house prices and rents are also rising every year.

Birmingham is closer to London, and it takes 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to London by train. The newly started British high-speed rail line 2 includes three parts, namely the London-Birmingham section; Birmingham-Manchester section; Birmingham-Leeds section.

When it is fully opened, the time from Birmingham and Manchester to London will be greatly reduced.

There are five universities in Birmingham, among which Birmingham University and Aston University are among the top 400 universities in QS world. It is also the largest "university town" in Britain except London. The gathering of high-quality colleges and universities brings a large number of young people and injects a steady stream of fresh blood into the city. Among them, Birmingham University has trained 1 1 Nobel Prize winners. In addition to transportation and educational resources, these two cities are also attracting large companies to settle in.

In Manchester, a 650 million media city has gathered more than 200 large media and creative companies, including BBC headquarters. E-commerce giant Amazon will open its first hotel in Manchester later this year. Among FTSE 100 companies, 80 have settled in Manchester. The employment growth rate in 1998-20 15 was 84%, and the population growth in the downtown area in 2002 -20 15 was 149%.

Birmingham is surrounded by HS2 high-speed railway station, Fortune 500 companies, large international airports and famous universities, which also attracts 45,000 enterprises to settle in. PricewaterhouseCoopers, HSBC and HMRC have all transferred a lot of resources to this area. In addition, it has the largest legal service community in Europe, the largest accounting service community outside London, and the world's high-end manufacturers such as Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls Royce and Aston Martin.

In the past five years, house prices in Birmingham have risen by as much as 30%. Last year, house prices in Birmingham rose more than other parts of Britain, with an annual growth rate of 8.6%.

The presence of enterprises is not only beneficial to the local economy, but also brings talent and housing demand. When the British high-speed rail line 2 project is completed, both regions will benefit from shortening the travel time to London, which will attract more commuters.

The demand for renting houses in Manchester, Birmingham and Reading is very strong, and the house prices are much lower than those in London. They are a treasure-house for housing education and investment in house purchase.

Take Manchester for example. At present, the average house price is 240,000 (the average house price in London is 965,438+8,000), and the monthly rent reaches 1 154. Therefore, the rental yield in Manchester is generally high, at 5%.
