04 Properties The finest homes available in London & Internationally via Fine & Country.

While demand for international property is higher than ever, the market has been suppressed due to the current travel restrictions which have been imposed during the pandemic. As countries across the world win the battle against Covid-19 and travel restrictions are lifted, we are expecting a significant surge in international relocations, second-home purchases, and investments. Although the London property market will have some hurdles to overcome, the capital remains a sought-after property investment hub with long-term appeal, particular among overseas investors. It has long been considered a safe haven for property investors across the globe and was recently named as the second-best place for property investment in Europe in The Emerging Trends in Real Estate report from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute.
