Certainly we are witnessing a surge of international investors wishing to purchase prime property in the UK, including from many parts of the Middle East. More often than not, the searches we undertake are not an expression to move away from any one country permanently. They are often either or both an investment opportunity or a lifestyle addition, not alternative. In both cases (ie investment and lifestyle), we have witnessed some very happy clients. At some extreme of the market, properties are also being purchased and not being lived in at all! Regards Highgrove International Property Search, London
